The Decora Study Club met Nov. 10, with second vice-president Lillian Alex presiding.

Hostess for the day was Margaret Phelps. Betty Marr led the collect. Alex led the pledge to the American flag and the Texas flag. Alex thanked Zada Watkins and Jacquie Fritz who served on the social committee. She also thanked Norma Franz and Eileen Fowler who served on the membership committee.
