Instead of the usual social affair at the home if one of the Micmbers, the meeting this year was a concert open to the public. The stage cf the school auditorium was effccl ircly decorated in flame azalea and mountain laurel. The audience was welcomed , by an address by the president of the club, Miss Margaret Rogers, in which she gave the purpose of the club, a res ume of its work for the past y,ear, and some of its ambitions.

We knew and recognized in her not . only a noble woman, but a true artist. "We are confident that the musical seeds sown by Miss Weaver in the soil of Franklin have blossomed into a love and appreciation of the best in music that the town as a whole would have fallen short of without her. This club is her child; she cre ated it, she cared for it in its infancy and put it on its feet.
