DOROTHY M. FRY

Born to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Parmalee on February 21st, a daughter, Betty Jean. The Bridge Club met last Tuesday evening at the C. E. Minninger home. High score awards were made to Dorothy Fry, Mrs. Fred McRoberts, Mr. Fred McRoberts, and Mr. A. Hawkins. Consolation awards were made to Mrs. William Hayes, and Mr. Clyde Warner. A delectable luncheon was served at a late hour, consisting of date and walnut cake with whipped cream, and coffee. On Thursday afternoon in the school auditorium the Woman’s Club met with Mesdames J. Wolgemuth, R. Born, W. Fry and Dorothy Fry as hostesses A special feature of the business meeting was a talk given by Mrs. Barhide of the Oakland Woman’s Club, who is chairman of 4-H Club activities in the Woman’s Club. A book contest was the afternoon’s diversion in which winners were Mrs. G. Grant; Mrs. C. Rader of the Schneider Club, and of the guests Mrs. Barhide was awarded first. Consolation prize was given to Mrs. A. Vicory. A special part of the afternoon in connection with the club was a shower given for Mrs. John Born, a member. Many dainty bits of clothing were in the many parcels which Mrs. Born received. The school stage, especially decorated for the occasion, was the scene of the “shower”. A surprise indeed was the fate of C. E. Minninger on Thursday evening, when a number of friends gathered at his home to celebrate his birthday. Mr. Minninger had gone hunting with a brand new dog, when a hurry message was given him that his wife had fallen down the cellar steps and broken her leg. Needless to say “Dolly” made for the cellar at about 100 miles per hour--and was he surprised! Bridge was the evening's occupation, after which a luncheon was served of sandwiches, fruit dessert, and coffee. Mrs. John Daun, a new bride, was another much surprised Schneiderite on Friday evening when members of the Daughters of Sara of the Presbyterian Church, and several guests gathered at the Emil

Larson home for a pot-luck supper, and a bridal shower. Mrs. Daun, who had received news of the serious illness of her mother, came rushing home at a terrific speed only to be greeted by “Surprise” Mrs. Daun was the recipient of a number of lovely gifts, and was a very upset young woman indeed.
