MOTHERS-TEACHERS CLUB The Mothers-Teachers Club, founded a year ago last September by Mrs. Vinton and Mrs. Briggs, has become an important and valuable part of the school organization. The contact between parent and teacher has meant much in the development of the pupils and in their adjustment. There is, as a result, a better understanding of the problems of the students and of the faculty and a close cooperation. The club not only has promoted friend- ship between the members but has served to give the school good publicity and growth. The programs have been delightful and the meetings alive and successful. Mrs. Walton Brown has been a most able president, a leader and an excellent executive. She has been very fortunate in the support which she has received from the active members, from Mrs. Hocking, Mrs. Dryer, Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Packard, Mrs. Hofert, Mrs. Rockfellow, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Wiley, Mrs. Lindau, Mrs. Greenwood, Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Dehnor, Mrs. Stur- geon and Mrs. Holler. The club, through noteworthy efforts, raised a sum of three hundred dol- lars which has been presented to the school with the money allocated three ways: SlOO for the scholarship fund, EISIOO for books for the high school library and SIOO for the college section. The school is deeply grateful. OFFICERS President ........... Mrs. Walton Brown Vice-Pres. ................ Mrs. Parker Sec. Vice-Pres. ............. Mrs. Holler Secretaries .....

THE CHRISTMAS PARTY Christmas Comes but once a year but HOW! i937 gave Cumnock a delightful Christmas spirit, a joyous feeling of goodwill and kindliness. The Mothers-Teachers Club cooperated with the school to have a well attended Open House with Christmas tree, carols, pageantry and music. Bob Meyer recited delightfully a French poem of the season, the two Clee Clubs led the community singing, Mrs. Shry-Ock and Mr. Ralph Pierce presented, with the glee clubs, a cheery program, Santa Claus welcomed all and led the guests to the dining room where Wassail all ushered in the Christmas vacation. The large Christmas tree, beautifully inspiring, was surrounded by many, many packages, attractively wrapped, for distribution among the less for- tunate. Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Vinton and Mrs. Briggs reported happy homes as a result of the thoughtfulness of parents and pupils. I I s, WW WAS 68
