Show Lions Club Installs Officers I At Special Function 1 ' fc '" H 3 EARL HOLMSTEAD INCOMING LION PRESIDENT I Secretary's Report Gives Activities I of Club For Year. I With the unfailing wit and humor of the new president, Earl (Hap) Holmstead drawn from his seemingly limitless supply spiced with quips , and pranks concocted by tht incoming in-coming tail twister, C. A. (Tab) Grant, and others the installation of officers of the Lions Club, which took place Thursday night of last week, was one of the jolliest affairs af-fairs the club has enjoyed in some time. The Lions had their ladies as guests as well as a number of specially bidden friends. About one hundred in all were present at the social, which was held in Firmage hall. Even the ceremony attendant at the installation of the new officers could not repress the prevailing humor but the new officers pledged themselves to accept their duties seriously. Coach Ott Romney of the Brigham Young University, the speaker of the evening, kept the group in one uproar of laughter as he toasted (?) the ladies, and incidentally in-cidentally gave highlights on his friendship with Mr. Holmstead extending ex-tending over a period of years. One serious item of; the business portion of the program was the annual report given by the outgoing out-going secretary, Owen Humphries. The retiring president, Roy Greenwood, Green-wood, and the retiring secretary, Mr. Humphries, each expressed pleasure at the opportunity of having served in these offices and of the benefit each had gained through the sendee rendered, and each was presented with a special pin by the club. Musical numbers on the program were rendered by the members of the high school male quartet, Reed Davis, Darrell Wanlass, Earl Pulley and Winn Carlisle, accompanied by Miss Lydia Olsen. Mr. Wanlass and Mr. Davis each rendered a vocal solo. To Mrs. Roy Greenwood and Mrs. Earl Holmstead was presented a beautiful potted plant, a token of esteem from the club to the wives of the retiring and incoming presidents. Dancing was enjoyed until midnight mid-night in the amusement hall. n ' I Secretary's Report The American Fork Lions Club finishes its seventh year of com-ninity com-ninity service and launches into its eighth year with this meeting and social. It is customary and fitting, at this time, to briefly review the activities ac-tivities and accomplishments of our Club for the past twelve months, and, as your secretary, I submit the following report. The Club entered its seventh year with an enrollment of forty-five members. This membership has decreased to thirty-nine, but we still have one of the largest Clubs in district dis-trict Twenty-eight. During the year, our Club has held nineteen regular meetings and luncheons, two Ladies Night Socials, land the directors have been called together for five additional meetings. We have also brought some high type speakers here from every walk of life. From among them we recall re-call the following: Prof. Grant Ivans, Prof. Hanson, Prof. Cummings of the B. Y. U., Newell B. Cook of the State Fish and Game department, Congressman Robinson, Mr. Stevens of the C. C. Camp at American Fork canyon, Mr. Jacobs of Provo, who is interested in Deer Creek project, and a number of local speakers and state entertainers. The Club selected a major project of changing the road to American Fork canyon, which would shorten the distance to the canyon; but, as yet, the project has not been completed, com-pleted, however, it will still be followed fol-lowed up by the committee in charge. Other activities are, sponsoring the baseball club, cooperating with the schools on its building programs, and having one or more of our members in attendance at all the Deer Creek Project meetings. Our Club also put over American Fork Day at Saratoga, which was a great success and brought tne Club Thirty two dollars, from the dance and concessions. In conclusion I wish to thank every member of the Club for their splendid support in the past year. I have received more out of Lionism through serving my Club than I possibly could have gotten in any-other any-other way. I have enjoyed the association and help of my fellow officers, and I want to pledge my support to the incoming officers for the future. Respectfully submitted, Owen G. Humphries, Secretary. |
