(1987 November 7)
23 was the correct number of Trick-or-Treaters I had, but at one time had 50 or so, I think when families lived in the barracks at the Community Building during wartime.

Boom boxes
(1987 November 14)
Father Maier [organist & retired priest] has complained that when he plays this electric pipe organ, the sound collects around the organ and does not go out & front. So -- here in the hall is a huge box said to be Speakers which will be installed in the ceiling to throw the sound to the front of the church. The poor pure little church!

Played out
(1987 November 14)
I think the American Players [at Spring Green] is folding. A question of money, of course. They borrowed a great deal from the government, which they cannot repay, and for a while there were enough donations, in the thousands, but then two of the best players left and the whole place needs replacing - stage, toilets, sets just too bad. I'm glad you went as often as you could.

Silent auction
(1987 November 14)
The Silent Auction [at the Church Fall Festival] did well. I came home with a basket of apples & cheese, plate of cookies, (empty) cream puffs, bottle of cloves, Father Maier's squash (he got my violet plant!). So it went.

Fall festival
(1987 November 14)
Last night was the Church Fall Festival with the proceeds to go to Camp Webb [for kids]. The food was simple, barbecues, chicken in buns, salads. But O the desserts! So gooey with whipped cream and pies etc. Then song sheets, and all sang lustily. Jim Coufal and I were back to back at tables. He turned around and said, "When your brother gets that book done, I want a copy." I considered he had had a couple before coming, so just said OK. One hand all bandaged up - something about loading cattle - when a mother found her calf wasn't with her, she cut up rough.

Always in order
(1987 September 6 )
Congratulations on being Mr. President [of the Midwest Medieval Conference]. Keep the meetings short and you'll be popular. I once went (years ago) to a long PTA meeting that went ON & ON. At last I remembered Daddy's telling me a motion to adjourn is always in order. I waved my hand and when called on said, "I move we adjourn." Cries of Yea (relief!) and all thankfully bustled out leaving the confused president saying, "But - but - I had a couple of other things to bring up."

Schuler's sideshow
(1987 September 6, Sunday)
When I tuned in [to Rev. Schuler's Church on TV] the choir was singing the first hymn. About 150-200 voices. From then on it was like a sideshow, with each act applauded vigorously. Act 1 - a boy soprano in white. Act 2 - A Fr. Jasu (?) who was captured (tortured) and at last released. This old man (white beard) told all and well applauded. Act 3 - The photographer took this so he could see a girl playing a pipe organ (the tune was The Spinner). A canary in a cage at her left! Act 4 - A song by a tenor. Act 5 - A huckster selling paper cutter made of gold (to pay for TV time) - write in and ask for your initial to be put on. The one shown was S. Act 6 - A girl playing a set of bells. Act 7 - The sermon, about 6 minutes. Know you are loved & be friendly, free, firm and ?? (feathered?). Before the choir ends it all, he speaks of the paper cutter once more, asking a contribution be sent with request if you can. "If you cannot help me, allow me to help you." You really must catch this.
