Lee Novel Christmas Party Staged by Rotarians Guests See Santa Come To Life, Sing Carols, Hear Talk, Dance at Dunes Club Over 50 Rotarians, Rotary Annes ■and their guests gathered at the Dunes CTub iMt Friday night for their Christmas party. In addition to the excellent dinner served, a pro gram of Christmas carols was in terspersed with musical numbers by the Senators, Gypsy Lee and Joy Robinson. W. Duncan [Matthewls* humorous talk on Christmas Spirit left much food for serious thought. He brought out the point that if we all remembered our fellow beings’ virtues, but promptly forgot their faults, the Christmas Spirit would prevail throughout the year. The highlight of the evening came when the “Spirit of Christmas” was Torought to life. A coffin was wheeled in the dining room. When it was op ened Santa Claus was discovered peacefully sleeping therein. After being brought to life to the tune of “Jingle Bells,” Santa distributed gifts to all those present, and ex tended wishes for a Merry Christ mas and a Happy New Year. To the strains of a funeral dirge Santa was again consigned to the coffin and buried for another year. The excellent music furnished by the Senators was too good to waste, and dancing was the next order of the evening. When the party finally "broke up in the wee small hours all agreed that this should become an annual affair. <}YMKHANA ON JAN. 6 IN SOUTHERN PINES KING The second gymkhana of the sea son In Southern Pines wlU be held at the new ring at the Country Club next Friday, January 6th, when most of the riders and horses of Pine- burst and Southern Pines will be seen In a varied program of eques trian events.
