Panel Man Provides Good Hoo Hoo Entertainment
Mr. Harry V. I{anson, of the California Panel & Veneer Company, Los Angeles, was chairman at the Hoo Hoo lucheon on Thursday, June 5th.
Harry had s,ent out notices saying that this would be a good meeting providing a bunch of laughs, and he made good. Mr. LeRoy Dawson, a disabled veteran of the World War, and now a law student at IJ. S. C., gave the boys an address on his experiences during the conflict, and put so much humor into the telling that he had them laughing most of the time, even when he was telling of the drive that participated in, and which resulted in his losing an eye and his left leg. Mr. Dawson was a Corporal, saw considerable s,ervice until he was struck by a shell at Chateau Thierry, and is a splendid example of -what a man can do with pluck and determination in doing a "come back." In spite of his terrible handicaps, this man has about finished his law course at the lJniversity, has regained his health, and is on his way to independence.
Parson Simpkin was present at this meeting, and made a short talk to the members, on the Concat, held on June 7th.
It was a splendid meeting, and unfortunate that the attendance was so small.
