History Club Special Program of Music Friday

Mrs. H. L. Woolridge was director of a program for the History Club Friday 
afternoon which was arranged in observance of Mozart's 200th anniversary.  The 
meeting was held at the First Methodist Church.  

Mrs. Edward C. Parker, club president, welcomed guests and gave a brief, 
informative sketch on the life of Mozart, one of the world's greatest composers
who died while a young man in the 18th century.  His works are cherished and
enjoyed by millions today.

The serving table was covered with a maderia, cutwork and embroidered, white
cloth with a center arrangement of pink galdioli.  Frozen fruit cocktail squares
floated in the delicious punch served by Mrs. F. H. Watson.
