MOUNT ZION the “Welsh Baptist Church of Dallas Pa’’. Where that is, or was, I do not know. Along that line of people I visited a Mrs. Fannie Sutton We have had Amarylis blossoms before but not so frequently to make us aware of the extraordinary size and beauty. The one that burst out last week = over night measured eight inches from tip to tip of its gorgeous red petals. One feels like singing a song or writing a poem or doing something out of the line of duty. But mostly one just gasps with no means of expressing the emotion of awe and admiration. How can such a flower be! Karen Hronich was home over the week-end on her be- tween semesters vacation from West Chester Teachers College. Bill Hughes reports that his wife Mae came home from the hospital but continues ill at her home. We finally got our Christmas tree de-trimmed and out. It had scarecely begun shedding and still looked like O Tannen- baum. Valley Crest Through reading the Dallas Post, Mrs. Mona Jones Higgs of Kernbrook Corners noted that I go to Valley Crest and she phoned to ask if I ever saw Miss Edith Marie Hoffman. I told her I did and that Miss Hoffman was a very sweet lady. well along in her nineties but with an awareness of any- thing musical going on. Mrs. Higgs told me that when she was a young girl she took voice lessons from Miss Hoffman for a period of about two years. She was getting arxious to see this former ‘2acher and wondered how it could be arranged inasmuch as she had no car and does not drive. I said I would stop for her on a day I was going up and she could visit her old friend. It was with something of dread that she planned to do this, for she preferred to remember Miss Hoffman as the vibrant and lively person she used to be. Nevertheless she felt she owed it to herself and to this remarkable musician to see her and if possible renew some of the former contacts. When we got to the solarium where Miss Hoffman was sitting with others in the room I asked Mrs. Higgs if she saw anybody she could recognize as her former teacher. But a good many years had gone by and changes had appeared. I went over and stood in front of Miss Hoffman when she was dozing in her chair and began to sing a hymn I knew to be a favorite, ‘“The Spacious Firma- ment on High’. Soon her eyes opened, her trembling hand reached up and she began to sing with me as I knew she would. The former Mona Jones tried to find some sign of Edith Marie Hoffman remem- bering her. She ran through some of the vocalization exercises Miss Hoffman had taught her, and then she sang some strains of Ave Maria, and they visited together. Edith tried hard to recall this one who had been an eager pupil of hers. I still think that in time she may connect with the past. She manifestly en- joyed the visit. While Mrs. Higgs continued to visit with Miss Hoffman I moved on around the circle and stood in front of a Harriet Kuentzler whom I had previ- ously discovered had some hidden background of music for she always joins me in singing in her clear sweet voice and with great pleasure. She is listed as affiliated with We'll be glad to help. LET US HELP YOU. “LET US HELP YOU!" If you need money for any worthwhile purpose, see us for a convenient, low-cost personal loan.

Zion and also of a Mrs. Beulah Aten Rossi of Maine, N.Y. where I used to preach. I find it always inter- esting to make some connec- tion between these patients and with others whom they and I both know. Then Mrs. Higgs and I left Miss Hoffman for the time being to make some other calls. I never miss going in to visit and sing with two ladies, Mrs. Rachel Edwards and Miss Lottie Gregory both of whom avow they long ago lost voices and cannot sing. But sing they do and I always enjoy striking up some tune they both know. This day there was a third lady in that room visiting and I recognized her as Mrs. Augusta Crich, mother of Alice Davis of Trucksville. As soon as .I spoke her name Mrs. Higgs stepped up and recognized this old friend of hers and they went into an ecstatic embrace, for they were former neighbors. Then we all five sang together and had a good time. Funeral Usually when I am asked to officiate at a funeral it is because of some acquaintance with the survivors. But the one I was called for last week, Howard Brace, was no one I remembered ever knowing. The names listed in the obituary were strangers too. But when I got there I saw David and Celia Emanuel, and Leon Emanuel and also Nelson and Althea Dymond. We had a brief and friendly chat. When I pulled into the yard of the funeral home I found I had a very flat front tire! But one of the men there changed it for me. He happened to be the minister son of the funeral director. He was a God-send to me for that day I did not feel up to changing a tire. Nancy and Betsey Alling have returned to their classes at Bloomsburg after spending a few days at home between semesters. White Cap for Esther Arendt Miss Esther Arendt. daughter of Mrs. Mary Arendt, box 95. Noxen. was one of the 37 student nurses who received caps in the annual program of recognition at Alderson-Broad- dus College, Philippi, W.V.. Sunday. Jan. 19. Mrs. Thomas Roy. assistant professor of nursing presented each student with the cap which indicates completion of intro- ductory work and readiness for undertaking clinical experience in Broaddus Hospital. Big sis- ters placed the caps and a candlelight ceremony took place. Miss Sherry Wieland. vice president of” the sponsoring organization. introduced pro- gram participants, and Miss Brenda Crane, chaplain, led an opening devotional service. Members of the Gideon So- ciety presented each student a copy of the nurse’s white Bible as a part of the devotional ob- servances. Dr. Walter C. John- son Jr.., academic dean of the college, was at the organ for the ceremony. Following the program and ceremony tea was served in Hamrick Lounge for parents and friends. Miss Arendt is a 1968 grad- uate of Lake-Lehman High School. Dallas Senior High School Hunter Safety Twenty-four members of the Rod and Gun Club recently completed a course on Hunter Safety. Hunter safety awards were given to those who passed the test. Mr. Edward R. Gdosky, District Game Protector and Mr. Edward Hughes Jr. were the instructors and advisors. This program is also spon- sored on a national level by the National Rifle Association. In many states this Hunter Safety Program is compulsory for those who have never had a license before and are not sixteen years of age. Dallas was the first school in the valley to adopt this program and has already graduated two hundred boys. | Remember Mama The Junior Play Cast is busily preparing this year’s dramatic presentation to be given March 13 and 14 at the high school. This year’s under- taking is | Remember Mama, which will be a little different from presentations of past years.

The Junior high grapplers have, so far. had an undefeated season. They have beaten some of the best teams in the valley and seem destined to beat them all. Mr. Roberts and Mr. Brominski have a good reason to be proud. Congratu- lations boys, and keep up the good work. F) Another group we feel should be called to the attention of the public is those fun-loving. red- cheeked, hard-playing. physi- cally fit (huh), a gang of boys who so gaily rush out on a pond every afternoon to gash and stumble around plé¥ing ice hockey. Although not school sponsored, this hardy group of senior boys manages to pull itself together without supervision with a minimum (0) of disorganization. (Who's gonna take him to the hospi- tal?) blushes from a by-gone brochure Seventy-five dollars was a stupendous sum of money in those days. and to invest it in a mere female's. education re- quired much soul searching on the part of parents who were thinking in terms of Harvard. Princeton or Yale for the boys of the family. Seventy-five dollars was stag- gering. but when one con- siders what it purchased in 1855. it was a good investment. According to a brochure over . a century old. the money, to be paid strictly in advance. in- cluded room. board, light. fuel. bedding. in addition to instruc- tion in orthography. rhetoric. English, Greek, Latin, Logic. history, astronomy, mathema- tics, more Greek. more Latin. All this for one five-month term at Wilkes-Barre Female Institute. The second five-month term. ending in July. was like unto the first. and charged accord- ingly. Washing was done at the rate of 371% cents per dozen. and if parents wished their daughters to study modern languages in addition to dead languages. the cost was $3 per half session. Lessons on the piano cost $8.00. plus $2 for use of the in- strument. Drawing was a modest $3. with the rate going up the scale to $10 for oil painting. The Female Institute had at its head Rev. C. Jewett Collins. and A. David L. Jewett. asso- ciate principals. Miss Harriet M. Waller was in charge of social duties. The name of the.preceptress is so completely camouflaged by flowing Spencerian hand- writing (orthography?) that it is all but indistinguishable. It suggests Miss Z. B. Dewy. the letter S written so that it looks like an F. a form frequently seen in painstaking entries in the family Bible. ‘“The location of this Institu- tion on the banks of the Sus- quehanna affords much to gratify and to charm. The past munificense of its Founders and more especially the gen- erous assistance of the Ladies of the place. constitute a suffi- cient pledge to its friends abroad, that every facility shall be secured for the educa- tion of daughters cong to its care,” chure. ‘The Senior Principal. hav- ing been an instructor in the department of languages in Williams College, earnestly de- votes himself to the instruction of the Pupils in the several de- partments, aiding in their at- tainment of symmetry, moral. mental. social and physical. “The method of instruction combines the analytic and the synthetic; the effort made is not to store the mind. but to develop and cultivate its facul- ties. in order to the highest ac- quisition. and to the enjoyment of its acquirements through subsequent years of self-in- struction. “In the department of Social Duties, the Senior rial is sustained ‘by his cousin’ Miss Harriet M. Waller. whose un- remitted effort is to secure the domestic comfort. of the Pupils. and to win thé confi- dence by sisterly sympathy and affection.” Those were the days when skirts swept the ground. when horses sweat. men perspired. and ladies found themselves all in a glow in the summer heat. When there were no electric lights. when the Saturday Night Bath rated capital letters. when ankles were still a treat. \ BEAUTY ~,.
