Se. [he Dryden Observer VOL. VIIL DRYDEN, Ontario, March 3oth, 1928 mr frenilonss a No XXXIX Eric Green Leaves for West Wednesday evening, March 21st, the friends of Eric Green gathered at the home of Harry Gammon for a fare- well stag party for Eric who is leav- ing at the end of the month to take up a postition in the west. 80, because he was one of the very few boosters that we have in town, He was a hard worker over the rink this fall and was one of the committee that finally got it started late in the winter, besides he was always a will- ing help in anything in the musical line. Mr Hambly, in making the presenta- tion speech, remarked that some peo- ple come to town, and leave town again, but none are missed when they go, so much as a musician--and more so in Dryden because there so preci: ous few of them and without music a community must suffer. Mr Hambly then presented Eric with a new style "Chick" razor and a gold mounted Parker Pen and Pencil set from the boys. Eric thanked the boys for the splen- Boy's Camp Council Chambers to discuss the pos- sibilities of a Boys Camp for this year. Mr Rivers first gave a very brief outline of what was done in the camp' | and Mr Lock gave the financial state- All who know Eric regret to see him, ment. ' Then discussion arose as to! the possibility of a camp this year. Evary man was aware of the fact that all the boys were very keen on having Mr Rivers asked that the commiitee responsible for financing the camp this! summer be made up of laymen and to the clergy and any they could pro- cure to help them. The laymen thought doing whatever they could, The fol- | lowing officers were then appointed: | Patrons,--J. S. Wilson, Dingwall Hon. Presidents--Mr A. Pitt, Dr H. did party that had been arranged for him and also for the gifts. He said that anything he had done or had been instrumental in bringing about while he had been in Dryden was for the advancement of the community at large and with regard to the rink, he hoped he would be able to pick up the Observer next year and read of the These officers together with Messrs 20CXe¥ Wice, Wigle and Hamilton eonstifrie 2 an Advisory Committee, Camp Directors--Rev. H. A. Rivers b . and Rev. R. A. Smith. The question of a Girls eamp to low the Boys camp was then disex Ol opening of a new rink in Dryden. He promised to not let the pen or pencil] go beging for a job and would let them hear from him when he got to the coast. The crowd then joined hands to the singing of "For He's a Jolly Good Fel-! low." A splendid lunch was prepared by | Mrs Harry Gammon and Miss Valerie! Ray and served by Messrs Pitt, Green, and Turner, because no wives sisters or sweethearts were in on this party and you can believe that the way that lunch disappeared made Johnson's magic tricks look like a two cent post- age stamp. Bert Berrey says: "there is only one thing he likes better than aj Dill pickle and that's two of them." After supper, as the first part of the evening was spent in cards, the boys got the low-down on the music and sang all the old songs, Art Payne and Jack Skillen doing some very fine team work--Art was a little off on the top notes, but says he always did have a job making "z" flat. Tom Crawley, Arthur Pitt and Eric obliged py singing "On the Road to Mandalay" Jack Cox was to have made up the quartett, but got lost on the road. © Those present were: Messrs Jack Cox, George Turner, M. D. Hambly, D, Beveridge, H. Gammon, E, Green, T. Crawley, A. Payne, J. Skillen, B. Berrey, J. Russell A. Pitt, H. Hil L. Whiting, R. Olsen, E, Ray, and F. Kerney. The party broke up in the early hours of the morning, but everybody was home ahead of the milk, three of them getting under the wire by a hea and everyone had a real good time.
