1946 THE INDIAN At the end of October, the school was fortunate to have the first serviceman, Mr. Pratt, return to his position as instructor of social studies and history. Mr. Pratt had spent over two years in the service, both in this country and abroad. Late in October a tea and shower were given by the Women of the faculty in honor of Mrs. Turner. The meetings planned by the Teacher Improvement Committee were inspiring and helpful. In December Mrs. Ruth Winch, the district superintendent, spoke on the condition of European schools and of their need for aid. As a result, the school sponsored the opening of the school in Sarralbe, France. Mr. Turner then explained the new salary schedule and the new Teacher-Board Agreements which have been adopted by the Board of Education. In January the staff changed with the departure of Mrs. Case, who had been pinch-hitting for Mrs. Alday. Mrs. Alday received her M. A. degree from Syracuse University and returned to her regular position in the sixth grade. In February the faculty met to discuss the use of visual aids in the classroom. Miss Akin, Mrs. Alday, Miss Ruth White, and Mr. Morse explained and demonstrated the use of the school's very excellent visual aid equipment. The meeting was preceded by a tea prepared for the meeting by a group under Mrs. Hall. The annual Faculty Tea was given by the Girl Reserves in February. The refreshments included a bride's cake and gift for Mrs. Pauline Gibbs Olson, who had recently returned from her honeymoon. 4 Further changes in the faculty during the spring brought back two veterans to their former teaching jobs at Chautauqua. Mr. Robert Seymour, instrumental music teacher, and Mr. Norman Becker, coach, resumed their respective duties after service with the Navy. Mr. William Broadhead, who had been subbing for Mr. Becker as coach, left the school during the middle of March. The spring meeting took the form of a round-table discussion on the subject of juvenile delinquency. The discussion was carried on by Mr. Cotten, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Morton, Mr. Pratt, Mr. Skinner, Mrs. Wheeler, and Miss Enid White. It was voted to carry this group as a permanent committee for further study of the subject. The meeting was preceded by a spaghetti dinner prepared by the men of the faculty supervised by Mr. Becker. During the last of March a dinner party was held at Levan's in Jamestown in honor of Mr. Henry Johnson, who left the school employ on April lst after seven years of very fine and efficient service as school custodian. Mr. Johnson was pre- sented with a gift from the faculty by Mr. Skinner. The evening was spent in the very unusual manner of buying at an auction some rare objects of art. Mr. Pratt was the very able and willing auctioneer. Mr. Alfred Jones, Jr., a graduate of the school who had served overseas in Italy during the war, joined the staff as custodian. After his marriage in May, he was called on the carpet and presented with a gift for himself and his bride. At this writing the annual round-up of faculty affairs in the form of a picnic is being planned as usual, at which time the farewells to departing members take place. Thus will end another year for the faculty at what they believe one of the friendliest schools in the State, and certainly one of the most pleasant to work in. fat-i 4... W 'l r
