The Fisk Tire Company's Social and Athletic Association events and happenings for the week of May 9, 1919.

Description

A four page newspaper describing the events related to the social groups and athletic clubs of the Fisk Tire Company for the week of May 9, 1919. It was Bike Tire and Sundry night at The Broadway and Fisk employees were treated to a night of home movies and revelry. Other page one stories include the upcoming events at the opening of Park Night. The "eats" are ready and Chauncey Allen, of the tennis club, is ready for action. Also, the Rockrimmon Boat Club will be opening a branch with the Fisk Plant and there is a need for rowers to crew a boat and fans to cheer them on. A photograph of six of the Liberty Loan helmet winners is on the bottom of the page. Pictured in the photograph is, from left to right, H.C. Stoutenburg, Nick Jilles, Agnes Sweeney, L. Gemme, Al Strong and Aleck Karoutjis. Page two consists of employee briefs. Page three highlights "Stunt Night" for the women's swim club at the Y.M.C.A., the Red Tops win over the Dean Tech team and their upcoming game with the Schenks of Meriden, CT. The semi-pro Manager's Association met recently ahead of the upcoming season. And, there is a chicken roast on tap for Sunday. Photographs of Fisker children anchor the page. Page four relates the events of the Mussers trip to Conway for basketball and a luncheon. The game's only mishap was when the town hall stove pipe came down and showered Fiskers Tessie Brady, Cecilia Hilldreth, Kitty Burke and Lena Keough with soot. Also, Fiskers made up most of the Falls' Masquerade Ball, the inter factory league baseball season has started and another safety contest in underway.
