The Sacramento Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club No. 5 whose meeting was held on November 17th goes down in the annals of Hoo-Hoo-Ettes as one of the outstanding affairs of its kind held in this relatively young Fraternal Order of Lumber women in the Industry.

Annual Bosses Night Dinner brought out the leading men of the Sacramento area in mass.

The meeting was held at the El Nlirador l{otel, Sacramento, on November lTth and opened with a "h"ppy hour" 6:59 and moved smoothly into a "sparkling" dinner without any speakers but with a well managed program presided over by President Mitzie Finch. Marcelle Day, Mary Caplis and Betty Faris had charge of the arrangements. There were prizes galore.

More than 85 lumber ladies and gents celebrated Annual Company Night on November 14, at A. Sabella's on San Francisco's famed Fisherman's Wharf. The annual event is sponsored by San Francisco Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 3, and anyone connected with the forest products industry is welcome.

Tl-ris year's party, which got underway in Sabella's Capri Room at 6:09 p.m., was terrned the "best Company Nite ever" by both the lumber guys and gals. Everyone had a ball, plenty of good fellowship, excellent "scenery," a banquet second to none, dancing, the works. Winner of the raffle was Bo Shibley who went home a hero with a beautiful flower center piece.

For those unfortunates who didn't make the party the accompanying photos will show them what they missed. Hats off to San Francisco Hoo-Hoo-Ette Club 3-and especially president Julia Marbach of Dant & Warnock, Inc.-for an exceptionally enjoyable evening "on the town."

Thumbs Down on "All Work And No Ploy"

On the theory that diversion is essential to survival todav. an Architects' I{obby Show, featuring the extra-curricular activities of Southern California architects, opened December l8 in the galleries of The Building Exhibit Center, 7933 \A/est Third Street.

Visitors to the Center rvill view over 50 paintings, etchings and watercolors shown by such architects as Richard Neutra and Quincy Jones. Architect Wallace Neff's study of head proportions to determine real biological age, as r,vell as suitability of marital or love partners is just one of the "out-of-theordinary" hobbies. Many of these leisure time occupations have been successful on the market, as the trick-shot toy gun of Ralph Crosby, which was featured recently on the Jack Paar Show.

\,Vomen architects are rePresented bv Rose Connor who exhibits her handcir.recl, tongue and groove Philippine mahogany table complete with secret drawers. Also included are Photographs, poetry, wood carvings, lamPs, furniture, copper enameled panels, mobiles, jewelry, bonsai planters, sculpture atrd Christmas cards-all hand fashioned by architects.

Definitely unusual and interesting, the exhibition will continue through January 15 and is open to the Public week-days from 9:00 A.M. to 5 :00 P.M. and Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.N{.
