With oth- er members of T.A.L.A. from all parts of Texas, El Libro members stayed at the Hotel Texas in Fort Worth. Betty Cavanna, famous au- thor of books written especially for teen-agers, was guest speaker at the luncheon and final day of the con- vention. Members who attended the convention say that it was a never- to-be-forgotten experience, and they are looking forward to attending this year's convention which will be held in Waco in February. On November 5, over 200 mem- bers of T.A.L.A. from fifteen dif- ferent schools were the guests of Aransas Pass High School for a day. The entertainment began with a wel- come by Mayor Pat Kendel of Aran- sas Pass, followed by amateur ma- gician entertainment from Aransas Pass schools. Then the Aransas Pass Library Chapter sponsored a treas- ure hunt and picnic at Port Aransas. Brass figure fours provided clues in the treasure hunt, which was cli- maxed by the discovery of the treas- ure -an old sea chest containing sea shell souvenirs for all the participants. Just before Christmas, two mem- bers, Linda Smith ,and Ellen Mc- Caughn, attended an open house given by the library club at Baker Jr. High School for the other Corpus Christi T.A.L.A. groups. El Libro members and Miss Jack- son held their Christmas party the week before Christmas. After dinner at the Chicken Shack, an evening of games and refreshments was held at the home of Janice Pulliam. On January 6, a business meeting, attended by Miss Jackson and El Libro members, was held at the home of Cecile Blackmon. The meeting was called to make plans for a forth.- coming talent show. In order to raise money for the trip to the Waco con- vention, El Libro hopes to present a talent show by and for Driscoll stu- dents in the near future. Members of E1 Libro are very en- thusiastic about the guidance and leadership of their sponsor, Miss Jack- son. They feel that the amazing suc- cess of their club can be credited to her.
