THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
“We are not to blame for
coming into this world —
but we ALONE are respon
sible for what we make of
ourselves after we are here

WE SALUTE MEN OF KAP
PA ALPHA PSI Fraternity —
the first Greek organization to
entertain their friends this
year . . . YES, KAPPA MEN
who make up the Jackson
Alumni chapter were hosts to
hundreds of beautifully dress
ed ladies and their correctly
attired escorts on Friday eve
ning last — guests who came
from every nook and corner
of the state, to pack-jam,
swank Stevens Rose Room
and overflow into the Lounge
—guests who from the first
notes that came from those
music-makers from down HAT
TIESBURG WAY, until good
nite was said, seemed to have
had but one desire — one pur
pose — and that was to enjoy
to the fullest the pleasures
made possible by their popular
hosts . . . Coming early, we
were lucky to get a choice
table which we shared with
our young brother-in-law, NA
. THANIEL BRISCO and the
charming school-marm, AR
GIE WELLS . . .we were
also among the first to get one
of the beautiful souveniers
passed out by our host — a
handsome genuine leather —
Billfold, quite the thing to
hold all the money, paper and
silver that we do not possess.
From where we were seated
could be seen the huge lighted
KAPPA ENSIGNIA that was a
constant reminder to every
guest as to whim they were in
debted for the delightful eve
ning ... As usual, we had the
time of our lives and were
happy to say ‘Hi’ to just
‘oodles’ of friends . . . especi
ally to ALICE BROWN
SMITH, Who deserved our
educational circles this year to
work at Grambling in Louis
iana . . . the McDowells and
Smiths from Greenwood; the
T. J. Ranee from Brookhaven;
the O’Neals from McComb; the
Wilsons from Hattiesburg;
charming Lois Young Daniels
from Meridian; we were happy
to receive reports of their ac
tivities from the Mrs. Douglas
Parris, and Miss Tommie An
derson to send on to our son,
william narvey, wno win oe
delighted to hear of Douglas’
■work at Meharry and Tommie’
excellent record at Indiana U.
. . . Introduction of KAPPA
MEN, proved again that they
not only were ENTERTAIN
ERS SUPREME, but that they
excel in Business and the Pro
fessions . . . For a most enjoy
able party we say THANKS

mood was the setting for the
fifth annual presentation bj

of its owner, LAURA BELLI
in a showing of her Creation;
and Collections and from the
charming and versatile L’DI
AN ROBINSON, as narrator,
began to unfold Laura Belles’
message of “SURPRISES IN
FASHION” until the last mod
el appeared, the audience of
smartly gowned, fashioned
wised ladies and their escorts
set entranced in tribute to the
artistry and creative ability of
Laura Belle . . . This year’s
show was presented in a most
unique way — each lovely
model was enclosed in a huge
box that had been Christmas
wrapped and placed around
the dance floor. Assigned to
un-wrap the boxes was the
handsome, DR. DAVID, lead
ing optometrist of the city,
whose elegant manner of as
sisting the models to the re
volving disk placed in the cen
ter of the floor, was exceeded
only by the pretty model and
the advance Laura Belle crea- i
tion . . . This Year’s Show
began with “AT HOME GLAM- I
uuk un uajn rs ana teaturea
models Lue Ella Johnson, Le
nora Gilmer and Argie Wells

ling Laura Belle Creations
were worn by Models, Cather
ine Thomas, Barbara Barber,
Mary Reuben, Melony Jones,
Margaret Norman, Clarise
Jenkins, Lula Lee Grisson,
Brenda Moman . . . Perhaps
the most outstanding of Laura
Belle’ creations were the party
dresses that contained 55 yards
of material, shown by models,
Jeanette Young and Norma
Ruth Byrd . . . Guest Models
this year were the lovely Mat
tie Rundles, whose appearance,
both in the Furred Suit and
Blue Silk Peau de Soie Dress
brought loud applause from
the audience; and Mae Mor
ton, visitors here from San
Francisco whose Lilli Ann
Suit was perfect for the occa
sion . . . Added attractions
this year, was the interpertive
dancing of Wycliffe Moore, Le
dora and Steve Brown; the
solo dance by Catherine
Slaughter; and the perform
ance by members of the Lanier
Majorettes, accompanied by
Fredrick Waits on the drums
. . . Music was made by Mrs.
Aurelia Young . . . also assist
ing in the narrating were, Ra
dio personalities, James Run
dles and Bill Spencer; high
light of the evening was the
presentation of Laura Bells
Bronze Dolls. Assisting in this
year’s production were: Daisy
Fisher, Adean Davis, Jessie
Mae Crawley, Roland Powell,
Sarah M. Harvey, Willie Sing

BRANCH “Y” INITIATES
TRAINING PROGRAM
Preparatory to going into a
new building facility, the Far
ish Street Branch of the Y. M.
C. A. officials have considered
and approved a leadership
training, or orientation, series
which ics to be offered to all
members of the Association
with special emphasis for those
members in committee service
and other places of leadership
in the Y. M. C. A.
This orientation series is be
ing planned to cover the six
basic areas of Y. M. C. A. pro
gramming; namely, History
and Philosophy of the Y. M.
C. A., Gym-Swim Program, Y.
M. C. A. Day Camp, Summer
Camp, the Four Fronts of Boys
Work, Leadership in the Y. M.
C. A., and the Role of the Lay

There is felt to be a great
need for this type of direction
as the Branch Y. M. C. A. gets
ready to expand its program,
membership, and membership
services. The Y. M. C. A. Pro
gram Committee, chaired by J.
D. Hardy, has been named
Steering Committee for this
project; and, said committee is
working very closely with the
general Secretary, C. S. Lenz,
to secure top-level instruction
in each of these fields of Y.
M. C. A. work.
The training series is to cov
er a six-week period, beginning
January 9th, 1958. Committee
men are herein alerted to pre
pare themselves and their sche
dules in order to take advant
age of this pioneer feature
which is almost a “must” if the
Association is to continue to
make the progress it should
and be able to give efficient
service to its members.
Registration is expected to
proceed to full speed by mid
December. The General Secre
tary is presently making con
tacts on behalf of this project
to secure, if possible, one or
two experts from the staff oi
the Southern Area Council in
Atlanta to serve as instructors
or consultants in the program.
The Steering Committee is
meeting on Thursday, Decern
ber 5th, to make further plans
in setting up the course so thal
it may be of maximum benefit
to the greatest number ol
members.
