MRS. LONA SMITH AND MISS ANNIE PERRY ENTERTAIN FOOTBALL BOYS AFTER GRAND
PRAIRIE GAME
Eats! Oh, boy! Turkey, dressing, cranberries and -- well all the goodies that
go with a real honest-to-goodness feed. The occasion was a banquet given
by Mrs. Lona Smith and Miss Annie Perry at Mrs. Smith's home north of town,
honoring the football boys. The banquet came as a reward to the boys for
their excellent playing Thursday with Grand Prairie. The score was 0 to 6 in OUR
favor -- of course. The Grand Prairie boys were game. They fought
until the last whistle and left with pleasant feelings both ways.
The boys have played six games this season winning five out of the six, good!
The evening was spent in playing games and eating. Dinner was served to
the following couples: Fyke
Brake and Tessie Seaman, Lindall Libby and Johnnie Lois Warner, Tom
Vandergriff and Charles Mayes, Gordon Vandergriff and Gladys Perry, Clyde Mayes
and Louise Perry, Allen Good and Ora Pearson, Mr. and Mrs. Admirel Cromer, Frank
Tutt and Cecil Cromer, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Cunningham, of Lewisville, Fitzhugh
Penyon and Glenn Perry, Manard Ford and Connie Hardcastle, Allen Good, Willette
Fancher, Eulys Bishop and Elsie Whitlock, Leland Perry and Fern Humphery, of
Fort Worth, Alvin Aly, Paul Hardcastle,
Homer Whitlock,
Burnette Perry, Clint
Vinson, Willie Smith, Neal Smith and Sidney Noel.
The boys and their sweethearts and friends also want to thank Mr. Davis for the
two cases of soda water he gave the boys. Some of it was real old country red
too. And last but for from least, the boys and guests desire to thank Mrs.
Smith and miss Annie Perry. One of the guests says "We only hope that someone
else will be as kind," and the general hint is dropped that Christmas is coming,
and with it hungry times, and more games.
