Christmas Party
Occasionally during the year
the members of the Vernonia
Study club forget for a time
anything of a serious nature and
just have fun. One of these oc­
casions is the annual Christmas
party.
This year the party was held
on December 21st at the home
of Mrs. Sam Hearing, Jr., on B
street. There a beautifully dec­
orated tree with gifts piled high
at its base was the center of
attraction. Games and contests
provided entertainment and small
prizes were won by several mem­
bers. A highlight of the evening
was the carrolling by the high
school glee club under the direc­
tion of Mrs. Robert Martin.
Later carols were sung by the
club members and gifts were dis­
tributed.
Refreshments
were
served by the hostess assisted by
Mrs. Marvin Kamholz, Mrs. Paul
Gordon and Mrs. Harry Culbert­
son.
The next meeting will be on
January 4th at the home of Mrs.
Judd Greenman. This will be the
annual birthday meeting and sup­
per will be served at seven.
