Puscogouio Music Club Scores
Success At Recital And Silver Tea

In its presentation of Fred
Jones, bass. and Mary Stuart
Harmon, pianist, in recital, fol-
lowed by a silver tea at the
Moss Point High school, Satur-
day afternoon the Pascagoula
Music club scored an artistic as
well as social success which cas-
lily placed it as one of the love-
liest events to be held in Jack
son county in many years.
Mr.. Jones, who has just fin
ished his studies in voice at Mis-
sissippi Southern college is not
new to Jackson Countains as they
have had the pleasure of hearing
his rich voice during the several
times that he has been one of the
soloists during the annual pre-
sentation of the Messiah. He
plans to continue his studies in
New York.
In his recital he gave a varied
program which showed his voice
to special advantage and was
gracious in responding to enthus-
iastic encores.
Miss Harmon, also is not a
stranger to local music lovers as
the music club presented her in
recital last year. She has wide
experience both as soloist and an
accompanist. On her graduation
from Mississippi Southern she was
for some years head of the music
departments of all the Meridian
schools. This was followed by
several years in New York as pro-
fessional accompanist at the Jul
lard School of Music. Owing TO
health conditions Miss Harmon
did not return to billiards last
year but taught piano at the Co.
piah-Lincoln Junior college at
Wesson.
Piano Numbers
She, too, gave pleasure, visual
because of her grace, as well as
auditory, in her playing of a
group of piano solos and encores.
The performers were introduc-
ed by Mrs. c. L. Nelson, retiring
president of the club, who also
requested the asemblage to 60 to
the cafeteria at the end of the
program where tea would be
served.
The cafeteria was beautifully
decorated. At the entrance to the
room a table on which was an
exquisite arrangement of pink
peonies attracted attention. And
the tables from which punch
was served and on which canapes
and other delicacies were placed
buffet t-fashion were also lovely
with flowers.
The guests seated themselves
at the cafeteria tables which
were beautiful with maidenhair
ferns and other greenery which
was interspersed with vases of
flowers the entire length along
the two side walls.
Arriving guests were greeted
by members of the club who
served as ushers and distribut-
ed programs.
During the tea hour Miss Har-
mon and Mr.. Jones were intro
duced by Mrs. Nelson and Mrs.
J. v. Ainsworth, the new presi-
dent, who were assisted in receiv-
ing by the other old and new
officers.
The punch bowls were pre-
sided over by Mrs, Amelia Cook
and Mrs. Martin Hamilton.

Uncle Albert To
Crochet Doilies at
Arizona State Fair

Has the family been snickering,
exchanging knowing looks or MAX
ing Snide remarks when Uncle Al
bert picked up his crochet work :?
Well, they had better get all set
to do an about face for they could
look pretty silly when Uncle AL
bert comes home from the Arizona
State Fair (it's on from Nov. 5-14
this year, with a blue ribbon for
his doilies. And would their faces
be red when the results of the
National Needlework Contest come
back from New York and they find
his handiwork had copied nation
wide acclaim?
This is no needed" bit of dream
copy either. According to Mrs. J. w.
CuRrie, Superintendent Domestic
Arts, not only is there a class for
men but the National Contest Gre
ating so much attention this year
is being held up to await Arizona's
entries.
This, because Arizona's is tn e
last state fair and the national
people expect some important en-
tries from this state of a thousand
wonders.
Of course, there are the regular
classes for women and for chill
dren, the latter group defined by
an age limit (13 to 19).
Mrs. Currie stresses the fact that
entries close Saturday, Oct. % at
5 pm. and articles being exhibited
must reach the fairgrounds not
later than Nov. 1 at 4 pm.
It seems that the information as
to where and how to get a prem
ium book just can't be repeated
too often from the number OF

commission offices receive. It's

Carver Gridsters in
"a to f Win

Winning their second football
game in as many starts, the Carv-
er High School Monarchs soundly
trounced the Glendale Junior Var
sity, "a to 6, last Friday night in
the Carver High stadium.
The visitors took an early first
quarter 60 lead when a Monarch
tumble gave them possession OF
the pigskin deep in Carver terri
tory. After an exchange of punts
and a momentary Monarch often
sive threat, Charles Nelson OF
Glendale intercepted a Carver pass
and carried the ball to the Carver
two-yard stripe. Mitz Tonita plung-
ed over on the next play for the
Glendale touchdown.
It took the Monarchs just eight
plays to tie up the ball game, as
Pete Durham, Monarch halfback,
broke for a % yard run for his
teams initial score. Leonard Camp
er, scat-back for the home team,
added second quarter touchdown
shortly before the intermission to
give Carver 1876 lead which was
never relinquished.
In the third stanza, big Willie
Kemp was personally responsible
for the next score when he inter-
cepted a Glendale pass and went
south all the way for e9 yards and
a touchdown. Kemp, a 174-lb. line
man, throughout the game proved
to be the fifth man in the Glendale
backfield, as he rushed the oppon-
entS passers and threw opposing
ball-carriers for heavy losses.
The final touchdown came in the
last quarter after continuous
Monarch drive had given Coach
Gus ShaW'S forces a first down on
the Glendale "a yard line. Pete
Durham, on a hand-off from quar-
terback Mathis, found hole in the
middle of the line and lugged the
pigSkin for "a yards and the score.
Don Diamond and little Mitz To-
nita were outstanding for the los
ers. Joe Ritchey, a newcomer to
Phoenix, played a fine defensive
game from his center and line
backing position for Coach Shaw's
team.
