PARENTS' ACTIVITIES This year the King School Mothers' Committee has again worked untiringly to give our building a more pleasant appearance. ln September, the school had linoleum installed on the stairs and on the floor of the front hall. The bright green and black pattern of the linoleum is highlighted by the addition of four Early American period chairs, for the visitors to the school, and matching wooden radiator covers. These are all set off by the new draperies which adorn the front windows. All these accessories were purchased by the Committee. squads, Varsity, League, and Junior League were given refreshments after each game. The opposing teams were also invited for cocoa or coke, as the season de- manded, and donuts or cookies. This pleasing function was greatly appreciated by all the boys, who are hoping for the continuance of the program next year. To raise the money for their proiects the mothers gave much of their time and energy. A rummage sale from a downtown store and a bridge game and cake sale at the Darien Community House provided the funds from which the mothers were able to finance Long before the Father and Son Dinner, on March 'l3th, preparations were being made Dy the mothers to cook and serve the eagerly anticipated meal. A new stove was installed in the kitchen and a complete set of simply designed cream-colored china and beau- tiful silverware was contributed. Another new addi- tion was an aluminum Coffeemaker, capable of pro- ducing fifty to sixty cups of steaming hot cofifee. Aided by their new equipment, the mothers saw the dinner run off smoothly. The tables were attractively decorated, and a fine time was had by all in at- tendance. Following the meal, a variety of excellent entertainment was presented, with Mr. Alan Bunce acting as emcee. Another highlight of this school season was the Senior Dance held at the Darien Community House on April 4th, A Junior Committee of students worked with the mothers to make the necessary arrangements for refreshments, decorations, and entertainment. The Wharton Ford Orchestra provided the music and the affair was an overwhelming success. The Mothers' Committee took an active interest in all the home football and baseball games. All three the gifts to the school. A new system was worked out this year, whereby each class had its own Room Mother. The ladies acted as contacts between the Committee and the mothers of their particular class. The Board of Trustees did their usual efficient iob in an executive capacity.
