Despite our vow to diet we first sampled Mrs W . W. Oaks’. CMCH. sand wiches <she is without peer as a caleressi and then must chose <in line of duty of course > at least three of the eight cookies prepared from the cookbook recipes With apologies to the fami ly scale, we must admit our favorites were oatmeallace. coconut corn flake and the second biggest attraction, after the cookbook, the custardfilled peaches made by

Mrs Richard (Rita.) Denver of Avalon. They are almost too gorgeous to eat but how yummy! The recipe is in the book and Mrs Denver suggested using mint leaves to top them off Seashore Seasonings is available for sale at the hospital gift shop. County Library or from anmy member of the Stone Harbor Avalon BTMH Auxiliary WE WERE TALKING to Thelma Yaeger, who with husband Ed. managed St. Mary's Church fbur of Por tugal and Madeira Ed had just completed a scrapbook of the trip and Thelma remembered she hadn't told us about John Curio's (he owns Pebbles Guest House at 94(H) 1st Ave i con tribution to their enjoyment of the trip. John, a teacher at South Phila High, had given Ed many tips to points of interest shops, restaurants etc on the island of Madeira before they left When they arrived at the Palacio Madiera Hotel he was on hand to greet them It was just great seeing a face from home.' said Thelma John's mother. Isabelle Curto, has been active in the S H Women's Civic Club for years. This year she's doing their auditing with Bra Shissler. 425 99th St. John is the same kind of community contributor - he took the gals on shoppng tours of Estoril and everybody to local highlights He enriched the trip for every par

ticipant and "they were all so grateful for his help." according to Thelma. EASTER WEEKEND and the preceding and following days were busy ones. The Ray deLaurentisos. 10902 2nd Ave., had 22, all family, and many stayed for as long as a week; the Andrew Wollerys. 8523 3rd Ave., had IS members of their brood with them and Ted and Dick Owen*. 10905 2nd Ave., who have had a miserable winter healthwise. hosted 20 on Easter which happened to coincide with Dick's 80th birthday. Dick was so pleased — members of every genera tion showed up. Speaking of birthdays, we went to a lovely, intimate 89th B-day luncheon for Frank Adkins. 408 99th St., who does not appear to be 70. He told us he has a brother 99 so it must run in the family. The party was held at Henny’s and ever the watchful host. Henry Blum came over to greet us On learning it was Frank's natal day he sent a treat to all the guests Somehow a luncheon (with that special touch of class, men) always makes us feel young again but Matt Woolery and this scribe were due at a KIT (Keeping in Touch) meeting, hosted by Anne Townley, wife of the builder and aviator, at her dreamy home overlooking the swimming pool and the sea. Meetings are generally Dullsville, KIT meetings are serious, sometimes even sad, but any meeting incorporating the wit of Anne Townley and Alexandra Kokonos also has to be fun. This was the perfect finishing touch to a great spring day.

UNDER THE over all supervision of R. Donald Wendorff, Superintendent of S.H. Elementary School, our young students are putting Stone Harbor on the map, scholastically speaking. To induce divergent and creative thinking among students all pupils are encouraged to participate in Olympics of the Mind. The competition exists among seven schools in the Cape May and Atlantic Counties. Our school won a first in the League Competition for older students of Elementary Schools. The fiveperson team under the direct tutelage of Esther Pacitti consisted of Pam Meadowcroft. Laura Harrison. Katie Buff. Jennie Sellers and Denise Pfaltzgraff. Their projec* was to construct a car propelled soley by springs (as in garage doors) They went on to win first in the Regionals. consisting of 44 schools, and are now preparing to compete in the state competition made up of the 10 best in each category of every school in the state! Division I is for younger students This team which is taught by Marianne Moore, won second place in the Regional and will also go to the state competition April 13 at Woodbridge. On the seven-person team are: Matt Ault, Tracy Taylor, Amy Dougherty, Mary Adam*. Carrie Licata, Kristin Buff and Tom William*. In each event students bring with them a long-term project and are given a spontaneous problem to solve. They are also graded on a style of action i.e. dance, song, skit, or art work. We can’t tell you participants how proud we are o' you all.t
