==========================================

In 1920 or 1921, Mrs. Andrew Williams organized a class of girls from the Sunday School and a notice of the event appeared in The Calais Advertiser as follows:

FRIENDLY HELPERS' CLUB ORGANIZED AT WAITE

"The junior class of nine girls met at the home of their teacher, Mrs. Andrew Williams, Thursday for the purpose of forming an organized class. The following officers were elected; Mrs. Andrew Williams, moderator; Madeline Williams, president; Phyllis Tupper, secretary; Irene Metcalf, assistant secretary; Evie Metcalf, treasurer; Georgia McLain, Dora McLain, Irene Metcalf, lookout committee; Phyllis Tupper (Chairman); Madeline Williams, Lulu Jones, Freda Jones, Marion Kellogg, Irene Metcalf and Evie Metcalf, social committee.

The class will be known by the name chosen by its members, FRIENDLY HELPERS. The proceeds of the class this summer will go towards buying new lights for the church. At the close of the meeting the class composed the following poem:

The Friendly Helpers Organization

Mrs. Eva Williams our teacher was she,
And invited her Sunday school class out to tea.
We pupils delayed, did not show up in time,
But came after supper with spirits quite fine.

First on the program was the business part.
And we all joined in with glad hand and heart.
We elected first a good secretary.
We put her in, although she was contrary!

Miss Phyllis Tupper this office did fill,
And she'll enter her work with a royal good will.
Next on the list the president came,
Now to her we can lay all our blame.

Madeline Williams fills the office above
And she'll enter her work with good cheer and love.
The vice president next, the fattest and fairest,
Will be to our president a very good ballast.

Miss Marion Kellogg this description fits,
And was given this office on account of her wits.
Our assistant secretary came next on the roll,
Who will try very hard to reach the best goal.

This girl of honor is Irene Metcalf
And she'll do good work in our behalf.
Our treasurer, of course, an honest person must be,
And we've chosen the right one as you'll soon see,

For Evie Metcalf is our treasurer bold
Who, of course, will take good care of our gold.
The look-out committee all have sharp eyes
And they'll look for new members just like spies.

These are Georgia and Dora, both surnames McLain,
Who'll be aided by Madeline and Irene, whose work will not be in vain.
The social committee, a very important one,
Are the ones we look to to furnish the fun,

The members are many and of different size,
And are not only witty, but jolly and wise.
Freda and Lu Jones, on this committee will serve,
Because it needs someone that's got lots of nerve.

They will be aided by Madeline, Marion, Evie, Phyllis, Irene,
And the results of their work remains to be seen.
This ended the election of the officers bright,
And we hope and pray that our work may be done right.

Our name, very characteristic of the members few,
Is FRIENDLY HELPERS, we think it just right, don't you?
We enjoyed ourselves at our dear teacher's home,
And we hope when in need she will ne'er be alone,

For the Friendly Helpers are her pupils dear,
And we hope when she needs us we can all answer, "here"!
She served us with fudge and we played many games,
And now we have crowned her the queen of all dames.

This poem seems far from our class' calling,
But just mention Sunday School work, and you'll find our courage unfailing.
For we trust in God to help us to win,
And all our good work will be aided by Him.

For we are His children and He is our guide,
And when we do wrong He never will chide.
Now with the help of our teacher we hope to prove true,
To our class and our name and also to you."
