Hospital ball
big success
“Happy Birthday, America”
was the theme of the fourteenth
annual Hospital Auxiliary ball
held last night at the Elks Club.
Two soldiers guarded the

members of the auxiliary in the
lobby where there was a
homespun scene of early
America.
The main ballroom had dual
shimmering tiered chandeliers
and red and blue balls floating
in the air. On one wall a huge
United States map decorated
with the stars and stripes with
the letters Happy Birthday over
it
Birthday cakes were
everywhere. One gigantic cake
on wall had 200th anniversary
on it.
The dining room had red
candles, white stars and blue
streamers. The buffet table was
flanked on each end with
matching five branch silver
<candleabras with lighted red
tapers.
Dinner was served from 7 to 9
with musical selections by Mrs.
Emily Harris at the piano.
Music to dance by was
furnished by the Junkshuns.
Mrs. Lome Shewfelt,
president of the auxiliary
extended a welcome to guests

Daniel
completes
Ph.D work
Harold T. Daniel of
McDonough, former
superintendent of Pike County
Schools, has completed work
toward his doctor of education
degree from Nova University in
Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The 59-year-old educator
thinks no one is too old for
higher education. He began the
program in 1973, along with 35
other Georgia educators and
was the first to finish his
requirements.
Dr. Daniel already held a six
year specialist in education
degree, a master of education
degree and a B.S. degree in
journalism.
The program is unique in that
Nova professors fly to Griffin
from Florida for a Saturday
each month to teach educators
in an all day session. The
professors are leaders in their
fields and most wrote the
textbooks they use in class.
