landmark in local history. because it
marks the coming into existence Of
an organization which for fourteen
years has stood strongly for every
move that has made possible a more
moral. a more spiritual and a more
intellectual atmosphere In La Junta,
and for every innovation that has
meant progress and prosperity. This
entertainment proved the initial

president and for two years. on until
she moved from La Junta. she held
that place OF responsibility in the
organization that does honor. In all
Of lis worthy history. to her sweet
charity and her noble road minded.
