During the brief business ses-
sion Mrs Joe Mohair, presiding
m the absence of Mrs J H
Baugh, reminded the club of the

The hymn of the month sung
was, 'Christ the Lord is Risen.”
Mr* Harold Luckey was leader
for the program on Music in the
Forties. It was brought out that
America's entry into the war
brought forth vastly different
music from that of the earlier
years of the blues, ragtime and
jazz. It was the solid beginning of
great and serious music, and the
American orchestras developed
and attained new heights of per-
fection. It was the era of great
oallet and opera Music for sound
films, operetta and musical come-
dy was reflecting the great'
; change in America during the I
: war year.-,
j Numbers woven into the pro-
grarn S iturdav reflected much of
ithe type of that period. These1
' were, “Some Enchar' ■* F ning”,
recording, Ezio Pin/ . Mrs. C B
Loverly?" from My Fair Lady,
Mrs Grusendorf. Piano, ‘‘Night
and Day," Cole Porter, Mrs.
Franklin. “Oklahoma” and ‘‘What
a Beautiful Morning,” club

nations
Mrs Moh>ir poured at the col-
fee service and angel-food cuke

bo*sed mints of miniature Easter-
egg design were served.
