DESCRIPTION
The Beaumont Music Study Club was founded in 1921 by four
young Beaumont women. They were Sewell and Gladys Panned, Alice
Kent, and Ethel Rowzee. Officers elected at that time were Mrs. W.
Frank Wilson, President; Mrs. Lena Milan, Vice-president; Miss
Gladys Panned, Secretary, and Mrs. W.G. Reeves, Treasurer. The
Hazel Panned Scholarship Fund, established in the Beaumont
community (1940's), has aided scores of talented music students at
Lamar University for almost three decades. American, Texan, and
Beaumont composers have been featured on the club's programs
throughout fifty years.
This collection contains 9 volumes of scrapbooks produced during
the period of 1921-1972. They are arranged chronologically by
year. The clubs scrapbooks tell the story through a collection of
newspaper clippings, yearbooks, programs, correspondence, and
convention notices. Over 70 photographs are included within the 9
volumes with 60 found within the 50th Golden Anniversary volume.
Also included within the collection is a scrapbook dedicated
primarily to the Beaumont Golden Deeds Award, with special emphasis
on the 5th winner of the award, Dr. Lena Milan. This particular
volume salutes the numerous groups which had been formed since the
inception of the Music Study Club. See also AC -013 and AC -044.
