10 c MANOR-ISMS SUNDAY. APRIL 29. 1362 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Remember me? state association. Miss Ireland Our vacation was a real helped to organize the West morale buildc- sunshine all "n,8CC,lin and whilc prcsi" ,, , dent of the section, was ln the time! We hit exactly the . . . strumental in inspiring and promoting l.e preparation and pulbication of a guide book for "Music Education in the Elementary School." She also served as music super visor of schools in several California cities. All this is yet additional proof of n y some-time-Bgo statement that talent among our Manor mem bers is constantly boiling to the surface. Many in Medford know and remember I. P. (Bing) and Louise Bccslcy. They lived in Medford several years ago when Mr. Beesley was active in Boy Scout work in the val ley. They returned about two years ago to help gc the Rogue Manor opc . and oper ating. At this work they were so successful and endeared themselves to all the members so completely that our hearts were heavy at the Auf Wied crsehen party for them. Even our large auditorium couldn't hold the members. staff, and trustees, headed by our President and Mrs. M. N. Hogan, gathered to say "good bye." This party was like the famous "sweet-sour" foods prepared by the Pennsylvania Dutch - we were both gay and sad. Two of our talented members, Mrs. Norvell and Mr. Jenny, both from New York wr le and read poems to them; and scrolls, plaques and autographed books were presented to tiiem. They prom ise to write us when they are settled as administrators of some similar retirement resi dence, SOMEWHERE, and the way we all travel about, we'll surely be dropping in to see them. I found the following in "Hill-Top -Ics," the Manor house organ, this past week: "Finding that she had forgot ten the key to her apartment, a nan member was heard to say- There are three proofs of getting old. One is that you become forgetful - and I've forgotten the other two.' " right time in the right year (su much rain this past winter) to see the most gorgeous dis play. of desert wild flowers ever. Returning we met hun dreds of cars - bumper to bumper - rushing out of Los Angeles and the Central Val- lev to view the miles and miles of sand literally car peted with purple, pink, yel- low and white. Also, crossing the Trinity Alps from Red ding, the red bud, snow ber ries and dogwood, with s background of at least 6 dif ferent shades of green, were a sight long to be remembered However, we are glad to set back. Rogue Valley Man or welcomes its own and it is a good place to "come back to." We found that the Mark Coldys, Medford, the Ted Coatcs, Grants Pass, and the Hiram Salisburys, La Jolla, had checked in from faraway points just ahead of us. Many others had, and were, taking off. If we miss anyone for a meal or two, we find they have headed out for the Ori ent or Alaska or, anyway, Yachats. .We returned just in time for another good concert brought to us by the Medford Senior High school choir. We truly appreciate the musical treats, these valley young folks bring us; we're begin ning to know and greet them as individuals, and we hope they come often. We were also in time to hear an inspiring program of sacred music during Holy Week, arranged and present ed by our own concert pianist, Mrs. Vivian Giles, Oakland, with another Manor member, Miss Edna Stanbrough, Cam den, S.C., playing the organ. Both these musicians were trained at the New England Conservatory of Music, Bos ton, at' the same time. Miss Stanbrough , graduated as a fine violinist and devoted her life to that instrument until forced to give it up because of a shoulder injury. She now plays the piano and organ beautifully - entirely by ear. In this concert, our own mem bers were joined by Mrs. A. B. BartlcU, SOC, on the vi olin. Also, Mrs. Gregory Mac Dougall and Larry Hobson, both of Medford, sang solos and ducts, accompanied by Mrs. Charles Adamson, Med ford. In addition to an after noon of beautiful music, this program was gratifying as yet another instance of co operation and enjoyable ming ling of our members and our valley friends. More and more, all are realizing that the Manor is definitely a per manent part of the valley community and activities. Miss Mary Ireland, a Man or member from Sacramento, has recently provided a spot light of professional musical distinction in which all of us are basking and preening. In Fresno, Miss Ireland received the Manclni award at a ban quet of the California Music association. This award is given for outstanding and un usual service to the cause of music education in California - and this is the first time it ever has been given to a woman.
