Board of Education gives the most significant contribution, but. . . Thousands Of Parents Active Thousands of parents have given-tlme, effort, and expertise to public education In Huron over the past century. Those who have served on the Huron Board of Education have made the most significant contribution. The PTA grew rapidly in the 19205 and 1930's and remained strong until about 1970, when some of the schools chose to have local parent groups. Pre-school mothers groups were also formed in the schools. . For many years each PTA held a carhlval on Halloween night, to keep children voff the streets and to raise money for the entlre year. Currently school carnivals or stage enter- tainments or science fairs are held at varlpus times during the year. The custom of havmg homeroom mothers for each classroom has carried over. In the 1970's each school, elementary and secondary, had a Parent Advisory Group which met at intervals during the year With the respective school principal for Informa- tion and discussion about the school program From early days there have been parent volunteer workers for Band Boosters, 30y Scouts, cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Brownies, and Other youth organizations, which have frequently met in school buildings. A practice, which has grown in the 1970's is the use of teacher aides, both volunteers and eleOvees, to relieve teachers and principals of non-professional tasks. Huron became known as the educational center of Dakota Territory when the Dakota Educational was formed on June 2, 1884. Meetings were held in the Methodist Church in Huron with charter members present. The organization, which later became the South Dakota Educational Association iSDEAl, was headed by General w.H. Beadle, for whom the county was named. The Associationtmet in Huron the first three years of its eXIstente, and to the present has hosted four dlstrlct SDEA conventions and nine state conventions. VGround for the new Huron Senior High'school cm Elgh- teenth St. SW, was broken in the spring of 1966 by members of the school board Dr. R.A. Buchanan, board president, turned the symbolic first shovel Wlth Harlan Meyer, Helen Buchanan James Venables, Vlce breSIdent, and Dr. G.H chaffee looking on, 20 W I I W At a meeting of the school board, Thursday night, the committee on school houses was directed to at once arrange in some manner for heating the school rooms so that they will be com- fortable in the coldest days. This is a necessary order, and the patrons of the schools hope it will be obeyed. Steam heating apparatus should be placed in the school house before another winter. Then there would not be SO many inter- ruptions of school by the weather. Huronite February 1 1 , 1 886 E
