Special Mother’s Day
Program
Friday morning, May 8, at the as
sembly period the members of the
Methodist Club presented a very im
pressive Mother’s Day program in the
college auditorium. James Crouse had
charge of the program.
One of the main features of the pro
gram was a talk by Mr. Dendy. Mr.
Dendy talked to the group on Mother
and showed them how a mother’s love
and care for her brood was true in all
forms of nature. He stated that she
is the first person a little child learns
to love and showed how a mother sac
rifices for her children and how she
teaches them the right way to live. In
order to show one’s appreciations for
this Mr. Dendy stated that each one
should use every opportunity possible
to show her his genuine love for her.
In closing he said that every act we do
not only brings credit or discredit on
ourselves but more so on mother.
Other features of the program were:
Prelude, Miss Hatcher; Scripture and
Prayer, Margaret Wilson; Solo-“Moth-
er Machree”, Leighton Presson; Poem
“Our Mother”, Ruth Coltrane; Quar-
tet-“Tell Mother I’ll Be There”, Mary

charge of the program and was in
strumental in getting Miss Dotson to
present it. After a short devotional
