The lure of restless tide water, a moonlit beach
and thoughts of vacation ending inspired our young people to honor
those students who are leaving soon for various colleges and schools
of learning, with a beach party on Wednesday evening. The host was
the local Christian Endeavor, Miss Ethel Nelson, President, with
Mrs. J. Harbison, Sponsor. The honorees were: Mrs. George Alice
Jones and Robert Liggett who returned to Kingsville, I. A. for their
second year, Miss Rosalie Nelson to San Marcos for her third year,
Miss Lottie Mae Johnson to Massey's Business College, Houston, Miss
Mamie Franzen to Houston, High School, and Miss Billy Crabill to San
Marcos. After a sumptuous camp free supper, the typical Endeavor and
college songs, stories and games applicable to the occasion, floated
out on the moonlit waves and far across the stretches of nodding
snow-mountain shrub and grass covered lawn to the homes along the
shoreline in a melody of dreaming adieux. The waves of the sea
chimed a murmur of love of youth and hope for a future well filled
with the attainment of success for the Endeavorers both at home and
away.
