Sputnik Headdresses Win
Prizes at League Dance
The influence of recent ev
ents was evident at the annual
formal ball of Medford Junior
Service league Friday night at
Rogue Valley Country club. Wo
men traditionally wear fancy
headdresses to the ball, both
Ghe first prize and one of the
honoirgble mention winners
were in the Sputnik theme.
Mrs. John Raapke's headdress
was judged best. She wore a
around whicn a mue saieune
circulated when she pressed a
switch carried in her hand, and
the contraption gave off a steady
beep-beep-beep sound. The head
gear was designed and made
by her husband. Last year he
had made a ski scene for Mrs.
Raapke which caused much
comment.
The headdress which Mrs. T.
W. McFadden wore was a small
metal globe of the world around
which circulated a little lighted
satellite. This also had been
made by the wearer's husband.
Also winning honorable men
tion was the headdress worn
by Mrs. David Fortmiller, Ash
land. It was a tall silver frame
q heavily ornamented with large
red Christmas balls which
matched her red gown.
League members and their
guests generally agreed that this
year's headdresses surpassed
those of past years both in in
genuity and beauty. Miss Joyce
Bearden, who will be married
soon to Dom Provost Jr., of
Ashland, wore a three-tier wed
ding cake on her head. It had
been made from cardboard and
decorated by her father, Percy
Bearden. Her evening gown was
also red.
Mrs. J. D. McCann wore a
large gold colored Christmas
bell on her head, topped with
a red ribbon bow which match
ed her red gown.
Mrs. Richard Schwahn's head
dress was a snow man which
accented her blue lace evening
frock and Mrs. W. F. Cowning
also wore a large globe head
dress, but she had decorated
hers with Christmas glitter,
stars and a design which indi
cated its theme "Around the
World in Eighty Days."
Mrs. Jack Worthington wore
a wide hatotopped by a little
Christmas tree and a music box
which played "Silent Night."
Mrs. Carl Wimberley's head
dress was the face of a clock and
the slogan encircling it read
"Party Time." The black and
white clock matched her black
black and white checked eve-

ning gown.
The league president, Mrs. C.
H. Buffington, wore a headdress
of holly, and Mrs. J. P. Rowan's
headdress was a holly wreath
with a bird nest tucked among
the leaves.
Mrs. N. J. Wilson wore a tiny
little fir Christmas tree elabor
ately decorated.
If Mrs. Ray L. Casterline had
not been a league member, her
headdress would doubtless have
won a prize. The base was a
large square of plastice foam
which held a tiny living room
scene with fireplace, mother
and father, baby bed and other
ornaments. The center, or
crown, of the headdress was a
swirl of pink angel hair denot
ing heaven on which were plac
ed five tiny baby figurines, a
miniature stork and a little
Sputnik. On the base, opposite
to the living room scene, was
placed a miniature baby chair
with a sign which read "Wei
come, 1958." This cleaver crea
tion, the work of Mrs. John
Clarke, baby-sitter for Dr. and
Mrs. Casterline and their, five
children, was a pictorial an
nouncement that the family ex
pects the sixth child soon.
The wife of another Medford
physician, Mrs. Malcolm Byers,
also wore a family headdress
This one held a figurine repre
senting Dr. Byers, three little
angel figurines representing
their three daughters and two
little sprites indicating their
two sons.
About 250 attended the din-
with a cocktail hour. Mrs. Jack
Ingram was general chairman,
and Mrs. M. D. McGeary was
chairman of the headdress con
test.
