CHORAL UNION ENJOYS FROLIC TUES.
On Tuesday evening, February 19th
the Congregational church parlors,
festively arrayed In patriotic colors,
formed an Ideal setting for the First
Annual February Frolic of the Amherst Choral Union.
This civic organisation, .-hlch may
well be called a philanthropy, Is yet
In Its Infancy, although It has already
established an enviable reputation.
Nevertheless It does not boast a real
home, rehearsals being conducted
weekly in the music room of the school
house. Consequently the place for a
social gathering Is at the mercy of
our local churches and public halls.
Thus the hospitality extended on this
occasion by thu Congregational church
is'greatly appreciated.
As the guests arrived, each was
asked to register, receiving thereupon an Identification card, either red.
white, or blue—and these formed the
keynote for the evening's festivities.
To say "there was something doing
every minute" would mildly express
the wealth of fun and wholesome enjoyment provided by the Social Committee. At a late hour, having match-
el hatchets for partners, the guesti
responded to the welcome cell or
"Eats" by forming a line, cafeteria
style.
Although the weather was Inclement
the guests numbered about 46—and
each experienced so much pleasure
thut It was unanimously voted to make
the February  Frolic an annual affair.
