What busy people we have In rank possible, was another

Sharpstown these days. Remem-
ber, way back when . . . when
all the children were little and
you thought graduations were
something you’d think about a
few years hence. WELL, HENCE
is with us, and everywhere we
turn, we hear about the busy
activities of girls and boys grad,
uating . . . from Sutton . . from
Jane Long . . . from Bellaire
High School. Where does the
time go?
And with the end of school
nearly with us and summer up-
on us, there’s vacation time to
look forward to . . . trips to in-
teresting places, to visit rela-
tives perhaps . . ■ and bow many
mothers are already trying ta
think up new answers to the age
old summertime question, “what
can we do now?’’
Vacation schools. Of course,
many of the Sharpstown church-
es will get their Summer Church
Schools underway immediately
to help keep the children occu-
pied as well as be an educational
and a spiritual guide for the
lazy summer months ahead. At
St. Martin’s Lutheran Church,
Vacation School will be held
from June 11 until June 22 for
children ages two through Sen-
ior High School, Ladies of the
parish have volunteered to as-
sist with the program and are
already attending training ses-
sions under the direction of the
School Director, Mrs. Geyers,
and Parish Worker Miss Barbara
Deal
This last Sunday, St. Martin’s
held their Congregational Picmc
at Memorial Park, with each
family bringing its own Picnic
Supper and joining in the games
and recreations planned by the
Intermediate Sund ay School
On the week, end of June 2 and
*, many St. Martin’s families
will travel to Lutherhiil, the
Lutheran Summer Camp, for a
short but wonderful visit away
from home
THE GREAT OUTDOORS —
Seems as though everyone is
making the most of the wonder,
ful weather, and enjoying the
great outdoors as much as pos-
sible before the heat chases us
back into closed up air condi-
tioned homes. The Lydia Class
of The Sharpstown Baptist
Church is having a Weiner Roast
Friday night at the park behind
Fun Stadium for members of the
class and their hubbies.
daughter of the Shingle’s, Nan-
cy. Nancy’s special project was
a series of posters, illustrating
the various phases of Baptist
Work.
The Girl’s Auxiliary of the
Baptist Church is open to girls
from 9 through 15. As they study
and learn more about the Bap-
tist faith and complete special
project connected with that
study, they move up through the
various degrees of the organiza-
tion, starting with Maidens, then
Ladies-in - Waiting, Princess.
Queen, Queen with a Scepter
and then Queen Regent.
SINCERE SYMPATHY - Our
deepest sympathy goes out to the
Charles Klohn family and to
the Archie Smith family of
Sharpstown. Mr. Klohn's mother
was killed in an automobile ac.
cident in Del. while on vacation
with three other women from
her home town of Sandusky,
Ohio. All four of the women were
killed. The Klohn children. Jana
8 and John 4, stayed with friends
in Sharpstown while their par-
ents flew to Ohio for the sad oc-
casion.
Mr. Smith’s father passed a-
way this past Sunday at his home
in Bert Wheeler, Texas, a small
town near Tyler. Phyllis and
Archie took six year old Wendy
with them for a speedy trip to
East Texas.

lation, TUI and Toil members

the home of Mrs.. Abe Abdalla.
6601 Rowan Lane, for dessert and
coffee.
Outgoing President Nell Sor-
rells reports that there are a
few openings in the limited
membership of the club, and any
ladies interested in the Till and
Toil Garden Club can call her
at GY 4-4833 The new year’s
club meeting will resume in
September.

day of visiting with the folks

WHILE THE PASTOR’S A-
g/LY—While the Rev. Latham
ras away over the week end,
harpstown Baptist Church
lembers were fortunate to hear
>r. H. D. Bruce, acting execu-
te officer for the Houston Bap-
ist College. For many years Dr.
truce was president of East
’exas Baptist College at Mar-
hall. Now, that the ground
ireaking for the new college has
aken place, the area off Fond-
en Road, Beechnut and the
’reeway should be buzzing with
ctivity, getting the initial build-
ngs under way.
GIRL'S AUXILIARY — Con-
rafeulations are in order (or I
lould say were in order a week
go) to the young ladies of the
harpstown Baptist Girls Aux-
iary, who through hard work,
edication and study have been
levated to Queen and Queen-
ith-a-Scepter. The Coronation

WORD FROM THE VACA-
TIONERS—Nell Sorrells reports
that she had a letter from Char-
lene Kezele, who is having a
wonderful get away from it all
month in Dallas, while her hus-
band finishes an auditing job
there. Charlene wrote that they
are having a grand time, enjoy-
ing the hotel swimming pool and
visiting around big D. But her
greatest surprise came about
when she heard someone call her
name as she and Jim were driv-
ing along a Dallas street. There
were their former oext door
neighbors on Triola Lane, Edith
and Jim Elkins, who are now
living in Dallas with their two
daughters, Cindy and Patty.
WELCOME HOME—Epiphany
teenagers and friends got toge-
ther, 18 strong, at the home of
Cecilia Henry last Saturday night
for a garage dance in honor of
John Stockburger. John, a for-
mer member of Epiphany is
home on thirty days leave from
the Navy. In the Navy about a
year, this is John’s first trip
home from his station in Cali-
fornia, and it’s a good thing too,
because his next station is sup-
posed to be Hong Kong.
INSTALLATION OF OFFIC-
ERS FOR TILL AND TOIL —
Last night members of the Till
and Toil Garden Club of Sharps-
town gathered at the Safari at
7 p.m. for dinner and for the
installation of the officers, who
were elected last January. Out-
going officers, each of whom will
make a . flower arrangement to
be presented to the lady taking
her place, are: president, Mrs.
W. B. Sorrells, first vice presi-
dent, Mrs. John C. Sorenson, se-
cond vice president Mrs. Stephen
Wood, recording secretary Mrs.
Archie Smith, corresponding sec-
retary, Mrs. C. A. Sugarek, trea-
surer, Mrs. Abraham Abdalla,
historian and librarian, Mrs. K.
J. Harshfield. and delegate at
large to the Federation of Gar-
den Clubs, Mrs. Sorenson. All
of these ladies can look back
now on a job well done, but
breathe a great big sigh of re-
lief as they hand over the duties
to a new team of gardening en
thusiasts.
That is, of course, except for
Mrs. Archie Smith, who will be
taking on greater duties as the
incoming president and Mrs.
Kenneth Harshfield. who will be
recording secretary for the com
