who gave a most informative talk
on the subject, “The Growth of
Our Public Schools in Texas.’’
Citing the fact that Texas schools
celebrated their 100th anniversary
January 23, 1954, Supt. Gerron
told of the wonderful progress
made within the past ten years.
He praised the enthusiasm and co-
operation of Texas people as hav-
ing been greatly respdhsible for
this progress.
Following the discussion on
schools, the leader offered a crys-
tal ball version of atomic energy
in 1964 in industry, medicine and
military aid.
The hostess served delicious re-
freshments to 15 members, the
speaker and one other guest, Mrs.
J. A. Wilson. During the social
hour, little Miss Sue McMurtry en-
tertained with a medley of piano
arrangements.
The society president, Mrs. Pitt-
man, was named to represent the
organization at the State Federa-
tion of Women’s Clubs at its fall
in Mineral Wells Nov.
8-11.
j Due to the stress of so many
' other demands on her time, Mrs.
Carlton McKinney was unable to
continue with the organization,
The Horizon Club, * which she so
graciously helped organize last
I spring.
i But thanks to Miss Vet Robinson,
graduate of Midwestern Univer-
sity, Mrs. McKinney and Mmes.
Coe Ellis and Joe Slack, ardent
promoters of Blue Birds, Camp
Fire and Horizon Club, the Horiz-
on Club again saw the light of day
at a meeting Tuesday night at the
home of Mrs. Ellis.
With Vet as advisor, the en-
thusiastic ’teen-age girls met for
| HORIZON CLUB REJUVENATED J able and anything you would like
done for a paltry sum will go to-
ward the promotion of this ’teen-
age club’s operation.
For services of club members,
call Helen Jane Ellis, Tel. 318J.
H. J. is also publicity chairman.
Constitution and by-laws will be
written by a committee composed
of Mary Slack, Bethalice Berry and
Andrea Burkhart, ably assisted by
the counselor, Miss Robinson, and
the president, Ann.
Members will be hostesses to
their club, in alphabetical order,
each Tuesday evening, 7 o’clock.
Mrs. Ellis served Cokes and
cookies to Polly Cox, Lenn Young,
Bethalice Berry, Andrea Burkhart,
Ann Horany, Frances Ann Harvey,
the reincarnation of the Horizon I Sue Ann Peyton, Penny Roberts,
Club. And delightful were the re-
sults. The officers, Ann Horany
as president, Frances Ann Harvey
as veep, and Mary Slack as secre-
tary-treasurer, unfolded from their
state of ennui and things began
unraveling. Those present decided
that the primary incidental would
be to secure funds to operate. So
was born the almost unique idea
of spending Saturday, Nov. 4, do-
ing errands, baby-sitting, doing
chores, et cetera, for townspeople.
Their prices will be quite reason-
Mary Frances Wilhoit, Gwen Wain-
scott, Mary Slack, Malena Martin
and Helen Jane Ellis.
Remember—let a Horizon Club
girl do a chore for you Saturday,
Nov. 4, for a nominal fee.
Mrs. A. J. Roeger and children,
Lois Ann and Ricky, of Amarillo

ily in this city. Mr. Roeger was on
a business trip to Georgia.
