Celia Faraday CAlice Werlingl, when the time came for her to wear them a third time at the wedding of her youngest sister CJoyce Byerlyy who is engaged to Honorable Robert Carver fLaVern LeekaJ, rebelled. She therefore invented a sweet- heart and excused his non-appearance by saying that after she became engaged he was obliged to sail for the War in South Africa. She was even induced by her sisters to write him a letter. The letter, which she thought she had burned, was mailed by her sisters and was received by an officer in the army QTom Hunterj. who turned up shortly under an assumed name.

This year the membership was boosted to ninety, The purpose of the society is best expressed by its creed, which follows: With love in my heart, forgetting self, and with charity for all, I will make the object of my life helpfulness and kindness to others. I shall try to fit myself to give intelligent service in making my community a safer, and more beautiful place in which to live. Thus will my own life become rich and complete. Many special events were added this year. February brought a party for the Dads and a Breakaway party to which the girls invited the boys. In March the mothers of the Sunshine girls were honored at a banquet. There were meetings held once a month. The financial situation was taken care of by the sale of holly wreaths at Christmas and selling pop at basketball games. The proht from the pop was divided with the Hi-Y boys. The district convention was held at Windfall, and the state convention at Battle Ground, near Lafayette. The officers are: President .......... iiiii ......,.........
