19 - THE BLACKBOARD - 51 THE LUNCH ROOM Down through the years since 1939 we've tried to keep a lunch room running that the children would enjoy eating in and have it as cheaply run as possible with the best meals possible. The government has furnished potatoes, beans, peanut butter, honey, cheese, apples, and numerous other items. This year they have sent us some turkeys which have furnished us with the foundation for some very, very delicious meals. Along with the numerous commodities and other foods and under the very capable hands of our new cooks, Mrs. Mary Needham and Mrs. Ethel Shelton, we feel that the meals this year have been especially good. The very wonder- ful co-operation of the faculty, of the parents and especially of the chil- dren themselves, we are indeed very-proud of the lunch room this year. They are staggering under a heavy financial load and the help of everyone is indeed a pleasure to us. They sincerely ask the help of teachers, par- ents, and children in the next year. They especially want to thank Mrs. Sommerville for taking care of the records and keeping us within our very limited means. They also want to thank Mr. Shelton, the janitor, who has helped us in every way possible to keep a cleaner lunch room. They have enjoyed serving the boys and girls this year as it seems they have really out-done themselves in being happy with us. Boys, girls, teacher, parents, cooks, and janitor, we thank you. We are hoping to have a big- ger and better lunch room in the years to come. Your lunch room committee: Mrs. Beulah White, Edith Hedge, Mil- dred Carroll, and Mary Patterson. THE 'JACKSON TOWNSHIP MOTHERS' CLUB In February, 1946, a number of civic-minded women of the Advance community saw and felt the need of an organization to sponsor worth- while activities for the betterment of the school, and the Advance Mothers' Club was begun. When the two township schools were consolidated in 1947, the Moth- ers' Club continued to support the Elementary School, and the name was changed to Jackson Township Mothers' Club. Enthusiasm, harmony, and co-operation of the members have helped the club to enjoy a continuous growth. Membership is primarily made up of Mothers, but any woman who is vitally interested in the welfare of the school students is welcomed as a member. It is hoped that as long as we have children as a challenge and in- spiration, the Mothers' Club will continue to serve in a worth-while ca- pacity. Officers for the current year are: President ........................, Mrs. Marjorie Ebaugh Vice-President .............. ....... M rs. Ruth Fisher Secretary-Treasurer ........... . . . Mrs. Esther Bidelman Assistant Secretary-Treasurer . . . . . . Mrs. Doris Demaree

19 - THE BLACKBOARD - 51 IT IS UP T0 US WHAT CHILDREN DO Children's growth needs are ever changing, and these needs must be met wisely at home and at school. When we parents and teachers have an appreciation for individual differences in ability and temperament, and an understanding of what to expect of the child at different age levels, then we can give that child the best guidance. If our attitude is that children must confirm to definite pattern of be- havior, we are rigid parents or teachers, intent upon imposing our own will upon them. If we assume that when children are let alone they will devel- op in the best possible way, we disregard our responsibilities. But if we are considerate parents and teachers and have faith in the child's ability to grow up, then we will find real enjoyment in their achievements. ' When parents and teachers work together on their common problems, they will develop new ways of thinking about their family and teacher re- lationship. Every child needs a pleasant home and a happy school atmosphere. As a leader I would recommend the following points: 1. The child must be loved by both parents and teachers. 2. He is helped in grow up by having neither too much nor too little done for him. 3. His mistakes are not considered badness but are understood as a normal part of growing up. , 4. He is corrected without being hurt, shamed, or confused. 5. He has freedom that fits his age and needs. . 6. He has responsibilities that fits his age, abilities and freedom. 7. He can talk things over without being afraid or ashamed. 8. He learns through mistakes as well as through success. 9. He is given increasing responsibility for his own behavior. 10. He can believe in his parents and teachers because they live their own ideals. I As one educator quotes, A trained teacher is good: A trained teacher and child is better: But it takes a trained teacher, a child, and understand- ing parents to make a school. Mrs. Ruth R. Sperry, President Parent-Teacher Association
