The hold Arden Shore has for its graduates is manifested in part in two instances. One boy drove from Flint, Mich., for reunion, and one was present who had been at the first home~oming seven years ago. Commencing at 3, the following program was given for the boys and for the many frien~.~ from the. entire north shore who were visitors at the camp last Sunday afternoon.

Owing to the White Elephant sale, thfs meeting is one week later than usual, which has given both flowers and committees extra time in which to perfect themselves for the day. The arrangement of the progam is to be unusual. The annual reports and election of officers will p.recede the luncheon, not follow it, as is customary. ·At 10:30, in the Neighborhood room, this important business meeting will take place. The reports will be brief and of interest. A birthday luncheon, with all th~ charm that the word implies, will follow inunediately after the morning session. A delightful musical program will follow the luncheon. The list of artists comprises Mrs. John Hansel, Jr., contralto; Mrs. \Villiam D. ~fcAdams, · New Drama Club Board Meets to Outline Plans. The executive board of the Community Drama club met at Community House Monday morning to outline plans for the year.
