Here is another recipe from the 1973 cookbook put together by Sarah Circle, Sherwood United Methodist Church. This recipe was submitted by Mrs. A.E. Sherk (1882-1978). She and her son, Ronald wrote an early history of Sherwood. She was the long-time librarian at the Sherwood Public Library. I don't have a picture, but maybe you do. The recipe is very brief and limited instructions, not like today. An internet search says that a "quick oven" is a setting of around 400 degrees.
2 eggs
1 c. sugar (heaped)
1/2 c. butter or shortening
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. milk
2 tsp. baking powder
Mix soft. Quick oven.

I don't think that Annie Sherk helped to write the book. She may have been interviewed, but she didn't help her son with his college homework!!!!
Says who? She probably wrote the whole thing and handed him a pen and said, Now sign this or your board and room just went up 1000%.
That's what my mother would have done.
Actually Ronald Sherk's "History of Sherwood" lists Mr. A.E. Sherk of Sherwood & Mrs. A.E. Sherk of Sherwood in the list of interviews conducted in researching his paper. The paper was written in the summer & fall of 1935 as a thesis for his bachelor's degree for what is now George Fox University. He graduated in June 1936.
