Mother Goose Theme Prevailed at Tea The 32nd annual Mother's Tea was held on April 30, with nearly 400 guests attending. The tea was a project of the senior Home Economics class. Story Book of Fashion was this year's theme. The commentary was developed around Mother Goose nursery rhymes. Commentators Becki Domenighini and Marlene Wise wore long skirts with shawls and sat in a rocking chair to add to the Mother Goose effect. Decorations, designed by Lindsay Sell, LaVern Huntley, and Sally Cox, were also designed around the Mother Goose theme. Mothers were greeted by LaVern Huntley and Joan Dockery and presented name tags and favors. Favors were hot pants made from dish cloths. They were then given an opportunity to view the display table containing student projects before the entertainments began. Debbie Edwards was mistress of ceremonies and Janet Hurrell extended the welcome. Between Parts I and II of the fashion show, entertainment was provided by Judy Solmon, Sidney Sherwood, and Marsha King, accompanied by Phyllis Mendenhall, and a skit by Marilyn Solmon, Karen Parry, and Vicki Stevens. Outgoing F. H. A. president Judy Solmon presented the new F. H. A. officers for 1971-72 to the group. Peggy Connelly then presented Judy Solmon with the F. H. A. Girl of the Year award. Mrs. Sue Rundberg, Home Economics teacher, was presented with a floral arrangement by the senior girls.
