As 1988 rolls to a close, I hope
everyone had a nice Christmas and
a wonderful year. Alvie and
Christine Jones celebrated their
family Christmas one week early
with ALL their family (14 gran-
dchildren/ with them for a country
Christmas. The out-of-town family
members included James and
Joanna and their two daughters,
uonaid and Heien and their
daughter and Alvie Jr. and his son,
Alvie. Ill The Alto families consist
of Clifford and Ann and their
children, Matthew and Tiffany,
Norman and Debbie and daughters
Jennifer and Meghan, Mark and
Kerri whose daughters, Julie and
Kristi were the stars of the Christ-
mas cantata at the First Baptist
Church LJttle Kristi had so many
lines to learn and she certainly
touched the hearts of her audience
with her little lamb, Mutton Bobby
and Gina Jones’ children were also
in the cantata, Travis, Jodi and
Jamie Little Trey was in the
audience with his proud gran-
dmother, Christine along with
Meghan Jones. Her sister, Jennifer
was also in the performance There
would have been lots of blank
places in the cantata without the
Jones' children!
A couple of weeks ago Thelma
and Bill Neal Shattuck celebrated
their 41st wedding anniversary in a
rather unique way They, and two
other couples met in Waxahachie at
the beautiful, historic Durham
House for a marvelous dinner and
an overnight stay. If you have ever
travelled and stayed at Bed and
Breakfast Inns in America, you
know what a treat they are I have
enjoyed B and Bs as they are called,
from Key West to Cape Cod to San
Francisco and Carmel. They are
charming, so I know what a lovely
time the Shattucks and their friends
had, at the Durham House From
there they went to Dallas and spent
the night with daughter Katie
In a couple of days we will mark
the end of this year and the
welcoming in of 1989. I have asked
some folks to tell us of any New
Year's resolutions they will make,
or special wishes they might have
and here they are.
Thelma Shattuck hopes to be
more active in doing things for
other people as their needs arise,
she wants to spend more time
reading and in growing spiritually
Coach Jay Witt has a sister in the
hospital in Dallas and his wish is for
her full recovery. His second wish
would be for the Alto Yellow jackets
to go to State next year!
Alto HS Senior, Chris Wainwright
hopes to be a better Christian and to
be “the best uncle I can be." Fifth
grader, David Kessinger would like
to lose some weight and to be a bet-
ter student, i David is getting to be a
serious kid!) On the other hand,
Bill Neal Shattuck promises not to
w'rassle alligators anymore! That’s

Then she showed a crocheted
“Ice Skater” about 24 inches tall.
Under her red hat you observed her
pink straight hair. She wore pink
leggings and pink mittens. Upon
her shoes were ice skates. She wore
a short flounce skirt over red tight
pants, and she had a red Lcarf
around ner neck. It was a loveable

Afghan of many colors which was to

Doris Hartman showed a blue and
red sweatshirt decorated in front
with large flowers cut from

in coordinating colors. This is a new
decoration on sweat shirts Then
she gave a very interesting demon-
stration.
Doris showed the miniature
Christmas sock for DAR members

mas sock will hold mints. These
socks will be placed upon the dinner
tray on Christmas Day. Volunteer
members of DAR are making 25

The group stopped work at 11:30,
held hands as the hostess gave the
prayer of “thanks.”
After enjoying the covered dish
dinner. Doris name was drawn by
Margie Tarrant for the door prize
and she was given a pint of
homemade peach jelly.
The women continued these
various kinds of handwork:

dieting pink Afghan, crocheting In-
dian Afghan with fringe on each end
made in single broehet going only

The 3W‘s decided to bring a small
handmade item, Christmas wrap-
ped with name inside, to draw for
the Christmas meeting December
13th at Guynell’s.
Study Club has covered dish lunch
The Thursday Study Club met
Tuesday, Nov. 22 with Guynell
Kennedy for a 12 o'clock assigned
covered dish Thanksgiving dinner
In the dining room the brown felt
table cloth had or. each end and
each side the traditional appliqued
turkey and horn of plenty over-
flowing with fruits and vegetables
decorated with sequins and beads.
Verline Danheim gave the
Thanksgiving prayer
In the dining room at each place
was a colored Key Holder made in
needlepoint for the wrist. Each
member selected her choice of
colored key holder and on the ring
inside was the name for exchanging
gifts at the Christmas party
After enjoying the good food, the
traditional chiffon pumpkin pie en-
ded the meal
At the previous meeting at
Evelyn Rogers, Verline asked for
ten \olunteers to play a game at the
Thanksgiving dinner She num-
bered each one from one to ten
telling each one to remember her
number.
The ladies at the two tables
gathered together for the game.
Verline gave each of the ten players
a sheet of paper and a pencil telling
each one to write her number on the
paper.
As a retired school teacher she
was the teacher once again, saying
“I will give directions and then
repeat, you do exactly what I tell
you to do with no talking." She con-
tinued, “Multiply your number by
2, then add 10 to your answer, now
divide your answer by 2. and sub-
tract your original number from the
total To the amazement of the
and followed the same directions
and each answer was 5. Try it with
any number and the answer will
always lie 5.
Then Sally Mertz and Thelma
Shattuck had a game of four ladies
lifting a seated woman with only
their index fingers It was fun. You
will have to ask them the procedure
because it really work*
