to be one of the most interesting
meetings of the year, business and
pleasure being equally divided.
A selection by the high school or
chestra opened the program and this
we'll trained group of young musicians
was heartily encored.
A communication from the Marion
County Realtors Association regard
ing tax exemptions on bonds was read
and discussed informally.

club voted honorary membership to
Mrs Jake Brown, who now lives in
Miami. Mrs. Brown was charter
member of the Ocala Woman's Club
and gave the lot on which the club
house stands.
The chairman of the park commit
tee Mrs. F. G. B. Weihe, on behalf of
the committee, presented the club
with a clock. This is very hand
some clock and runs for year with
out winding. Mrs. Weihe read let
ter from Mrs. F. L. Ezell, state chair
man of parks, asking her to serve on
1.-THE state park committee of extension

ciated. Mrs. Weihe also presented a
lovely little bud vase to Mrs. Hood,
the retiring president.
Mrs. Todd, on behalf of the execu-
tive board, presented Mrs. Hooker,
past state president. with beautiful
state officers pin. In her delightful
speech of presentation, Mrs. Todd ex-
planned the meaning of the symbols it
represented. Mrs. Hooker was too
overcome to make speech. but thank
ed the board most sincerely.
The president requested that the
girls of the graduating class of 1922
appear on the stage and asked that
Mrs. Todd sponsor them. 1t has been
the custom for several years past to
give the high school girl graduates
membership of one year to the Ocala
Woman's Club, and it was with q
great deal of pride that we looked
upon these fair young representatives
of the class of 1922 of the Ocala high
school.
This program was made more en-.
Ijoyable by vocal solos by Mrs. Lev.
lerett Futch and Mr.. Lester Lucas
who were encored with the enthusiasm
always accorded these popular sing
ers, as was also a delightful piano
solo by Miss Olive Whaley.
