Lincoln School Teachers Entertain
Watertown Gazette, 02 25 1910
Last Monday evening the teachers of Lincoln School entertained the teachers of the public schools of this city and members of the school board at the new Lincoln School in a very hospitable manner. The entertainment was certainly a very cordial housewarming, and all present enjoyed themselves thoroughly; being the eve of Washington’s birthday, the school was decorated very prettily in honor of the event, the national colors predominating.
The upper hallway was converted into a reception room, and the teachers of the school here graciously received their guests, after which they were ushered to the vacant room in the southwest corner of the upper story, which was fitted out in gorgeous decorations, and settees, easy chairs and tables gave it a very home-like appearance, and for an hour or more the teachers and school board whiled the time away pleasantly in social converse.
At 10:30 o’clock, Miss Mamie Stacy, presiding at the piano, struck up the grand march and two by two those present formed in line and marched to the domestic science room in the basement which was arranged for dining purposes. Here each one was obliged to find his own place at the table, by scanning the favors placed at the settings, each favor having the name of a guest written thereon. The favors consisted of paper hatchets decorated with red. white and blue ribbon.
The menu was excellently prepared, and was as follows:
Ham Sandwiches
Peanut Sandwiches
Potato Chips
Olives
Salted Almonds
Fruit Salad
Wafers
Coffee
Ice Cream
Cake
The luncheon was served in three courses by the Misses Hildegarte Zeitler, Ida Maas, Ella Wolf, Mathilda Griesbach, Leona Gest, Gladys Evans, Laura Riebe, Verna Glaser, Doris Schultze, Mary Wallace and Meta Huebner. While seated at the tables after luncheon the guests indulged in a guessing contest, and it being difficult to solve who were entitled to the prizes, counting down was resorted to, and Miss Marie Killian and Mrs. Chas Frey proved the winners, the former being given a picture of George Washington and the latter one of Abraham Lincoln.
Supt W. P. Roseman then thanked the teachers of Lincoln School on behalf of their guests for the delightful entertainment furnished and wished them all kinds of happiness in their new school. All then ascended to the second story of the building, where an hour was passed in music, dancing and social chat, Miss Mamie Stacy presiding at the piano during the terpsichorian part of the program.
Those present were: Messrs and Mesdames W. P. Roseman, B. E. McCormick, J. W. Martindill, J. W. Moore, C. E. Frey, F. B. Weber, C. R. Feld, Messrs. W. F. Voss, L. W. Wright, John Stuckert, Irving Kichner; Misses Marie Killian, Lillian Pomeroy, Margaret Donovan, Edna Voss, Louise Jaeger, Sophie Koehler, Anna Goecke, Matie Moran, Ida Barganz, Catherine Ryan, Mary Weise, Teckla Krebs, Alina Kirchoff, Anna Youngquist, Myrtle Huber, Lillian Habhegger, Mary Crangle, Ella Sipp, Leona Steinmann, Catherine Brasky, Emma Wittchow, Mamie Stacy, Anna Holland, Olive Gesley.
