3 Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1953 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Social and Club Activities IRENE JULIAN SOCIETY EDITOR Phone 2206 BPW Presents Avocation Program To Future Business Women At St. Patrick's Dinner The Anaheim Business and Professional Woman's club met last week for the regular dinner meeting and annual avocation program, at the Dragon Cafe. The banquet room was gaily reminiscent of a "bit of Old Ireland", with its festive St. Patrick decor. Masses of white carnations with green-tinted edges were placed throughout the hall, and lovely carnation and green satin ribbon corsages, were graciously presented to members and guests. The dining tables were centered with Irish potatoes, little fat green pigs, shamrocks, and green and gold lyres and accented with lovely red camellias. President Ida May Walberg opened the business meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance, and introduction of guests. The annual avocation program features girls from various high schools and colleges as honored guests. They were Lois Swint, Charlene Chapman, Nila Kozloosky, Judy Friday, Mary Dougherty, Joan Habbert, Cella Cherry, Beverly Buckner, Joan Faessel, Janet Nickey, Judy Boos, Caroline Poyet, Doris Rouland, Marlyn Lotz, Patty Jo Fri, and Dorothy Harryman. Another special guest was Laura E. Johnson of Red Wing, Minn., where she is a member of the BPW. Presenting the musical program were Frances Cowee, pianist, and Nancy Cummings, violinist who opened their program with "Meditation from Thais". The duet was played with skilled technique and expression. Miss Cowee delighted her listeners with her gay and amusing comments on her solo, the expressive, lilting Mozart Minuet "The Little White Donkey", which she executed in a most delightful fashion. Marjorie Pibel, vocation chairman, introduced Marguerite Waters, dean of women at Fullerton Junior college, featured speaker, whose topic was "Women in Business." Miss Waters, laced her inspirational message to the young future business women with a charming wit that captivated her attentive audience. She gave the girls amusing tips on campus behavior when entering college, and some of the aspects and problems encountered in a career in the business world. Chairmen for the enjoyable and interesting evening were Eleanor Ashleigh, Buelah Hineman and Verna Hopkins.

Some are homemakers who satisfy a yen for beauty by using this acquired knowledge to make their homes more lovely. Others combat a disability by working with flowers as a means of therapy. Students range from small children to elderly men and women and some of Mrs. Abott's enthusiasm and way with flowers rubs off on each one of them. Beehive of Activity The school which is located at 11212 S. Los Angeles st., is a beehive of activity all day and far into the evening. Pruella Abbott uses its activities to carry on a thriving retail floral business from 6 a.m. until 1 p.m. each day. She imports fresh flowers daily and makes several trips to the Los Angeles flower mart each week to be sure of exquisite blooms for her wedding work, special table arrangements and 25 different types of corsages. This aspect of the school is of great practical importance to students who plan to go into the business field. Once this retail trade is taken care of for the day, the classes start. Pruella Abbott gives courses for professional florists, and regular adult classes for amateurs, several of which are part of the evening high school setup. She also teaches special therapy classes and gives private lessons as well. High School Class The class we visited on Tuesday evening was an Anaheim evening high school class where 20 homeowners were working with the actual flowers for the first time. They were fortified with the knowledge Pruella Abbott effectively dispenses by lecture, by example, and by means of a series of valuable colored slides. The air was heavily perfumed with the scent of sweetpeas, carnations, stocks and jonquils that the ladies had selected from the gorgeous assortment on display in a glassed refrigerator room. So absorbed were the students in their task of arranging spring flowers against a background of exotic leaves, lately flown in from Hawaii that they neither looked up nor spoke till the work was finished. Then as the class began to buzz and congregate for comment, it was highly apparent that each bouquet was notable for its color grouping and pleasing lines as well as for the appropriate blend of flowers with ceramics. If these be beginners, what is the work of advanced students like? "As we grow in grace, so we grow in the art of floral arrangements," said our first lady of the flowers. She indicated that the class would go on to special table decorations, presentation bouquets, corsages and intricate bows. Famed Lecturer Famed for her many innovations... IT'S A LORTUFT Notice that every single tuft goes through to the back—is locked in to stay. This process gives the carpet body so that it stays in position, even when being vacuumed. Famed Lecturer Famed for her many innovations in the floral field, a number of which have been patented, Pruella Abbott is much in demand as a lecturer throughout the country. Lately she has begun to limit herself to one lecture tour a year so as to keep up with her heavy teaching schedule. She used to make a point of attending school herself at every opportunity until she found those schools most highly recommended were being taught by her own students. So sought after are these students of hers that she maintains a sort of unofficial employment agency where the demand far exceeds the supply. None are recommended by her until thoroughly schooled in every phase of modern floristry. A perfectionist steeped in her work, Pruella Abbott has advice not only for those who would work with flowers, but those who receive them as well. "Arrange your bouquets in 'Snowpack,'" she says. "It is a crumbly plastic material that looks exactly like its name sounds. Fill your vase with it first and insert the stems of your flowers in it as a base. When your arrangement is finished, add another new product, 'Floral Life' to the water to prolong the life of your cut flowers five to ten days." "Corn" usually refers to the important cereal crop of the nation; wheat in England, oats in Scotland and Ireland and maize in the United States, says the National Geographic society. Benjamin Franklin PTA Features Scout Program The Benjamin Franklin PTA last week in the Fremont pool cafeteria with a program presented by the Girl Scouts, Dawnies and Cub Scouts.
