LETS GO BACK TO 1941

1941 REHOBOTH COTILLION

Many who make Rehoboth Beach their summer home seem eager to return for the mid winter

festivities. Such as the cotillion dance at the fire hall all decorated with greenery and ballons with a

carnival touch.

There was Ann Fulton down from Park Avenue in black velvet, Jane Hardesty of Dover in

pastel net and our local lass, Kitty Toppin with Danny Conant. From Brandywine Hills were the J. Edward Schells, and, the Henry Winchesters with daughter Jane.

Jack McManus, club president, entertain a few between the halves, and, ran out of sandwiches.

However, everyone including Mag and Earl Poole, Covington and Sal Townsend, reported heaps of

fun.

The Wilbur S. Corkrans, were host to a few friends at the 17^th century “Homestead”. Nancy

McCabe had Mary Emma Ryan, Sunray Farms, Newark, Ginnie Vinton, of St. Georges for the

“hop”. Doris and Carlton Moore joined a group of friends to greet the New Year. Bob Hinkley, and his sister, Mrs McCeny Werlich, from Washington were around also.

In Washington's North West Wardman Park, the Wallace Chiswell's, had a really nice party at their far away home in mid December. .

Major and Mrs Dick Bond were down from Wilmington and among the two hundred other

guest were those of the summer colony, Major Kemp Slaughter, Gladys Hinkley Werlich, the

John Lewis Smiths, Judge and Mrs. Swing, the Brides, the Darbys and the the Lloyd's.
