For four years she was the untiring State president, then Mrs. Frank Stranahan served in 1917, Miss Safford again in 1918.
The exercises proceeded without delay in an orderly manner, and were appropriate and impressive throughout. Music was furnished during the ceremonies by the bands of the Seventh and Twenty-third regiments. The Hon. James S.T.
