Recently wed Mr. and Mrs. Harold S. Rogers Jr. are back in Indianapolis and on their respective jobs after a whirlwind honeymoon tour of New Orleans, Tampa, Fla., and Atlanta. The bride, formerly Sandra Kay Connor, is a graduate of General Motors Institute and works for Detroit Diesel Allison. Her husband, too, works for Detorit Diesel, having attended Indiana-Purdue University, Indianapolis. They were married Saturday evening, October, 14, at Second Christian Church, with the congregation's pastor, Dr. T. Garrett Benjamin, officiating at the double-ring ceremony. For the momentous occasion, the attractive bride wore an ivory gown of chiffon replete with a chapel train. The bodice and veil were trimmed with alecon lace and seed pearls. Her parents are Clyde and Eva Taylor, 1024 N. Sheffield, and the groom is the son of Harold and Mary Rogers. Given in marriage by her father, Mrs. Rogers thrilled guests with a stirring rendition of “With One More Look at You” from “A Star Is Born” during the ceremony.. Further musical enhancement was added by organist Betty Hayes and soloist Eunice Francis’ “The Lord’s Prayer." Serving as matorn-of-honor
and maid-of-honor in orange and gold rose print were Mrs. Suzanne Bradley and Denise Y. Stewart of Dayton, lyWearing identical outfits Lorri Rogers, the groom’s sister, and Gloria Taylor, bride’s niece, carried out bridesmaids’ duties.

Each year, members of the bigh Murphy family gather for what they fondly call “Annual Family Birthday Party Cele-
bration."
Actually, it’s a reason to gather for celebrating birthdays of all members born in
November.
This year, special accolades went to John H. Murphy, who at 94, can now be considered the patriarch. He’s a father, grandfather and great-grand
father.
During the reunion last month at the Medic Building, 701 Indiana Avenue, nothing pleased younger relatives more than to hear him “spout about
the good old days." He has reason to.
John Murphy is from Memphis and has been in Indianapolis three times for the family birthday party. He was accompanied this time by his wife of
two years, no less.
One of the gentleman's biggest distinctions recalled was his being asked to discuss Mack history at the 1972
Indiana Black Expo. Relatives think his memory have a chance to speak briefly b amazing for a man of his age. *b^ u t her particular interest.

after showing his film “Birth.” Next, he will show his second film “Loving Hands" which deals with the traditional Indian art of baby massage. Dr. Leboyer came to prominence in the early 1970’s as originator of a new approach to childbirth which regards the newborn infant as a highly sensitive person whose deep emotional needs should be appreciated and attended to. Such practices as delivering a child into a dimmed room and immersing a newborn in lukewarm water have become known as the “Leboyer me-
thod.”
The Rudrananda Ashram Foundation, a not-for-profit organization who sponsors educational, cultural and public service programs is sponsoring Dr. Leboyer. Dr. Leboyer studied at the University of Paris School of Medicine. He has served as Chef de Clinique at the University Hospital in 1954-55 before devoting himself completely to his obstetrical practice. Since 1953, he has delivered more than 10,000 babies, and starting in 1976 over 1,000 with his new approach. In spite of his impressive medical background the French doctor, who is no longer in active practice, considers himself more as an artist, and emphasizes that his message is basically not a medical one, but rather simply a human one. Dr. Leboyer started to modify his delivery procedure in the late 60’s after the reliving of his own birth in a deep psychoanalysis. He began to see the newborn with a different eye, and wondered why the baby cried and screamed so much after birth, and why the more he cried, the happier most of those around him appeared to be. He suggests that the crying is a sign of suffering and does not make the small lungs any stronger, as is popularly believed.
Alpha Sigma Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority celebrated Founders’ Day with a banquet attended by 60 Sorors and friends. Co-hosts for the banquet at The Essex Hotel were members of the undergraduate metropolitan chapter, Gamma Zeta of IUPUI. Founders present who received gifts as tokens of appreciation were Vivian Marbury, Hattie M. Redford and Dorothy Whiteside. Unable to be present but sending greeting by telegram were founders Mary Lou Little of Los Angeles and Nan Johnson of Indianapolis. s Deceased founders memorialized on the program were Bessie R. Martin and Cubena McClure. In commemoration of the fact that Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority is the only predominately black Sorority founded in Indianapolis on the campus of Butler University. On November, 1922, a special presentation was made to Dr. David Silver. Dr. Silver, the senior faculty member on the Butler campus, is dean of the College of Liberal Arts. He received a copy of the sorority’s history book for the Butler Library. The book, “Behind These Doors-’ Legacy: The History of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority", was written by Pearl Schwartz W’hite of St. Louis, Mo.,
Zeta Sigma Chapter.
Speaking on the theme for Founders’ Day was Miss Martha White, dynamic president of the Indianapolis Chapter of the National Council of Negro Women. Her topic on the hard earned achievements of black women was inspirational in its message, correlating perfectly with the theme: Black Women Meeting the
Challenge of Today! World.
In a moving response to the speaker’s address, Ramona Hayes, Basileus of Gama Zeta Chapter, rendered the “Negro Mother”
poem by Langston Hughes.
Music for the occasion was provided by Virtea Downey. Founder’s Day committee members and assignments were Hallie Carter (introduction of speaker); Alma Ramsey (arrangements);
Lora Vann (program); and Edna May (Chairman). Basileus of Alpha Sigma Chapter is Rosemary Carpenter.
