Crossroads
Club meets Nov. 13
By HELEN RAIFORD
The Home Demonstration Club met
Nov. 13 at the home of Mrs. Annette
Hagg with 16 members present.
Acting president Hilda Fletcher led
our meeting in a very interesting dis-
cussion.
We, as a club, visited three ladies with
a love gift of food boxes.
Our club discussed our plans for a
Christmas supper in December.
Helen Raiford and Ruth Barron had a
fun-filled White Elephant sale with a
nice profit.
Hostess Annette presented Manis
LeBlanc with a nice door prize and
served delicious refreshments to the
oup
advances to first one lovely lady and
then another, the sceptor of reign was
finally handed to this year's Qtreen
Emily Heine.
Then the process began again as the
identity of the king was about to be
revealed. The krewe's captain teased
first one tuxedoed gentleman and then
another with the sceptor, making her
way around the mammoth ballroom as
she did so, finally stopping at the table
of Dr. Howes. Here she left the sceptor, r
and the Krewe of Iris had its Mardi Gras
King of 1987.
Then followed a royal promenade of
the entire court, followed by a dance
reserved to the royals, this followed by a
night of dancing to the tunes of a large
dance band, followed by a midnight
champagne breakfast.
The reign of King Randolph of Pan-
chatoula has begun!
