96 in Attendance at Father-Son Banquet
Ninety-six men and boys attended the Father and Son banquet Saturday evening at the Baptist church dining room.
The Berean class served the dinner, the principal feature of which was the elk steak, furnished by Geo. Cilder, mashed potatoes, gravy, escalloped corn, buttered rolls, cranberry mold, apple pie and coffee completed the menu.
Table decorations consisted of miniature Christmas trees. A bouquet of roses added to the appointments at the speaker’s table.
Rev. W. O. Roten presided as toastmaster, Reagan Jones favored with a violin solo. Dr. John Barton of Sioux Falls gave the address of the evening which was on the relation of the father to the son. He emphasized the need of comradeship. The father should enter into the spirit of the boy in his play as well as his work.
The banquet was an enjoyable event and created a feeling of fellowship.
