The Story of My Years Sewing

On the seventeenth of February
a fine crowd Of yong girls met and
organized the Friendship Club. We
had the jolly leader, Mrs. Ward. We
were all hoping to be elected as
some officer. Miss Mann, the farm
bureau helper and booster, was
there to entertain and help US with
our club work. The officers elected
were: Miss Lena Echevarria, Presi-
dent, Miss Fermina Echevarria. Vice
President and Miss Aquilina Gas
tanaga, Secretary and Treasurer. Of
course like all beginners we wanted
our nightgowns cutout before any
one else. We finally decided to
cut out the nightgowns in order.
We all lined up. The first one in
line got their nightgown cut out
first. After all the nightgowns were
cut out, Miss Mann taught us how
to play Cranes and Crows. We de-
cided at this meeting to go by mi
tials for our meeting place. We
also decided to make ourselves
club song which we have not done
yet.
The next meeting we had was at
the home of Violet Bradshaw. There
we worked on our nightgowns. Mrs.
Ward and Mrs. Bradshaw were
helpers. After We were tired of |
working on our nightdresses we
@ent and played games. The
next meeting was decided to be at
the home Of the President, Lena
Echevarria.
The next Monday night after
school we met at the home of Mrs.
Ward, local leader. Her sister, Mrs.
Parkes, was there. Mrs. Parkes
looked at all our .nightgowns and /:
seemed to be well pleased with them. I
We stamped our monographs on our
We then went home.
The next Saturday we met at the !
home of Lena Echevarria. Here
We embroidered the monograms on

here. We then lost our
leader, Mrs. Ward. Two or three
weeks went by before we found
another leader, During this time

Joined our club. Lena then dropped
out Violet was elected Vice Presi-
dent and Fermina became President.
The next. meeting was where we
cut out boomers. These we worked
on at several meetings. After we
had completed our boomers we cut
out an apron. We had a good time
between the making of each gar
ment. These were held at different
places each time and a good time
was enjoyed by all present.
We then began to raise money
for the trip to Reno. After we had

would be hard to say which is the

cial functions, or married teacher
who is overburdened with home cares

away from both. However, all other

There is another angle from which
namely, it is presumed that when a
man and woman marry if their motive
is right, they will endeavor to make
home and raise family; and
don't see how this can be managed
satisfactorily if both members of the
family are away from home working

R. K CORKHILL.
P. S. The clipping follows:
Concerning Married Teachers
1t is impossible to draw a hard and
fast line between married teachers
and unmarried and do justice to the
public and the teachers. Ability is
the governing factor. Some have it
more than others, and the superior
teachers may or may not be married.
In determining the best qualified
teachers, the circumstance of mar
riage is not entitled to consideration.
1t sometimes happens that the mar
ried teachers with children of her own
is more understanding teacher than
an unmarried teacher and therefore
gets better results in the classroom.
On the other hand it sometimes
happens that a married teacher gives
less satisfactory service by reason of
being too much engrossed in the af-
fairs of her family and home.
In considering married and un-
married teachers. each case must be
decided on it's own merits.
Whether first class teachers have
husbands who can support them. and
whether unmarried teachers who may
be of mediocre ability need the work
are questions not worth minute IS
thought.
