All members of that unit were present. The club pledge was given by the club members, followed by roll call. Each member responded by telling a joke or riddle. The business of the evening consisted of electing a new vice president, Norman Meints being elected to fill this position. The program consisted of a reading by Evelyn Baustian, harmonica solo by Robert Medill, talks by County Agent Fred B. Willrett and Mrs. Scott, reading by Mary Cooksley, and a song contest between the boys and girls, followed by 15 minutes of instruction on parliamentary procedure.""A joint social gathering of the Rock County Male Chorus and the Rock County Ladies’ Chorus was Friday evening in the basement of the M.E. Church, following the regular rehearsals of the groups that evening. The ladies were entertainers for the occasion, in accordance with an agreement that had been made in a ticket selling contest prior to the recent concert given in Luverne by the South Dakota State College Glee Club, they having been losers in this contest.
