Fifty-eight of the sweetest girls ever to compose the graduating class of
Glynn Academy were guests of the Kiwanis Club at its meeting this
afternoon, and they put on a delightful program for the members.
Entertaining the girl

number of years, and the meeting is always looked forward to as one of the
most delightful of the year. Today was no exception, and it was

over to the class.
Miss Carolyn Wolfe,

entertaining the girls, and then introduced Miss Eugenia Fiveash,
who acted as master of ceremonies, and she handled the program in
excellent fashion.
A solo by Miss Matie
Latimer, accompanied by Miss Louise Davis, in which the entire
class joined in the chorus, was the first fine number on the program.
Miss Fiveash then
introduced each member of the class, mentioning some charateristic of
each, and as she did they stepped up and were given a present. Each
received a pretty compact.
A trio, composed of
Misses Betty Brown, Frances Foster and Ann Whittle rendered a
delightufl miscal number.
Mis Geraldine Pittard
then, in a ver fine little talk, told the club it was a real pleasure for
the girls to attend the Kiwanis luncheon, and speaking for the class, she
said she was certain each member enjoyed it. The students closed the
program with the singing of the Alma Mater.

club were Miss Jane Macon, Miss May Jo Bunkley and Miss Beulah
Lott, members of the faculty. Other guests included Lieut.
