In the absence of Mrs. Skinner, her memories were related by Mrs. H. E. Rasmussen.

Sharp contrasts were drawn between the days when the busy lomemaker's washday began with drawing water from the well, heating it on the old cookstove, trans- erring it by womanpower to the wooden tubs, followed by the backbreaking rubbing with homemade soap the endless mounds of fam- ly wash, with today's effortless 'turn the dial" methods and were memories to ponder over.

The Christmas tree, glorified with strings of popcorn and berries and dangerously lighted with small candles which stood in the old courthouse, which served as a temple of justice week-days and was converted into a place of worship for Sundays, were highlights of a past brought vividly to the present by Mrs. Skinner's memor ies. The community participation in the two great celebrations of the early days--Memorial Day and Independence Day--were recalled and Mrs. Skinner described her active part in Austin's celebrations. Such once familiar names --public square, hitching posts, sur reys and wagons--all recalled the days when run aways were as treacherous and fatal as are now the automobile crashes.

Commencement exercises, home talent plays, traveling shows, concerts and lectures of the days gone by serve to remind present day Austinites that they have much in common with their kinfolk of yesteryear. Austin was ever eager and growing. The travels along memory lane included a resume of the old Main Street buildings, and shopkeepers and their wares--vastly dif ferent through the years--and Mrs. Skinner has vivid recollec tions of the day she charged i Urge world atlas a birthday gift which surprised her father --at the stationer and drug firm; Of Dorr and Wold. 1 The new high school, which, toj Mrs.

Skinner as a girl, seemed to stand higher than her present day impressions of the Empire State Building, was of questionable serviceability, since it was the common opinion of the times that Austin "would never have enough children to fill it!" Marvelous as was the new three- story brick structure, Mrs. Skinner particularly remembered the sanitary section of the then up- o-date school. The two low frame Holdings--painted red--were separated by a high fence. The "girl's compartment" with its 10 on the north and five on the south--each featured a teavy board nailed above at a 45-degree angle, to insure against too much comfort and to discourage idling. Mrs.

Skinner entered the school at the age of five and was graduated with the class 1881. She was a busy teacher i UIMei1 Omaha, when she received word that the building had burned, leaving only her memories of the days psssed in its walls. Club members attended in centennial dress. The program also Included an original poem by Mrs. Tayne Hines, read by Mrs.

Kate Stacy, who also read an ad taken from the Austin Herald some fifty-odd years ago. Solos were sung by Gordon Fogdall, accompanied by Mrs. Fogdall at the piano, and an original poem by Mrs. Skinner, read by Mrs. Fred Ulmer.

Hostesses were Mrs. H. W. Hurbut and Mrs. Stacy.
