CAROLYN RAGAN contributes the recipe for a dessert that
is elegant, delicious, and different. In addition to all this, it is
practical.
At the annual meeting of the
Japan-America Society held on
the evening of February 5 in the
Olympic Hotel in Olympia,
Roberta McClary was awarded the
first place trophy for her Haiku
entered in the contest sponsored
by the group.
Haiku is an unrhymed
Japanese verse form in which a
mood is created in three lines, the
first of which contains five
syllables; the second, seven
syllables; and the third, five
syllables. This is Mrs. McClary's
winning Haiku:
"Tiny little seed,
What do you hold in your heart?
Tell us your secret."
Mrs. McClary and her husband
Hal, who is vice president and
general manager with Simpson
International, have been for
approximately nine years
members of the Japan-America
Society which has been developed
to promote friendly relations,
mutual understanding and
cultural exchange between the
two nations.
Roberta McClary has made
five trips to Japan, and since the
first one has been studying
Japanese art and literature. She
had not previously entered a
competition.
She has for the past 15 years
been a member of a book
discussion Class at the Women's
University Club and during 1968
and 1969 Japanese classical and
contemporary literature was
studied.
In 1963 the McClarys brought
from Japan Keiko Fujimura, who
lary'
ai
lived with them as a daughter for
two and a half years while
attending the University of
Washington and taking a degree in
anthropology. She is one of five
Oriental students that have been
sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Hal
McClary.
Roberta McClary has been a
resident of this area since 1955,

ducks, part Mallard and part
something else. They are friendly
and talkative, dedicated to the
project of slug-eradication, and at
present busily engaged in sharing
the responsibilities of a nestful of
eggs.
Craig, who is eight years old,
and Debbie, who is seven, await
the hatching with eagerness, and
what is of interest to the children
is of interest to Carolyn and John.
The Ragans follow many
recreational pursuits as a family,
one of which is travel. They not
only believe in seeing America
first, but in seeing Washington
first of all.
"Washington," says Carolyn,
"abounds in points of interest and
beauty; we want to see them." It
is their habit to take short but
leisurely trips, and to make them
frequently.
They all like to swim, and do
so as a group; each of them owns
a bicycle, and they enjoy
bicycling as a family; they all like
horses and often ride together at
Lake Limerick.
When her children were
younger, Mrs. Ragan was very
active in pre-school. One of her
main interests now is the Mary
Bridge Orthopedic Guild, to
which she gives much of her time
and effort. She is a member of the
t]ospital Auxiliary, and she
belongs to the Southside PTO and
to the Republican Women's Club.
She is also affiliated with an
all-women investment club
composed of 20 women
throughout the county who meet
to study the market, to learn the
various principles of investing,
and to invest funds as a group.
The organization was started
about four years ago, according to
Mrs. Ragan, which was a year
after her husband became
interested in a similar club for
men. The women, she states, are
competing quiet successfully and

watching carefully. Make 5 more

the Episcopal Diocese.

repairs, services are held in the
church every Sunday with the
Rev. Donald Maddux officiating.

The party was given by the

Stacie Martin and Rita Warren.
Valentine cakes were made by

Katherine Foseide.
Adults helping as lifeguards in
the pool were Lois Chapman,
Shirley Miljour, Carmen Yates,
they find it "a lot of fun" as well
as educational and profitable.
Her recipe is a favorite for
many reasons. She finds it a most
convenient party dessert, as it can
be made a day ahead; it may be
made in several separate stages,
which is very practical for a busy
homemaker; and most of all, she
says, in addition to being a joy to
eat it is a beauty to behold when
served on a fancy dish.

By Jan Danford
Have you, by chance, been all upset
By doctors' fees of late?
Are these the bills you can't forget?
Have you been quite irate?
An Fpidemic qnce they knew ..... .
Just how to stop, with ease; '
They simply killed the people who
Were spreading the disease.
Ah, to have lived in days of old
When doctors were so clever
And for this service made, I'm told
No charges whatsoever.
The earth was ruled by dinosaurs
Who finally gave way
To huge and mighty mammals who
For centuries held sway;
Ultimately, Man arrived,
But is he here to stay?
Perhaps the tiny microbe yet
Will rule the earth some day.
I have many, many skirts -
Bulky skirts and skinny skirts -
But I haven't any skirts
Quite as short as mini-skirts,
Because my veins are' very close
To being somewhat varicose.
