Thursday, December 7, 1944 SOCIETY WOMEN'S ACT By NORMA NIPPON Phone 2206 JUNIOR EBELL CLUB HAS JOLLY CHRISTMAS PARTY AT JOINT MEETING The annual Christmas party of the Junior Ebell club was enjoyed last Tuesday evening when the sections met at the Ebell clubhouse for a jolly good time and their general meeting. The Christmas spirit was much in evidence in the attractive holiday decorations throughout the clubrooms. A short business session preceded the program, the business meeting being presided over by the president, Mrs. Richard Clark. Attention was called to the holiday dance that will be held on December 16 at the Ebell clubhouse and tickets may be secured by calling Mrs. Robert Weaver at telephone 4854. The many guests assembled were divided into small groups for the various games that were to be played, with the same number of games for the same amount of groups formed. As each group completed their game, their score was recorded and the game rotated to the next group where the same procedure was followed until the entire number of teams had played each of the games. In the final tally of the score sheets, the two high winning teams were given prizes. Outstanding but most attractive was the simple but very effective mantle decoration, a large red candle placed in the center of the fireplace mantle with the final touches of decoration being Christmas greenery very artistically used to complete the decoration. The center of the decorations tive with a centerpiece of fall fruits specially prepared and covered with sugar to represent snow, was placed on a mirror with bright holly placed around the fruit to complete the arrangement. As soon as the refreshment course of individual apple dumplings with hot lemon sauce, coffee and tea was served the guests formed a circle around the tree and the gifts were then distributed. Presiding at the coffee and tea urns were Mrs. Richard Clark and Mrs. Catherine Andrews, the latter being in charge of the entertainment committee. Special guests for this meeting were Mrs. John Wilson, president of the Ebell club and Mrs. J. Ben Kaulbars, sponsor of the Junior Ebell club. Hostesses for this delightful party were the new members of the club who proved themselves most gracious hostesses. Open House At 'Teen Age' Canteen Last Evening Gaiety prevailed last evening when the "Teen Age" canteen held public open house at their new quarters over the Mahaffey-Fitz Furniture Store between the hours of 8 to 10 p.m. When the canteen was first started they were housed on West Center street next door to sors of this project, who are doing a great deal for the young people of Anaheim in providing good wholesome entertainment. A complete renovation job has been done with redecoration and new furniture as well as play equipment being installed. During the evening of open house, the "teen-agers" served doughnuts and coffee at the "snack bar" while other members of this group acted as guides in presenting their new quarters. The Anaheim Council of Parents-Teachers are extremely proud of the work they have accomplished and the comments and praise they are receiving from the townspeople, attest to the fruits of their labor in bringing about this goal they undertook in the face of apparent obstacles. Announcement has been made of the election of officers for the "Teen Age Canteen," these being: Jack Gregor, president; Jeanne Wilson, vice-president; Addelle Messersmith, secretary and treasurer, Ruth Gregg. "Christmas Carol" Presented to Ebell Club on Monday Charles Dickens immortal "Christmas Carol," so indicative of the Yultide season, was beautifully presented to the members of the Ebell club when they held their sectional meeting last Monday at the Clubhouse.

The present quarters were secured after faithful work on the part of the committee appointed by the Council of Parents and Teachers, spon15-PC, TAVERN CANDLE TABLE CENTER SET... $2.44 5 assorted Hand-dipped Tapers, 2 large and 8 small Novelty Candle Angels.

Guest artist to present the program was Walter David, noted actor, editor and lecturer, chaplain at the United States Navy Housing project at Long Beach. He was presented by Mrs. August Schumacher, program chairman of the club. The story, written 100 years ago, brings an unforgettable message each time it is read or heard given by an artist, who depicts, through Scrooge, the cruel, selfish and greedy old man, a human that is indescribable in his mannerisms. The story holds as great a message as it did when it was written, a story of pathos and sentimental pity for one of such greed and yet, hate for the man who could be so cruel in his belief of Christmas. Miss Edith Brown, well known and talented artist of this city, sang a group of three songs, "Serenade" by Schubert; "White Christmas" and "I'll Be Seeing You," popular numbers of today which were requested by the guests, during the luncheon hour. She was introduced by Mrs. John Wilson, president of the club, with Mrs. H. H. Heckman as accompanist at the piano. The business session in the afternoon, preceding the general meeting, was of importance to the group. The important part of this session was the recommendation of the board of directors and the unanimous approval of the members for the purchase of the adjoining lot to the present club property on North Helena street. At the conclusion of the business session, Miss Lena V. Rowe, war bond drive chairman, reported that, in cooperation with the federation "Buy a Bomber" campaign, nearly $6,500 in bonds had been sold to members and credited to the effort of the club. An announcement was made regarding the open house for the "Teen Age" Canteen on Wednesday evening, December 6, from 8 until 10 o'clock. The open house and tea on December 11 was also announced.

Adrienne Arnold was presented in an interesting arrangement of Verdi's "Donna Mobile" from the famous opera, "Rigoletto." She is the first student at the Orange County School of Fine Arts Nursery School to graduate and be eligible for a diamond set in her achievement pin. She began her lessons at the age of four and continued through the past seven years. Norma Tews, who also completed her piano work at the studio this past summer season, appeared on the program reading "Peace On Earth." Norma has been a speech student of Lois Rees Auer for the past several years and she received the first diamond presented to a speech student of the fine arts school. Her excellent interpretation of the characters held the undivided attention of each of the guests until the last moment when she concluded this beautiful story. Three contrasting numbers very definitely showed the artistry of the young student when David Hanson played, the first of these three numbers, being Tschaikowsky's "Andante" from the Fifth Symphony with an accompaniment of recorded music played by the Philadelphia Symphonic orchestra; the second number, an arrangement of "Rhapsody in Blue" by Gershwin accompanied by a recording by Andre Kostelanetz and his orchestra. Phyllis Officer, guest reader on the program, gave a delightful interpretation of "The Doctor of Crow Hollow," a human interest story.
