February 18, 1928 WINNETKA TALK BOYS' CLUB PATRONESS HONOR GUEST AT DINNER Triangle Club Fetes Mrs. Philip Post Who Furnished Club Room at Community House By E. W. W. A gala occasion--one long to be re- membered by those present--was held by the Triangle club of boys in Com- munity House, Wednesday evening, February 8. It was a dinner given by the club to Mrs. Philip Sidney Post in appreciation of her interest in the boys and of her furnishing their club room. After greeting Mrs. Post in the club room, a delicious dinner was served in the Assembly room. The young women of the Business Girls' club waited on the tables. The guests and members then returned to the club room where coffee was served. Here, in the beautiful room named in honor and memory of Philip Sidney Post and made so attractive through Mrs. Post's interest and generosity, the club and its guests spent a delightful evening. Express Appreciation It was a time at which the Club en- deavored to express to Mrs. Post something of their deep appreciation of what she had done for them. There was a note of gratitude so genuine, towards both Mrs. Post and Commun- ity House, that there could be no mistaking the feeling of the boys, and the special guests present felt they were quite privileged to be there. Jack McFadzean presided and most happily conducted the occasion. Al Eckart spoke of the Club's apprecia- tion of Community House, and espe- cially of what Mrs. Post had done in making their dream come true of a beautiful club room. He told some- thing of the early history of the Club; how it began in 1918 with a group of six or eight boys, who met at first in the attic of Community House and later in a room of their own in the basement there; how, when the new addition to Community House was built they were given their present large club room. He touched most interestingly on some of the things in the life of the club which had held them together. Speaks for Governors William C. Boyden spoke for the Board of Governors of Community House and feelingly of Mr. Post, whom he said the boys could well take as an example. Harry P. Clarke, long a friend of the club, was called on and felicitated the club on its growth and on this particular occasion. He illustrated his talk with apt stories and told some- thing of his early life and his interest and introduction to boys' work through a friend. Mr. Brookhausen, one of the club's members, sang a number of songs, to the delight of the guests and club. Miss Marie Eckart accompanied him on the piano. "Chief" J. W. F. Davies, who has always been a big brother and friend of the boys, recalled the beginning of the club and his early association with boy's work. He spoke of the greater leisure enjoyed by the youth of today, and raised the question of how best to use it. He urged the value of each having a "hobby'--something more than merely earning a living or mak- ing money. Upon being called upon, Mrs. Post graciously responded that she was most appreciative of the opportunity of being a friend to the club, that ~--King Tut Comes to Life in the ~~ [Egyptian Follies Jane Kuppenheimer Memorial Hall SKOKIE SCHOOL, Feb. 24 and 25, 8:00 P.

She touched upon the many kindly services to the club of Mrs. Deily and Mrs. Voltz, both of whose boys had been members. She expressed her pleasure at being pres- ent. The club presented her with a bunch of beautiful roses, and invited her to come often to see them. Mothers are Guests of Girls' Club at Dinner Last Thursday evening the Girls' club of New Trier High school gave its an- nual Mothers' and Daughters' banquet.
