Observes Family Week
Wightman Methodist Church,
Prosperity, observed National
National Family Week May 1-8
in many ways. On Thursday
evening. May 5 at 7:30 p.m.
the families of the church came
together in the recreational
hall of the church for a picnic
supper. The table was decorat
ed with arrangements of sweet
peas, iris and pansies and laden
with many delicacies such as
fried chicken, lemon tarts, etc.
After the evening meal every
one—from the oldest to the
youngest—enjoyed games and
stunts. The ice-breaker was a
shopping game. The winners
were asked to make the men
carry the packages home with
them. Dr. George Harmon ar
rived at his destination with
all of his packages (inflated
baloons). Mr. W. C. Barnes
lost many packages en route.
The side-splitting show was
the modeling of women’s hats
by Mr. Dan Hamm, Sr., Mr.
Pete Leaphardt, Mr. J. I. Ruff,
Mr. Alvin Hipp, and Mr. Dan
Ham. Jr. Many other games
were enjoyed—the children en
joyed dramatizing the story of
“The Three Little Kittens,’ us
ing paper bag puppets and lis
tening to nursery rhyme rec
ords.
Mrs. Alvin Hipp led the
group in singing familiar songs
and hymns.

The Methodist Youth Fel
lowship of the Wightman
Church observed ‘'Parents’
Night” Sunday evening, May
8, at 6:45 at their evening fel
lowship meeting. The topic—
“Our Family at Home and at
Church”—led by Miss Dorothy

problems of family life, and
how to solve them in a demo

Junior-Senior Banquet
“The 49ers was the theme
of the Junior-Senior banquet
of the Prosperity School held
Friday evening, May 6 in the
gymnasium. Enjoying the af
fair with the juniors and sen
iors were the faculty and their
guests, the trustees and their
wives, and the school bus driv
ers and their wives.
The gymnasium was trans
formed into a camp at the foot
of a mountain. On the camp
site were the covered wagon,
the camp-fire, trees, and even
the glitter of gold dust.
To get to the camp site the
guests went through a “parlor,”
typical of 1849. In evidence
here were the spinning wheel,
the glow from a kerosene lamp
and the family Bible. Two
girls dressed as 49ers were
serving and piecing a quilt.
In the camp setting the tables
were placed. The place cards,
the memory books, and other
table appointments further ac
centuated the ’49 theme. A
delightful four course dinner
was served. The waitresses
wore long gray chambray dress
and aprons and bonnets of red-
checked material.
Mr. H. B. gave the invoca
tion. “There’s Gold in Them
Thar Hills” was the subject of
the welcome address and toast
to the seniors given by Miss
Anne Bedenbaugh, president of
the junior class. Miss Floy
Long, senior class president, re
sponded wil “Gold Now.” “Off
to the Diggin’,” was the toast
to the trustees and faculty giv
en by Dalton Horton. Supt
F. P. Hill responded. Mrs. Al
vin Hipp gave an enjoyable
piano solo. Dr. Von A. Long,
chairman of the board of trus
tees, introducted the speaker,
Mr. C. E. Hendrix of the State
Department of Education. Mr.
Hendrix used as his central
idea, “The Gold in the Pros
perity Hills.” The singing of
the Alma Mater brought to a
close one of the loveliest ban
quets of the school.
During the evening soft
music was furnished by a
string quartet composed of Har
old Bedenbaugh, L. B. Frick,
Karl Frick and Hoyt Ray Der
rick.
Dancing followed the ban
quet.
