Super Seniors gather
The Super Seniors met August 4th
in the Gym for fellowship from 10-11
while drinking coffee, strawberry
and lime punch with sherbet.
As the sun rose Jessie Ash was in
her flower garden cutting the
beautiful yellow “Pom-Pom”
Dahleas and miniature Zinnias;
then she went to Guynell Kennedy’s
to pick up the orange-red Tithonia
daisies that she used in the ten white
vases decorating the five long
tables.
The Super Seniors had a great
surprise as name plates for the
Super Seniors’ trips were worn by a
number of people for “show.” Bell
Moore had made individual names
in red and placed them on Texas
shaped plates of white on red
background inscribed with: “Super
Seniors -Hilltop Baptist-Alto,
Texas.” The name plates are per-
manent with interchangeable name
plates. The name plate will be given
out for each trip and then taken up at
the end of each trip-ready for the
next trip.
At 11 Hubert Davis called the 75
happy, noisy, laughing and talking
people to order as Pinky Moore led
the song, Standing Or. the Promises
of God,” accompanied at the piano

was Bertie Lee Smith. He showed
the new Hymnals that the Super
Seniors had purchased in memory of
the deceased members.
He read a humorous poem entitled
“To Work” which drew laughter and
applause.
He recognized the visitors and
guest. He thanked Jessie and Babe
Smith for the beautiful flower
arrangements stating that the
flowers could be taken home by
those wanting them after the
program.
John Nickel gave the opening
prayer.
Virginia Davis recognized the
August birthday and anniversary
people having them stand for the
“Happy Birthday” song. She made
announcements and gave letters
with instructions and information to
those going on the Granbury, Fort
Worth and Glenrose Trip August 20-
21. She made remarks about the
permanent “Texas” name plates.
The red and white name plate mat-
ches the red and white cap and
jacket.
Bro. Bill Morgan gave a short in-
spirational talk ending with the
saying of a friend “I’ll keep going
until God calls me, then I’ll rejoice. ”
He then remarked, “To have a hap-
py and rejoicing life, one has to have
a happy spirit.” He gave the prayer
of thanks.
After the enjoyable covered dish
dinner with all kinds of tempting
desserts, Hubert introduced John
Williams who brought the following
program in songs: “It’s Such A
Pretty World,” “For the Good
Times,” “King of the Road,” “The
Green, Green Grass of Home,”
"Detroit City,” “I Can’t Stop Loving
You,” “Distant Drums,” “Your
Cheating Heart,” “Am I Losing
You?” “Send Me the Pillow That
You Dreamed On,” “Born To Lose,"
“Have I Told You Lately That I Love
You?” “He’ll Have To Go,”
“Welcome To My World,” "Make
the World Go Round,” "Who’s Going
To Fill Those Shoes?” “On the
Wings of A Dove,” “The Family
Bible,” “There Will Be Peace In the
Valley for Me,” “W/hy Me, Lord7”
“I Saw the Light,” and “American
Citizen."
Hubert thanked John for the en-
joyable program. It was well worth
facing the 98 degrees temperature
(outside) to listen to John sing for an
hour. The tunes of the songs will
linger in the minds and hearts of the
people for many days.
When the Super Seniors members
travel from Tyler, Jacksonville,
Nacogdoches, Rusk and Weches,
each month to attend the meetings,
one knows that they really enjoy the
good fellowship, superb food, and
entertaining and inspirational
programs Come and enjoy the mon-
thly meetings. And visitors are
always welcome!
The visitors attending were Kate
Sims, Steve Higginbotham, Martha
Higginbotham and Rebecca Lin-
dsey; Jim Marcus of Dallas; Fred
and Dorothy Fredrickson from
Jacksonville; Don and Willie Mc-
Cullough from Houston; Amy
Oliphant from Austin; and the guest,
John Williams of Lufkin.
