One hundred and twenty-three members attend the dinner meeting in Fellowship Hall. Williams Chapel, The School of the Ozarks.

The fall meeting of the Society, September 28, at The School of the Ozarks was notable for good company, good food and a good program. School President Dr.

M. Graham Clark welcomed the members. Speakers were intro duced by Dr. R. M. Good, Presi dent of the Society.

Mr. Douglas Mahnkey, Forsyth, spoke on "Ozark Philosophy." Al. though his theme was a serious one, his talk was well illustrated by anecdotes of Ozarks pioneers' unique and sometimes hilarious attitude toward life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Mr. Elmo Ingenthron, Sec retary, reviewed the background and purposes of the Society.
