the saying of the Club Collect and the pledges to the United States of America
and Texas flags, were conducted. Paula Fuller, secretary, read the minutes
of the two previous meetings and Pearl Gustafson treasurer, gave a statement
concerning club finances.
After the president's welcome she presented an our view of the new club
yearbooks especially sighting the field trips to Peggy Kelton's Ranch where
