Dwight Ives of Northampton Street, Elmwood, a member of one of the early settler families of Holyoke and a very actively prominent member of the First Baptist Church entertained the choir of the church Wednesday night at a banquet and reception and was ably assisted on this occasion by his sister, Miss Ellen Ives. It was held in the church rooms which were decorated for the occasion, the banquet being served by Herbert Baldwin. A short musical program was given after the banquet. Beside the members of the choir with Norman Dash, director and Miss Marjorie Shaw, organist, there were several invited guests and these included Rev. Mr. Darrow, pastor of the church, Mrs. Darrow, her mother Mrs. Green, and Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Chase. Mr. Chase had been director for a number of years, giving his services, and Mrs. Chase had also assisted on many occasions, although she has seen the contralto soloists of the Wakelin choir of the First Congregational church for a number of years. The affair was a surprise to the guests and was a token of the appreciation of the musical services the present choir had rendered the church during the past year.
The Kindergarten Club of Holyoke met at the Kirtland school a recent afternoon at a party of which the honor guest was Miss Marion Marshall, who has been for the past two years in kindergarten work at the Elm Street school, and whose marriage to Ralph Cook of Lincoln Street is to take place the 28th. During the social hour refreshments were served and the club presented her with a valuable gift.
