Joymakers' Club Hold Annual Banquet
The Joymakers Club, auxiliary of Bethel A. M. E. Church, held its fourth annual banquet Thursday evening in the lecture room which was beautifully decorated in the club colors of blue and white. Sixty members of the organization gathered around the banquet table which was presided over by Irvin Flowers, master of ceremonies. An interesting literary and musical program was presented in which the following took part: Nellie Franklin, Dorothy Moten, Lucille Jackson, Myrtle Maxwell, Lenora Freeman, Lorenna Mathews, Anna Morrison, Lottie Johnson, Mesdames Susan Mason, Margaret Griffith, Susan Flowers and Messrs. Arthur Harris. Eugene Carr, Claude Holiday, Victor Hooper, Donald Anderson and D. Oliver. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Taylor, recently of Seattle, also made interesting remarks. Mrs. Lulu Gregg, who has held the office of president ever since the organization of the club, deserves a great deal of credit for her untiring efforts in making the club a success. The program was arranged by Miss Myrtle Maxwell. A Victor Electrola concert was furnished through the courtesy of G. F. Johnson Music Co.

Bethel A. M. E. Church. X. C. Runyon, pastor.-Rev. J. W. Johnson, regional secretary of the National Baptist Convention, preached an able sermon last Sunday morning.
