1950 President’s Message “Your Club Year is ready to begin. With the knowledge that our nation is facing a period of severe strife and unrest, both internally and internationally, we do not have to go outside of our own community to help. Let us be good citizens and help shoulder some of the responsibilities that come in times of such emergencies. Its not so much what we do in this world that counts as HOW we do it. While we are aiming for perfection it is well to remember that perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well. This little book is the Key to your Club Year USE IT, My deepest gratitude to all who helped compile our yearbook. My wish for you is one of health, happiness, and peace. Most sincerely, Mrs. H. Waite Gerry”
