A tradition more than eight decades in the making continued last Tuesday when Plainview HCE hosted the Senior Tea for Kingfi sher High School’s senior girls. The event was held at The Gathering in downtown Kingfisher and nearly three dozen young women were addressed by Dr. Juanita Krittenbrink (pictured on the right in the inset photo along with Plainview HCE President Debbie Winters). She delivered the message of “Get up, dress up and show up!” Plainview HCE members greeted and welcomed the seniors, who were also served a variety of refreshments.
