Description of dance at end of World War I

The members of the 500 Club arranged for a dance in Goodnow Hall in the evening. A portion of the paper clippings a (sic) follows: "After watching the remains of "his nibs" (the Kaiser) reduced to ashes the crowd dispersed and went to the Town Hall where a victory dance was held. The dance was gotten up on the spur of the moment by the Jr. 500 Club. No admittance was charged as the town furnished the hall. The first number on the program was a reading by Miss Helen Smith which was beautifully rendered and which was very fitting for the occasion. The hall was beautifully decorated with bunting and flags, while hung from the center of the stage was a very humorous picture of the Kaiser riding a camel underneath it said, "Good by Kaiser." Miss Helen Hawkes and Mrs. Walter Ford alternated playing the piano and Lawrence Bolton played the violin. The dancing lasted until twelve and everyone went home happy.
