"Swiss Family Robinson" star Pat Delaney, better known to her Houston pals as Patsy Carter, has promised to send a telegram to her Stephen F. Austin High School class of '55 reunion. They'll be gathering here on Aug. 23 at the Summit Club, and according to Patsy's old classmate John Callas, she'd be there in person but she's too busy shooting her new fall ABC series. Pat plays the mother of the family Robinson, with Martin Milner as her husband. She's a former Scottish Brigade member at Austin High, and long before she headed for Hollywood, she once claimed the title of Houston's Miss Photo Flash.

The Houston Geological Society will hold its annual awards meeting Monday at which five top college students will be honored.
The awards consist of membership in the society and $50.00 cash. The amount of the award is not so important as the recognition of the outstanding students, it was explained.
They will go to Miss Mary Kathryn Jarrell who is to receive her master's degree in geology from the University of Houston this spring; Ira H. Cram, Jr., Rice University; Jerald Edward McQueen, University of Texas; Rudolph B. Siegert, Texas A. and M. College, and Marcus E. Milling Lamar State College of Technology.
The students were selected by the faculties of their respective schools. All have outstanding records in geology. This is the first time a woman student has been picked for one of the awards.
Miss Jarrell is the daughter of Mr and Mrs Walter M. Jarrell of 4422 Coyle. She graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School and got her BS in geology from the University of Houston in 1959.
Cram is the son of Mr & Mrs Ira H. Cram of New York City. His father is vice president of Continental Oil co. and was in Houston a number of years before being transferred to New York. Cram, Jr., expects to get his Ph. D. in geology this spring.
McQueen is married and lives in Austin. He was born and reared in Memphis and expects to get his bachelor degree in geology this spring. Siegert is also married and lives with his wife at College Station.
