the other members of the Athena
Club with a Kid Party.
After much debate, if was de-
cided' that Clara Hastings Clay-
bourn should receive the prize, a
little car, for being the cutest kid.
She was envied by all as she lost
her first tooth that night, bubble
gum did it. Close contenders for
the prize were Claire Partain Bur-

decided that Claire cried too much
and Lucille wouldn’t mind not win-
ning since she was a good Girl

won Easter baskets or jump ropes.
Delicious banana splits were

tired but happy around 10 p.m.,
which was a late hour for young-
sters.—Reporter.
