HALLE @. BROWN CON-
MUNTTY HOUSE
NOTES
In Brief"

The goth Century Mothers Club
met at the, House Friday. Plans
are underway for a real Mother
and Daughter affair the likes of
which has not been seen around
these parts.
The Glee Club is preparing for
several very strenuous programs
in the spring.
Miss "B" and her Doll Club has
had quite busy season playing to
large audiences at the five st. Paul
Neighborhood Houses plus Max
field School. Among some of the
youngsters in the group are Bobby
and Julia Toliver, the young hope
fuls of Bob and Mary Jones; Little
Joan Howell, the offspring of Nor
man and Meredith, and Tommy
Carroll, who is the most popular
male around Halle Q. Brown.
Tommy is also a daily attendant
at Nursery School. By the way,
Leah Minor is now on the staff of
the Nursery School, bringing to it
experience in teaching, music and
acquaintance. New but familiar
faces in the Nursery School this
week are the little cherubs of the
Virginia-Francis Doyles, Bella
Huron Skeletons, Mary and Bob's
youngest. 1t is important to teach
the young child to be Independent,
sure of himself, helpful and to get
along early in life with other chill
dren. This is what happens to our
Nursery School children. They de-
velop so much more rapidly than
the child who does not take advan-
tage of the Nursery School.
The goth Century girls, under
Mrs. Coram, have been demon
strating their ability in the field
OF culinary ART.
The KY Supper Club had a
swimming party Saturday night at
the Y instead of a dinner meeting.
Eva Lee did the instructing. Mar
garet Williams and Mildred Mum
son were seen struggling at one
end of the pool while Hazel and
Rosamond were floating through
the water like a breeze. Earring
Stokes and others sat on the side
lines looking wistfully on.
All Camp Fire Girls looked
smart Monday as they went about
in their dark blue skirts and white
blouses. Monday was MILDLY Day
for Camp Fire.
The Mems Council will have it's
regular monthly meeting Thurs
day, March Z, at 8 p. m. All MEM
bers are urged to attend.
What on earth is wrong with
Halle" girls; they just can't lick
phyllis" girls. Better luck next
time. Try harder.
