Miss May Jones' Party.
-----
Miss May Jones
entertained quite a number of friends Friday evening. Complimentary to
Miss Nancy Rice, who is soon to leave with her parents for Austin. The
party was a very jolly one, composed principally of class and schoolmates.
The evening passed all to swiftly, and when the hour for departure came "good
byes" were said with a reluctant feeling, yet with thanks in profusion to the
hostess for such a delightful time.
In the prize contest Gussie Whitaker and
Ottie Vernin were winners of the first prizes, Dolly Schuh and Joe Johnson the
boobies. After the advertisement contest we wrote telegrams using the
letters of Nancy's name. Rodney Donohoo carried off the first prize and
Herbert Rice the booby.
May, with the assistance of her two
brothers, served delicious refreshments.
Those present were: Elsie Eikei
(Waco), Lucy Keesee, Mildred Finks, Marion Sims, Ruby Smith, Hillie Hart
Johnson, Nancy Rice, Gussie Whitaker, Mary Nell Cook, Dolly Schuh, Allie Gill,
Alice Hollingsworth, Louise Dunkum, Joe and Grady Johnson, Charlie Robertson,
Robert Crawford, Lilbourne Peterson, Hawthorne Kyser, Rodney Donohoo, Albert
Chilton, Ottie Vernin, Herbert Rice, Fonzie Robertson.
