for stuns were next. Oh. boy!
* When they saw lllll ltedway com-
.ine down the field with the sacks
’oveflono made a rush“ for Bill.
“Give, me a. bag. Mister."
“Hey Bill. you know me. I see-
'you play ball every Sunday. Slip
he a bag 1 want to get in this race."
Then they all jumped on Bill and
.I thought that Bill was going down
star the count. I rushed through the
-orowd to llill's rescue and about 18
landed around my neck and there
.vas Bill and me all tangled up
with about two hundred kids want.
ing t oget hold of it bags. At last
’ we untangled ourselves and made a
. rand dash for liberty each with our
itwo hands full of socks. We placed
.ourseives up against the baseball
backstop and prepared for the worst.
Bill then told them that th-‘re
wouldn't be any race it they did not
_stop pushing. This quieted them
{down and after much work we fi-
- naily ran the sack races off and de-
Icided to call it an afternoon.
We then discovered we had a
. bunch of prizes left over. So it was
' decided to give all of the kids a prize
’whether they won a prize or not.
It was easier. Bill and I started to
line them up to give the prizes away.
After getting them lined up the
custodians of the prizes started to
(rifle them out and the kiddies came
so fast that he didn't notice to whom
he. was handing them. One of the
boys received a stuffed rabbit and
took one look at it and than said.
.",whs.t am I going to do with that
‘did thing" and with this he threw
it back into the box. Then Mr.
Danncberg gave him a baseball and
he went away happy.

Doils. and paints. and puzzles. and
sewing bags. and dresses and share.
these were only some of the prizes
that the lucky winners received.

The sack race for boys under ten
years proved thoroughly amusing.
The sacks stayed on fairly well, too.
except when their occupants were
in too much of a hurry and conse-
qucnlly tripped and went sprawling
on 1).: grass.

The winners in the first hear were:
Rudolph Cary. first; l‘aul Lepor.
second: Ambrose Carbone. third;
Mantel Gould. fourth. and tack Gorv
man fifth.

In the second heat. John Welscit
and Joe l-‘arrino tied for fixst since.
John Drckovsky came in third. iii-ril-
ert Eduson. fourth. and John Arena.
fifth.

Since there were plenty of prizes.
no filial heat was held.

The winners in the sack race for
girls under fen were: i'lrst tic-at.
Grace Glam. first; Rose lTrii-is. seo~
ond; Margin-t liornick. third: Helen
Stabcll, fifth. and Lily Jones fourth‘.

The sack race for. boys over ten
was won by: John Ingram. first:
George Strnub. second; Harry Arson.

third: Isadore Levy, fourth. and
ank Reynolds. fifth. ' . .
By this time. the judges and the

children were pretty tired. and as
the weather was so warm it was de-
cidednot to run any more races. but
to line the kiddies up. two by two.
and have them march in order to
the wonder box. which contained all
the prizes, and give out w is m'ouvenlf'
to each child. The purpose was no-
compllshcd. but not in the orderly
fashion anticipated. The Joyous kid-
dies ran wild and crowded around
the box and almost suffocated each
other and the distributors. Finally.
one of the "Him": managed to grab
'yan armful of prizes and lead a

the athletic field. where they were
given out.

And then it was time to go home.
and how those kiddies packed the
cars. More kiddies had evidently
joined the Sentinel party. for it was
found that three more trolleys were
needed for the reiurri tiip.

That the chapcrons had as good a
time as the kiddies is evident from
lill‘ remarks of one representative,
Mrs. Frank \V. Hadley. who said:

"i enjoyed every minute. \Vlien-
ever I see a lot of children happy.
then I'm happy. no matter how liitd
i am."

And so the big ptvty is over. yet
all Nut-walk (curls that it contributed

 

 

t: the huge success of ihe affair. and
if the generous git-ms had seen the
happy smiles of the kiddies. they
would have felt amply repaid for

\vn:-l they did.
