The following slate of officers was elected: President, Dot Perry; 1st Vice President, Doris Bleakley; 2nd Vice President, Boots Grabb; Secretary, Marge Beshers; Treasurer, Betty Sommers; Directors, Bunny Roland, Bess (Bolinger) Sanford, and Mary Roy. Others attending were Grace Surgeon, Marge Hopkins, Charlotte Robuck, Marie Riel and Kaye Saylor.
