Enjoy London and
Mrs. Nelson Cundiff recently ac-
companied her son Jim Cundiff of
Tulsa, on a trip to London and Paris.
They visited Meryl's niece and her
family in Weybridge Surrey U. K. and
saw so many of the fabulous sights,
touring the Tower of London where
they saw the Crown Jewels. One dia-
mond in the royal sceptre is the
largest cut diamond in the world (530
carats). They went to Windsor Castle,
Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's
Cathedral. Saw the changing of the
guards at Buckingham Palace, also
went to Hampton Court Palace, the
early home of Henry VIII.
They enjoyed riding in a London
cab and a double decker bus. They
saw Big Ben and the Parliament
Square, Trofalga Square, the River
Thames, Picadilly Circus and went
shopping at Harrod's and in Carnaby
Street.
They went into the Great Maze
{and got out) also saw No. 10 Down-
ing St. and went to Stonehenge and
the city of Winchester and saw Win-
chester Cathedral where King Ar-
thur's round table is on display.
Meryl and Jim hired a car in Lon-
don and drove to Dorset where
Meryl's mother grew up. They spent
the night with a cousin of Meryl's and
met three other cousins that they had

never met before. They looked up
M eryl's mother's childhood home and
the church she attended. The old
church cemetery is where Meryl's
grandparents are buried, so it was
very interesting tracing back to their
roots. In the church was a memorial
to the WWI and WWII dead, and
they saw Meryl's unde's name re-
corded. He died while serving on the
HMS Queen Mary in WWI.
From London they went to Paris,
France where they had three days of
sightseeing. They walked along the
Champo Elysses and saw the Arc De
Triomphe, the Hotel DeVille, The
Louvre, the Grand Grand Opera
House, the Sacre Cuer (a magnificent
cathedral), also Notre Dame and the
Palace of Versailles. They went up in-
to the Eifel Tower. There was so much
to see in so little time.
All this in such a short time after
Meryl and her husband Nelson and
Jim had gone to an October family
reunion in Australia. On this trip the
trio had a day in Honolulu, three days
in New Zealand and while in Australia
went to Canberra, Australia's capitol
territory and to Cairn's in North
Queensland where they went out on-
to the Great Barrier Reef in a glass
bottomed boat for viewing the reef.
They went to Green Island which was
really a tropical paradise.
They really had a truly wonderful
yacat~on and enjoyed a great reunion
with Meryl's family.
Since returning, the family has had
a niece of Meryl s and her two
daughters from Australia visiting for
a week. It's been an exciting six
months for the Cundiff family.

Young folk must think up
some kind of outdoor ac-
tivities In an early day in this coun-
try, boys and girls had to make
their own activities. The boys took
to playing marbles, wearing the
knees of their overalls thin to
threadbare. Mothers sometimes
had to patch britches and wash
often to keep their smallfry presen-
table. They also played mumble peg
with their two bladed pocket knives
on the school playground. Marbles
was sometimes played for keeps.
The girls made their own entertain-
ment, playing Hop Scotch on
sidewalks by marking off spaces
with chall~ They also loved to play
a game called Jacks, with a rubber
ball, rather small, and steel jacks.
You could buy these at a novelty
store or Kresses. They enjoyed
these a lot. Time passed quickly at
recess or noontime for them.
Older young people both male
and female, enjoyed the game of
croquet. It was played on a smooth
cleaned off court and very much en-
joyed on Sunday aftemoc~ or
Saturdays, when not working in the
crops. I know my father cleaned off.
with Attic's help, and erected the
steel hoops required, after ordering
a set of croquet from Sears,
Roebuck catalogue. Young people
would come on special afternoons
and holidays to play. It was an ac-
tivity that went over big.
Young people gathered at the
Bellis homestead with Kodaks, of
an early make, to go back on Eagle
Mountain for picture taking.
Couples paired off and courting
• their best girl often resulted. Often
these matches did not last long but
one or two matured with marriage
and some are still growing old
around old Basi~ It was a way for
young people and sometimes elders
to spend a happy Sunday after-
noorL Later, coming off the hill,
they wandered thru our dooryard to
stop at the Bellis ho~ne, where
mother or someone played the
organ and sang church songs until
time for evening service.
We called the building where we
had Sunday school and other s~r~
vices the Hall. At Singing School
the teacher would charge a small fee
to teach us to sing by note. For a
week or more we tried to train for
bass, soprano, alto or tenor,
whatever voice was suitable as the
teacher advised.
Later in life, as the years grew in
numbers, folk got so they could af-
ford a phonograph that played
records. Some were so prosperous
they could afford tobuy many of
the latest hits that came ouc and
put on records for folk to buy, and
many listened long hours enjoying
every new record such as, "Pretty
Red Wing, .... It's a Long Way to
Tipperary" and "Round Her Neck
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon," and
many late World War songs and
musicals. A victrola as they called
it then finally decked, just about
every household during those years.
Soon a stack of records would ac-
cumulate. I remember my first
machine I ordered from Sears. It
cost $125. Quite a piece of money
at that time. A whole teacher's
salary for a month. This was great
entertainnmet for the whole fami-
ly and friends.
Traveling With Ephraim
Florence's and my visit to the
Guthrie Masonic Temple last week
brought back memories of the Na-
tional Theater of Costa Rice. Both
edifices were built out of a felt need
for art centers in developing com-
munities. Both were designed by
utilizing traditional architecture
and art Out of Europe and Asia--'
with no financial limitation on the
ultimate design.
The Guthrie temple was the crea-
tion of a New York architectural
team, Marien and Katharine David-
son. European craftsmen were '~hn-
ported" to work on the building.
Undoubtedly the Scottish Rite
leadership had a hand in setting the
stage for the overall plan; Scottish
Rite symbolism and history is
featured through out the building.
Katharine Davidson elaborately
detailed the interior design of the
structure.
The various rooms, however, each
has a particular theme. Even the of.
fice has a style all its own--15th
Century Renaissance The entry
hall is in the style of the ancient
Roman Empire. There is a
Pompeiian room, an Assyrian room,
a Crystal room (18th Century
English), a Gothic library, the
Italian Lounge, the Egyptian room,
King Solomon's Arch. Other rooms
carry out themes probably stemm-
ing from Mrs. Davidson's mind--
each is unique in itself and
elaborate in detail.
This was. not the first Masonic
temple in Guthrie. The first was
constructed downtown soon after
the 1889 opening. The stained glass
FORMER PERKINS STUDENT
CELEBRATES 25th
Festivities began with a 6 p. m.
Mass on Saturday, April 15, with
