YVith the largest membership ever enrolled, the 1947-48 P. T. A. succeeded in injecting a new note of civic interest into the activities of our school. By observ- ing and quietly correcting the deficiencies as they ap- peared, this organizatioifs inl'luence will be felt by many future classes. One instance was the purchasing of swings for the playground. The willingness of the grade pupils to remain long after school hours expressed their apprecia- tion and enjoyment of the swings. Another project this year that especially concerned the lower grades was the morning milk program. The Hallowe'en Party, antici- pated by both children and adults and sponsored by the P. T. A., has become a Hughesville Institution. The high school was substantially aided in several departments, including a contribution to the purchase of new stage scenery for the use of school and community. As a fitting climax to a successful year, a dinner for oiiicers, committee members, grade mothers and teachers was held. The Student Council, which meets every week, con- sists of a democratic representation from each grade. It is here that legislation, suggestions, violations and griev- ances of the school are discussed and acted upon. It is through the efforts of the Student Council that these assembly programs were made available.
