Orphans Celebrate Elks Bounty At Glen Echo Park
A 1918 crowd of over 600 city orphans and a few others enjoyed a day at Glen Echo Park hosted by the Elks. Diabolo, ice cream, rides, and a What Is It exhibit delighted the children while Johnnie and Maggie from St Vincent’s and St Ros shared in the outing. A later ice cream service and a tense moment when a nun questioned the event followed, but a calm resolution saw Johnnie and Maggie escorted safely home.
