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.
The Music Educators Na
tional conference, with head
quarters in Washington, DC.
