smile and is passing out the
cigars to their many friends
who offer the happy couple
many congratulations. The
baby girl has been named

The Big New Year’s Eve
Frolic at the Pioneer Hall,
drew a capacity crowd,who
all joined together in mak
ing “whoopie” as the old
year passed out and the
new year came in. Music
furnished by the orchestra
kept the jolly crowd danc
ing to an early hour. Fav
ors, noise makers, balloons
and etc., presented to the
dancers helped to make the
evening a huge success.
Hundreds of balloons tied
to the ceiling as decora
tions were handled as ex
pected, everyone having a
grand time popping them
down and passing them to
fellow dancers.
