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

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.
She’s a winner!

tress of Ceremonies, keep-
ing the audience in stitches
most of the evening. Debbie,
who tried her darndest to
win one of the many door

carrying the prize her mother
won instead.
