MISS LiNNEY ENTERTAINS
SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS
Miss Margaret Linney charmingly
entertained the members of her Sun- ; >
day School class at her homo Tuos- 11
day afternoon. Tables were prepared
for games of hearts and a place '
for each guest was marked by a gen- ;
erous basket of delicious candies {j
made by the hostess' own versatile j j
hand.
1
The little ladies enjoyed their .
frames, followed by sports or. the
lawn, a story by Miss Anr.ie Stanbury
and a proper climax was reached ,
when the hostess sorted delightful;
ice cream and cakes.
The joy of this festive occasion i!
was tinged w ith a hit of sadness for I
children couid not forget that their I
teacher is leaving for college next'!
week, and they know that they shall j I
miss the gentle hand that has led
them in their Sunday School work j j
every since they left the primary de- |:
partment. They must needs feel the : |
loss of a teacher as faithful and elti- :
cient and of a friend whose life ha-I
been an inspiration and guide. The !
members of the class of Miss Linney
and who enjoyed her hospitality are:
Misses Masio Jean Jones, Edith An- '
tiers, Elizabeth Hahn, Gertrude Per-j
ry, Mary Francis Linr.ey, Ella Weaver,
Ruth Farthing" and Maude and
Liia Clay.
