In the heart of Nell Lemons
was horn the idpo of holding an
annual reunion of old school-
mates. A number met in her home
last summer and again this year
on August 27. 12 of them) ac-
cepted her generous hospitality,
with Willie O’Neal as co-hostess.
They each wore wash frocks and
carried their (limner in a little
tin pail as of yore.
A call-bell tingled its welcome,
old friends became reminiscent
of the past and ties of love began
to weave its pattern, the group
decided to organize and give it-
self a name.
Nell Ljll Lemons was elected
president. No other officers were
elected—the reporter being chosen
in alphabetical order.
Now for a name-all had at-
tended the Panhandle School in
cue nineties. It was decided to do
honor to the Miller Academy and
its first teacher, a Mr. Miller, who
owned the property and founded
the school in 1899, hoping to
make it the Academy of the Pan-
handle of Texas. The name chosen
was “The Miller Academy Givis”;
our aim: to renew loving friend-
ships and to revive meimories of
this school. Our song and flower
is to he chosen yet. Those eligible
to membership are the ones who
attended school there in the
nineties, (remember we are
youngsters yet and we intend' to
grow old “graciously”).
Mrs. J. S. Wynne is the only
known living club-mother, so she
was elected an honorary member.
We now have a membership of
20 members'.
We will meet next May, hostess
to be decided later.
Along with the dainty lunches
spread, fruit punch was served to
the following members (known in
club by their maiden nanies):
Allie Smith, Louie Henson, Mag-
gie Liil, Ruby Lill. Opal Car-
hart, Maggie Rhudyard, Lydia
Lill, Beulah Ware, Nina Carhart,
Lena Hjickox, Willie Whiteside
and Nell Lill.
Again in the afternoon, they ate
watermelon, going into the spa-
cious grounds, where shrubs and
pretty flowering things bespoke
another “Lill” Yard.
Reluctantly the guests de-
parted, as sin ring the hostess that
it had been another “perfect”
day.—Lena H. Bishop, reporter,
Claude.
