We have some more Mothers S
Day news that came in too late for
last weeks paper. The Pilgrim
Holiness Church in Greenwood OBJ
served Mothers Day with The gift
of three flowers also. Mrs. Dorothy
Harris received a flower for being
the youngest mother present at the
service; Mrs. Claude Lynch of Mil
ford, for the oldest mother, and
Mrs Wilhelm, the one having the
largest family, nine.
An invitation came to this desk
last week that / wish we might
have accepted. It was from one Of
our Greenwood girls, Miss Rose
HandlOser, who is attending East
ern Nazarene College, WOllastOn,
Mass, and reads as follows: "An
invitation to hear Miss Rose Hand
loser present selections from the
works Of T. S. Eliot, John Bunyan,
Charles Dickens, assisted by Mr..
Robert A. Basham, pianist, May IA,
Speech Studio" You remember
we told you that Rose would send
us news Of her activities from time
to time. / wish I could share with
all of you the many clippings she
sent us from her college paper,
"The Campus Camera, which gives
us many glimpses of splendid col
lege activity Rose is a reporter for
her paper up there. She is deeply
devoted to her chosen school,
ENC and suggests that any Green
wood young people getting ready
for college, would do we'll to con-
slider it when they make their
choice.
ENC is a highly accredited liberal
arts college. You may study for any
field Of work, and any college or
university in the world accepts its
students graduate work. Rose tells
us that May 8, was their famous
annual JuniOr-SeniOr Day. The
Junior boys buy suits alike and the
Junior girls, buy dresses alike and
they have formal ceremony in the
morning when the Juniors receive
the Seniors in their caps and gowns
for the first time. In the afternoon
the Juniors treat the Seniors to an
outing on the Charles River, boat
ing, tennis, horseback riding, etc.
Then in the evening, they all don
formal attire, and go to New Eng
lands oldest and most famous
restaurant, ''The Toll House,
which has existed since 1879. Rose
ali this is fun, college is still hard
work. But she adds, ''it's such re-
warding thing to know that we're
something that will
help US live more effective lives"
A fine goal indeed and one that we
all desire for every young life in
our community.
