The Club also invited the Algonquin Senior Citizens group to hear the band play. It was a most interested and enthusiastic audience. The band members were delighted to find they had another en­ thusiastic audience on the outside, at the windows. In fact, the youngsters were so in­ terested that a small group came into the hall after the program to inspect the in­ struments to see how they were made from kitchen utensils and gadgets, and to ask how such lively music could come from them. The band members had a good time visiting with the audience while enjoying the refreshments at the conclusion of the program. The band fulfilled another engagement made last season when they played for the St. Peter's Christian Mother's club, at St. Peter's church in Spring Grove, Thursday, May 15. The band has many requests for programs and is now busy trying to get its schedule completed for this season. Any IAD BAR1 NOW AT vices. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Mary Checchin of 207 S.
