BACHELORS No other club has the advantage of the Bachelors. Who else can spend their meeting time in the kitchen concocting delicious things to eat? This is the main activity of most meetings, but at others we plan menus and get general instructions on the whys and wherefores of cookery. PRESIDENT .................
