Secretaries Give
Cowgirl Reunion
Party at Hotel
Costumed in blue jeans, cowboy
boots, ten-gallon hats, and square
dance dresses, members and
guests of the Abilene Secretaries
Association were feted with a "Cow-
girl Reunion" dinner party in the
Garden Room of the Windsor Ho-
tel. Mrs. E. W. Curtis, Martha
Hannig and Eudera Goldsmith
were hosts.
The T-shaped dining table, dec-
orated with miniature oil derricks,
tiny bales of cotton, toy cattle
and cactus, and real cowboy boots
filled with corn flowers, emphas-
ized the western theme. Center-
piece was a miniature corral scene
featuring cowboys, cowgirls and
bucking broncos.
Mrs. Curtis welcomed visitors
and three new members, Mrs. Lloyd
Jones, Mrs. Curtis Hays and Jes-
sie Dennis. Invocation, "A Cow-
girl’s Prayer”, was by Mrs. Ralph
Fly. “Western Hits", two western
sings, were given by Mildred
Downing and Martha Ann Snow,
high school music students. "Tex-
as Talk”, a history of Texas and
its achievements, was presented in
detail by Alice Hickey, a former
member. “Round-Up Time", a re-
view of the year’s work, was by
Eudera Goldsmith and "Branding
the Mavericks’, initiation of new
members, was conducted by Mo-
della Trimble. In closing, Martha
Hannig discussed the club project
the proceeds of which will go to
Boys’ Ranch.
Others present were Oneita Trim-
ble, Messrs. Opal Childress, Bruse
DuBose, Jack Flynn and the fol-
lowing visitors: Claudia Howell,
Eileen Tate, Mrs. Robert Bassetti,
and Mrs. Weldon O. Newberry, of

The sun casts a shadow wher-
ever it shines in the United States
since at no place does it shine
from directly overhead.

Hears Mrs. Wolfe;
Views Movie Film
The 32 Wednesday Club met at
the West Texas Utilities Co. for
the purpose of seeing a film, “The
Life of Stephen." 1
Mrs. Virgil Wolfe, in charge of
the program, spoke on “Phases of
Outstanding Faiths.” Of Hinduism
in India, she said there were 33,000
castes today. It is believed to be
candelabra. A fan-shaped arranger James Babb and Theiss L Jones,

For those old enough to remem-
ber the Gay Nineties, the setting
for Saturday night’s concert given
by the SPEBSQSA (Society for the
Preservation and Encouragement
of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in
America) will bring a touch of
nostalgia; for others there will be
a vicarious thrill.
Stage settings for the third "Pa-
rade of Quartets” are by Milton
McKenzie who is transforming the
stage of the Abilene High School
into a typical ‘90‘s street scene
complete with barber shop, hotel
and livery stable. No barber shop
quartet could survive an evening
without that “gal friend” of all
makes mighty good listening. The
local chapter of the national or-
ganization has prepared a very re-
presentative program for Saturday
night’s concert. For most peo-
ple who will attend hundreds of
memories will be interwoven with
the music; and for the very young,
memories will be in the making
for the songs on the “Parade” will
live as long as people sing.
quartets, “Sweet Adeline," and she
will be there to start the evening
off. -
Other "girls” long famed and
loved by singers in and out of
quartets will be included on the
program. There will be "Molly
Malone", “Oh, Suzanna" and per-
haps some surprise or requested
ones.
Other universal favorites to be
sung will include: “Bicycle Built
For Two", "While Strolling In The
Park One Day”, ‘Camp Town Rac-
es,” “Hard Times,” “Weep No
More, My Lady,” "Ain’t That A
Shame," "Now That Day Is Done,”
"Beautiful Dreamer."
Gay Ninety "ladies" will not only
be sung about; there will be more
than a fair sampling at the con-
cert, for members of Theta Sigma
chapter of Beta Sigma Phi are to
be ushers. They will wear gowns
like these worn in the ‘90‘s that
they have made themselves for this
concert.
Proceeds from the concert are
to be given Boys Ranch, Guy Shaw,
SPEBSQSA president, said.
The sorority ushering for the
concert which is to begin at 8
o’clock Saturday evening is also
interested in Boys Ranch. They
have contributed $150 to the ranch
as an initial contribution and are
giving $10 each month toward its
support.
