Perhaps you're appointed chairman of the social committee of your
young people's church society of or some club. Or maybe you want to
entertain for a friend who is visiting you so that she may meet
your circle of friends. Anyway it's up to you to plan an evening's
amusement for a big crowd of people. If it's a mixed crowd--young and
old and in-between (as church socials often are)--you need one kind
of plan; if it's a bunch of young folks, or a school class party, or
something for the children, you need other plans.
But the secret of all good times for big crowds is to choose
entertainment that draws the individuals together in some kind of
comradeship, gives them all something in common, and puts them on a
friendly footing.
