Transcript | Jeffery Residents Work on Socio And Civic Needs Jeffery House enjoyed a year of social and philanthropic activity in and out of its halls. Residents of the dorm sponsored a dance each semester, held Christmas and Spring Open Houses, threw a Halloween Party and participated in intramural sports. As their major service project, Jeffery women visited and made goodies for patients of the Texas Rehabilitation Center. To further a pleasant living atmosphere for its members, Jeffery House devised a "pixie" system in which each coed drew the name of another and did something nice for her. In return the one being "pixied" gave a gift to the mysterious helper after she revealed herself. Residents honored their own members at an end-of-the-year party where key awards were presented to girls who did outstanding work for the dorm. Kay Fernald plays a peculiar witch who rides a bicycle instead of a broom. She won the Best Halloween Skit award for her satire on life at Jeffery House. FRONT ROW: Dianne Donnell (president), Mimi Ewing (secretary-treasurer), Pixie Prengle (social chairman), Carla Rosson, Linda Plummer, Susan Guinn, Mattie Kirk (sponsor). BACK ROW: Seldon Bryant, Sharon Daniel, Regina Reimer, Sharon Staring, Kathy Wilson, Gail Hollenshead, Sandy Taylor, Irene Immerman, Roberta Abelman. 389 |
