Five Caddo Lions Honored
Five charter members of the Caddo Lions Club were honored here Tuesday night when J.A. Richardson, Ada District Lions governor presented the five honored men 25-year memberships pins.
The five charter members of the club are Henry Bass, Wallace Boone, John L. Boland, W.E. McIntosh, and Jess Maytubby. Governor Richardson praised the men for their faithfulness and long service and told them they were largely responsible for the success of the Caddo Lions club.
Dr. A.E. Shearer, dean of Southeastern State college, gave the charge to new officers of the club who were recently elected. The officers installed by Dr. Shearer are J.N. Broadhead, president; Sam Austin, first vice-president; Doyle B. Sawyer, second vice-president; Jess Maytubby, secretary-treasurer; Dr. R. L. Cochran, lion tamer; Don Portman, tail twister; and John L. Boland, district representative.
The evening dinner was opened with an invocation by Rev. J. B. Kirk. Rev. Charles Puckett and Mrs. Jess Maytubby were presented in solos, and readings were given by Mrs. R. Cochran and Mrs. John Poyner. Mrs. Henry Bass gave a piano solo.
Following the installation of officers, governor Richardson presented the 25-year pins to charter members and delivered the principle address.
Approximately 50 members and guests were served the dinner prepared by the women of the First Methodist church.
