Notes: In 1972 I was librarian at Greeneville, TN high school where my aide, Elizabeth Weems, gave me this recipe. She called it "Apricot Salad" and they had apricot jello at that time, but they didn't have Cool Whip. Her recipe called for a package of Dream Whip, which was a powder that you added milk to and then whipped. I'm for easy, so when Cool Whip came out, I changed the recipe!
