Elders Ridge lecturers and town notes mark a busy period
The third Lecture Course number by Julius Caesar Nayphe on January 12 featured a display of Grecian customs and American contributions. A future lecture by J Walter Wilson Company was announced. Elders Ridge hosts a tense basketball game where Apollo High School was defeated 36 to 24, with spectators praising the display of peaceable military tactics. Local meetings, church activities, travel, and illness updates fill the remainder with notes on residents, travels, and community events across Elders Ridge and nearby towns.
