Social and club notes reach through town events
The Civic Improvement Society met in Mono Club rooms and earmarked 100 dollars for a drinking fountain while the treasurer reported 199 dollars in the treasury. Kappa Delta hosted an At Home event at Story street with faculty and college guests, and several Pi Phi members were noted as visitors. A Congregational Church program of old songs drew a large young audience, and Miss Roberta Hanna received praise. The Craftsmen’s local Masonic group became Acacia Fraternity Koch Chapter at a March 20 ceremony with university delegates. A wedding of Algona locals featured a groom from Ames and a bride raised in town, followed by a reception hosted by Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Gilmore for the newlyweds.
