ROSE BOYLE President 1935-36 The Mothers' Guild THIS IS THE eighth year that the Mothers' Guild has flour- ished for the greater welfare of Archmere and Archmere students. Organized shortly after the school was opened in September of 1932, by a group of industrious mothers under the sponsorship of the Very Rev. M. J. McKeough. O. Praem.. the Guilds primary desire has been to improve Archmere in every way possible. When the group held their initial meeting, Mrs. Frank Garey of Wilmingtcn was elected ta occupy the post of first president, for the years 1932-33. In the second year the mothers chose Mrs. James Dewey of Chester. Follow- ing a year of brilliant successes Mrs. Dewey relinquished her position to Mrs. James Houser of Wilmington. For its fourth year of accomplishment the Mothers' Guild selected Mrs. Rose Boyle of Norwood, Pa.. as its leader. At the first meeting in 1936 the mothers discussed the affairs of the organizatiin and welcomed the Very Rev. D. F. Hurley, O. Praem., who had succeeded Father Mc- Keough as Headmaster. The members then elected Mrs. James Haley of Wilmingtcn president. After a very suc- cessful year, Mrs. Haley was followed by Mrs. Maybelle Oakes of Chester for the years 1937-38. In order that the new mothers might have an experienced leader for the first card party, Mrs. Oakes tenure was extended until after the party was held. On December 20. 1939. Mrs. Joseph Cavanaugh of Wilmington was elected president. She was succeeded last fall by Mrs. William Nothnagle of Chester
