Parents ahlij assist in extra-cnnicnlar activities. In (iroveton’s fi e years, considerable changes and improxcnients have been effected as a re¬ sult of active parent groups. The S.P.T.A. seeks primarily to achieve better understanding and relationships among students, parents, and teach¬ ers. .Modest financial help has been given by this association to e.xtra-curricular activities, and additions were made by the S.P.T.A. in Grove- ton’s librar ' and first aid room. The sidewalk on Popkins Lane was a result of S.P.T.A. efforts in obtaining permission for its constmetion. Tiger boosters aid the athletic department, spending more than $600 a year for athletic trophies and emblems. This organization has provided man power for many athletic functions and initiated intramural basketball several years ago. Band Patrons promote the activities of the Golden Tiger Band and Tigerettes. They chap¬ erone and sponsor field trips, such as “Band Day” at the Lhiiversity of Virginia. As “publicity agents,” they decorate school showcase windows and print programs for the annual “jubilee.” By selling tickets and furnace filters and assisting with the “Funerama,” they pixwe invaluable to the operation of the instrumental music program. After a meeting of the Band Patron.s, Mr. NViUiam Karjala, Treasurer; Mr. Robert Marshall, Vice President; Mr. John Frye, President; and Mrs. Maurice Hellner, Secretary enjoy Mrs. Hepner’s refreshments. Mr. Kenneth C. Drake, Vice President; Mrs. Marguerite Tid¬ well, Secretary; Mr. John Howzdy, President; «nd trs. Marie vStorer, Treasurer, gather to work on the S.P.T.A. budget.

Since Groveton’s cafeteria helpers served the first lunch to a Grovetonite five years ago, many additions have been made to this all-important school administration. A new mi.xer, a deep freeze, and an automatic slicer have made it modern and well-equipped. During the lunch periods, 800 to 900 students are served each day. Gustodians are called upon each day to re¬ place broken lights and other fi.xtures. Lockers are a frequent troublemaker; they fix at least four per day. They regulate the heating system, keep the school clean, and each morning and for all activities, they open the school and cafeteria. John Croudi and Bob Dunn pay Mrs. Bonnett, the cafeteria cashier, for their lunches. 18

B(H)k store helpers: Suzanne Beck, Easton Lomax, Ellis Markham, Sandra Brubaker, Bob Bates, and Barry Morf decorate the showcase for Christmas, Students promote many “Hello! Groveton calling!” Student helpers render xaluable assistance in their various roles as telephone receptionists, messengers, and cler¬ ical assistants in the administrativ ' e offices. These helpers perform special services, such as calling the homes of absentees and delivering messages, which otherwise could not be done. They also aid in typing school reports, records, and let¬ ters that would burden the secretaries, teachers, and other administrators. Student helpers in¬ crease the efficiency through services they ren¬ der every day.
