It was an evening of fun and excitement as The 1984 Homemak- ers School sponsored by The Dallas Post was held last Tuesday evening. The show, conducted by Home Economist Diane Gryger, was per- formed to a near capacity crowd in College Misericordia as more than 300 people turned out for the annual event. Gryger, a Home Economist for Homemakers, Inc., a national cor- poration, was most delightful as she explained, in detail, to the audience everything about the recipes she was preparing. What was most help- ful to the members of the audience, also, was the distribution of the 1984 Homemakers Cookbook which allowed them to follow along her every step. The use of bright lights, micro- phones, and three large mirrors made it possible for everyone in the auditorium to see and hear what 3 was happening on stage while Gryger conducted the show. Thanks to the help of three women who worked all day preparing what was needed for the show, Ms. Gryger had everything right at her finger- tips during the show. Hats off to Martin of Forty Fort and Fran Ragusa of Kingston for lending a hand. Debbie Zurinski, of Harveys Lake, served as Mistress of Ceremonies for the evening and did a great job for the third year in a row. Ms. Zurinski, who tried awfully hard to pick her own name for a door prize, was left to carry home a prize won by her mother. Melba’s Fashion Nook, of Carver- ton Road in Trucksville, provided a fashion show during intermission of the Homemakers School with some beautiful fall fashions. Models Melba Boudreaux, proprietor of Melba’s Fashion Nook;, Gloria McCartney, Ann Ardenti, Sharon cog or Fashion models Luke and Dawn Rosencrans did a fine job while Cindy Ursiak assisted Ms. Boudreaux with the prepara- tions for the show. All those who attended the show were given a ‘‘goodie’” bag which contained a bag of pretzels or potato chips from Middlesworth and lots of recipe ideas. Pepsi-Cola provided refreshments for the evening while several door prizes were also awarded throughout the evening. Members of The Dallas Post staff were kept busy throughout the night by distributing the door prizes, serv- ing soda, washing and drying dishes for Ms. Gryger and helping her pack up all of her equipment at the conclusion of the show. All in all, it was a fun night out. The Dallas Post staff would like to extend its thanks to all those who particiated n the 1984 Homemakers School and, to those who missed this year’s show, watch your calendar for next year’s show.
