O'KEEFE HEARS TALK ABOUT LEE MANSION

O'Keefe is honored that Mrs. Walter D. Lamar, one of Georgia's most prominent citizens, addressed the school in the assemblies last week.  She made a talk on Stratford, the Lee mansion of the Potomac, which the U. D. C. is now restoring.  Mrs. Lamar is director of the Robert E. Lee Memorial.  The school is making replicas of Stratford in miniature during the next month and a prize of $5 is offered for the best of these.

The latest and surely encouraging club organized at O'Keefe is the Junior Birdman Club, under the supervision of T. P. Fiske.  Stuart Grey is flight commander; Kirby Malone, treasurer; John Cothran, secretary; and Phillips, captain.  All members were treated to a show last Saturday at the Paramount theater at 10:30 o'clock and saw the picture titled "Devil Dogs of the Air."

The assembly last Friday was conducted in honor of George Washington's birthday.  Jean McIntosh presided and the different parts and stages in Washington's life were featured.  Ion Miller told of his love of children.  Gloria Elliot delivered a speech entitled "Farewell, My Gentlemen, Farewell."  Following this, Roger Stokey gave a dramatic sketch on Washington's inauguration.  John Beall talked on the wedding at Mount Vernon, and Jean McIntosh closed an interesting program with an oral questionnaire on points in Washington's life.

Another active club of the school is the Reading Club, conducted by the librarian, Miss Near.  The officers are Pauline Lyndon, president; Ruth Morris, vice president; Pat Campbell, secretary; Martha Eunice Duggan, treasurer, and Griffin Carmichael, log reporter.

ELISE DOWLING.

​O'Keefe is honored that Mrs. Walter D.

Stratford, the Lee mansion, should be not be confused with Arlington House, Robert E. Lee's home near Washington DC.
The UDC is the United Daughters of the Confederacy.  This honoring of Robert E. Lee in a public school is the reason that I've included this item in: Of course I wonder if this was the occasion that my Uncle Bill told me about decades later, in which young Roger told his classmates that Robert E. Lee was a traitor.

​Wikipedia says:
Devil Dogs of the Air (a.k.a. Flying Marines) is a 1935 American action comedy-drama film directed by Lloyd Bacon and starring James Cagney and Pat O'Brien, playing similar roles as close friends after making their debut as a "buddy team" in Here Comes the Navy. Devil Dogs of the Air was the second of nine features that James Cagney and Pat O'Brien made together. The film's storyline was adapted from a novel by John Monk Saunders.
Sounds like fun.

Really?  Somehow I've never heard that George Washington loved children.  But maybe he did.

Roger Stokey gave a dramatic sketch on Washington's inauguration.
Given the context, I'm sure that the dramatic sketch was totally serious, but somehow I keep thinking of other possibilities.  Shame on me.
