ffil 1- H E Q 9 I 3605,-lflfl I THE GROWTH OF THE S. I. A. The first S. I. A. in Clarendon was organized in the fall of 1911 with fifty mem- bers. The president, Mrs. E. J. Bondi, and secretary, Mrs. J. B. Moore, with Superin- tendent Leo Partlow accomplished much for the school. Tlhe most important activity was the organization of a Domestic Science Department through the efforts of Mrs. Tom Stephen Nelson and Mrs. Fern Smith Walsh, who organized and taught the class without c-ompensation. We know very little of the S. I. A. from 1913 to 1917 as there was probably no active organization. In 1917 Mrs. R. F. Milwee became president, Mrs. J. E. Pinkley resigned and was succeeded by Mrs. W. R. Merritt. Mr. F. F. Forrest was superintendent. During this administration the children's teeth were examined and trees were planted on the campus. The money for this purpose was raised by serving luncheons. From 1920 to 1922 Mrs. J. E. Pinkley was president with Mr. E. F. Boyer as secretary-treasurer and Mr. J. E. Howard superintendent. The first two years they sponsored lyceum courses, provided sanitary drinking fountains, and added more books to the library. From 1922 to 1923 Mrs. A. H. Gilbrech was president and Mrs. W. C. Thomas secretary. This administration provided play ground equipment for the campus. Mrs. Fred Wintker who was elected to succeed Mrs. Gilbrech resigned and the vacancy was filled by Mrs. Ike Bondi. She was assisted by the following officers: Mrs. C. A.. Harper, Vice-President, Mrs. J. H. Calhoun, Secretaryg and Mrs. F. W. Croxton, Treasurer. Mrs. Croxto-n resigned and was succeeded by Mrs. Fred Wintker. The first work they accomplished was the furnishing of equipment for the Domestic Science Department. This movement was financed by popular subscription. The Cache Lodge, No. 235 F. and A. M., presented the high school library with a new edition or the International Encyclopedia, consisting of twenty four volumes. Also, during this year, the children were supplied with milk, new books were supplied for the school, lunch was provided for the children during' the fair, play- ground equipment was reinstalled, more laboratory equipment purchased, a deficit paid for the debating team and one for the school. From 1924 to 1925 Mrs. H. W. Littleton was elected president, but was forced to resign because of ill health. Mrs. Ike Bondi succeeded her with the following other officers: Mrs. H. B. Bateman, First Vice-President: Mrs. W. H. Brown, Second Vice- President, Mrs. J. L. Green, Secretary, Mrs. Fred Wintker, Treasurer, and Mrs. W. H. Burke, Corresponding Secretary. This year we had our first County Fair and the ladies had a lunch stand on the fair grounds. The organization supplied Standard tests for the school, had the plumbing repaired, purchased maps, flags, and books for the school, had a bell installed, purchased some foot-ball material for the boys, and supplied footlights for the auditorium. From 1925 to 1926 Mrs. Ike Bondi was elected President with Mrs. W. H. Brown, First Vice-President, Mgrs. H. B. Brown, Second Vice-President, Mrs. J. L. Green, Secretary, Mrs. J. F. Bateman, Treasurer, and Mrs. W. H. Burke, Corresponding Secretary. Mrs. Green, who resigned because of ill health, was succeeded by Mrs. H. B. Vineyard. The ladies again had charge of the lunch stand at the County Fair. Because of the fact that this is the first year the Departmental plan has been used and also the first year our new Elementary Building was used, there was much wlork by the Parent Teacher's Association. The Association had the auditorium remodeled so that it might be used forf study hall. They have sponsored two very successful home talent plays, purchased scales to weigh the school children, and gave Superintendent Howard a trip to the National Superintendenfs Association at Washington, D. C. Our school now has the aid of a public health nurse, Miss Ada Welch. We feel that much' has been accomplished this yeaigand part of our hopes for a brilliant future for our Clarendon School were realized when we were notified that the Clarendon High School has been put on the A class list.

P 'rv-as Q I I Cott011 j i MSENIOR CLASS POEMW I' , . 'I We've worked and worked through twelve long years, Years with struggles, sighs, and tears, Each year as we've won, our spirits have soared, Now we but merit an honest reward. Q . Nine plus ten Seniors in a row, With shining eyes and hearts- aglowg We've fought and won our first real fight, It's the reward of all who do What's right. l Our teachers we've loved, of friends the best, They've helped us prepare for life's hard testg They've cheered, encouraged and helped us through, Now we must do without them too. But mingled with joy is sadness yet, Sadness, heartaches, and earnest regretg That afar from here our path now bends, Goodbye and God bless you, our best of friends. l Edith Ballinger. ,ffil 4 1 ,,W-,X ' 1:5 ff -fxx fa, 1 ,I XV Q M Q' ' 1 ? xfcnxffhxs ff X 4 2.0 K X f Tl M ' X f , ruff' S I ! ,K ,ff l- 1 J fy? l lp -, 2 x , A , , Ying, Q L , K 9 '7 X mx 3,1 YM I X- fi A K -N f'-La x X.
