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.
