The Old Chums Is an organization that was effected by a group of about two score young people who attend¬ ed school and church together and who frequently gathered at parties and outii-.gs in the early 80's. Most of tiies? left their native vlUage to live elsewhere. Alway,s happy to meet each other, in 1905, a group gathered to greet one of their num¬ ber from Indiana who had come East to visit the home folks. The Idea was expressed to meet annually. Although th(jse Invited numbered less than flfty. the attendance at the flrst outing reached the hundred mark, and, to satisfy those who merely came to .see, It was decided to enlarge the circle to include aU past and pre.sent residents, and for moi-e than a quarter of a century from sU to sixteen hundred have attended annuaUy on the second Sunday ta August. Usually hundreds of others came to meet friends among the Old Chums.
The outing time Is always on the second Sunday of August, but the place Is selected   annually    by th*
offlcers.
