Scope and Contents

An excerpt from the newspaper clipping reads as follows:

It was the affair of the year for the Golden Agers of Hallie Q. Brown Community House, 553 Aurora Ave., Tuesday afternoon. Choosing to offer a display of craft work and "then and now" fashions, the senior citizens' group topped off a laughter-filled afternoon with tea and a delicious array of crumpets and tidbits.
Being knighted by Boreas Rex (John Donahue) can be an awesome process, discovered Mrs. John Patton, Golden Agers director of activities, second from left, and Mrs. Bernice Pauley, the group's president. After being solemnly ordered to stand at attention and pass muster, the two women received their scrolls and a beaming smile from Queen of the Snows Mary LaFond.
Miss Ethelwyn Bailey, 611 Sherburne Ave., sat on the tree-bedecked stage all through the "now" fashion show. Dressed in "then" fashion, Miss Bailey pursed her lips and shook her head in mock dismay at pants dresses and short skirts. But when 11-year-old Yolande Bruce, 652 Iglehart Ave., materialized in ankle-length white dimity, Miss Bailey dissolved in rapturous approval.
