Mrs. Hess Speaks to
Delta Gamma Society
The first meeting of the Alpha
Upsilon chapter for the year was
held Saturday, Nov. 9, in the home
of Mrs. Orvil Fuller, Linden, Texas.
Mrs. W. D. Berry Jr., presided
over a short business meeting, af-
ter which she introduced Mrs.
Hess, of Atlanta, Texas, who gave
a very inspirational, as well as in-
structive talk on "How to Enrich
Teacher's Personal Lives."
Mrs. Hess began by classifying
teachers into groups; the ones who
do, and the ones who talk about
those who do. The first group
was referred to as a live stream,
and the other group as a stagnant
pool. The live stream goes on and
on and finally empties into the
ocean. It does things while the lat-
ter stands still and accomplishes
nothing.
Personal charm was the first
point Mrs. Hess gave as an asset
to any teacher. Her suggestion
was that one should dress conserva-
tively, yet stylish and becomingly
and never drab colors.
Meet people, was her second
point. Every person no matter
how small a sphere he lives in can
give something to add to the en-
richment of your life.
The third point; Enrich your
Spiritual life. By this, she stated
that it is not only important to
attend church and to enter into
church activities, but to try to
make our personality as near like
that of Jesus.
The hostesses, Mrs. Fuller, Miss
Florence Teague and Mrs. Berry,
served a delicious salad plate.
