One hundred seventy five relatives attended. officers were elected with Frank Stauffer as chairman and A L Stauffer as secretary and treasurer.

The article also notes a Lititz loss in a Memorial Day game, a separate Lititz win over the Owls, and a Pond Brand Peanut Butter promotion at Miller & Habecker.

It highlights an incident where Charles I ejected a Berkshire squire dubbed an ugly rascal, a name later linked to his death warrant as a symbol of royal-subject tensions.
The piece notes Will Crooks spoke with rare personality that eluded reporters and could not be captured in print. It recalls a wartime recruiting meeting where his retort shut down an interrupter and a favorite Piccadilly story about a flower girl and a daughter coming out.
