More On The Catholic Club

One time we invited the Doylestown club to our hall and entertained them with a one act play. I played the part of a condemned convict, and what I remember most was a very emotional scene with my sister, played by Catherine O'Neill, another club member. Catherine was a very attractive girl and it was quite a thrill to be kissing and embracing her. I often wondered later why I did not try to get to know her better.
Of course I knew that I couldn't become too familiar with any girl. I was just a poor farmer with no money and no prospects of ever making a good living at it. I suppose I always thought in the back of my mind tat I would some day marry and raise a family but that was in some vague future time and I gave it very little thought.
The club also had other activities. A yearly banquet, doggie roast or picnic. I became the secretary in charge of keeping records and the minutes of each meeting. Most of the time, in the president's absence, I would act as chairman.
