AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK American Education Week, annually observed by the National Education Association, was held the week of Novenber 9th to the 15th. This annual recognition of our schoolsys- tem is sponsored by the American Legion, National Education Association, gress of Parents and Teachers, and the U. S. Office of Education. Here at jefferson we held open house all week. A display of art and the fair booth display was exhibited in the lower hall all week. In keeping with this year's slogan, The Schools Are Yours , parents visit school to see our classes in operation, Competition was held between the room having the most visits. When it came to the final tally, we found National Con- class workplus were urged to home roomsfor that Grade One had won a close race over the Fourth and Fifth Grades for first place honors. Mrs.Clise's charges had been honored by fifteen visits while the boys and girls under Miss Barney and Miss Harris had fourteen each. About thirty-five parents had a meeting with Superintendent Sanders in th'e auditorium on Thursday at 2:00 P.M. They had come to discuss some of the Common problems fac- ing the teachers and the parents. Some of the main points discussed were physical education, the cafeteria, the Music Departrnent, transportation, discipline and respect, and reading habits. The committee for the meeting was Mrs. Wallace l-lodgin, Mr. Charles Mull, Mr.Har- ley Ray, and Miss Woodice Eliason. PRINCE OF PEACE The annual Prince of Peace contest was held in the school auditorium on November 9th, at 4:00 PM. This year the competition was keen as four contestants pitted their ability against each other for first place honors. The contestants were Lois Dorsey, Freshman, Patty Stemple, Sophomore: June Keller, junior, and Richard Nelson, Senior. Richard Nelson won the contest by a narrow margin over june Keller who was judged alternate. Richard then took part in the Preble County contest held at the Eaton Presbyterian Church on December 7th, 1947. He was awarded third place. We hope that next year even more of our students will be interested in taking part in the contest. FALL CARNIVAL Halloween eve proved to be a very gala night at jefferson Township School. This was the night of our annual Fall Carnival which we look forward to every year. Hi-lighted by a splendid talent show, the carnival proved to be a great success. Bob Leisure, Sophomore crooner, came through to take first place in the talent packed show, jo Ann Michael, a fifth grader, sang her way into the hearts of everyone in the audience, and incidentally, into second place. The cake walk, beauty parlor, fish pond, and many other booths proved to be verypop ular with the huge crowd. Very few of the crowd failed to hear jim juday calling them to try their luck at the nail drive. Uim has quite a voicel. A radio and two lamps were just a beginning to the list of door prizes that were given away at the second show of the evening. Those people who won sacks of potatoes were pret- ty lucky, too. Spuds were very high this winter as you probably know. The main attraction of the carnival was the queen. Helen Ford, Freshman, was crown- ed Carnival Queen of l947 . Her attendants were Lorraine LeMay, Freshman: Louise Fussner, joan Taylor, Sophomoresg Marilyn Saxton, Martha Eales, juniorsg and Jane DeBoo, Vir ginia Culbertson, Senior s . Miss Ford was presented with a make-up kit while joan Taylor, runner-up, was pre- sented with various shades of lipstick. All in all the carnival netted S552.l5, a huge surn for a high school affair. Some of this money has already been put to work to irnprove our school. We hope you all had a fine time at the carnival and will come back again next year. 56
