vena sun AVONDALE P. T. '. The Avondale Parent Teachers Association had an early be- ginning which may in part account for its many accomplishments. The local chapter was organized in 1910 while Mrs. Frank Wells of Pueblo, was serving assess first state P.T.A.y president. The organization meeting hold in the Avondale church elected Mrs, E. G..Mcuonald the first president. ,Mrs. Mertha,who lived down 1n,1lD0ggh,Va1ley ,1 the present Mcltarlane rosidence follow- ed Mrs. McDonald 4,'h, as president..More. recently ladies who have served asp resident are MTS..RlCh8TdSOH,.MPSvaT0m1inB0h,fsMQBi McDonald3 Hrsl Valentine, Mrs.-Graham, Mrs. Dissler, Mrs. Bose men, and Mrs. Tcrwll1ighr.+ Mrs. Terw11liger,1s.now servingtwr third term and will continue as president unt1l'Marchy 194 .' The Avondale P.T.A. has always maintained a membership of fifty or more patrons. This year the membership ls about six- ty-five. Another point in its favor is that'it has never sev- ered its membership with the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. 1 -A J ' Many accomplishments can be attributed to the P.T.A.which provided the curtains for the windows and the stage, curtains ,or the first auditorium. yt was the same organization which Sgggsggggnghgyathgaff .iffffolflplggicBveghil-131532152r1igi?fna'Sh2lf3 tures, flags, books, and many other valuable contributions from past years.
