Launches Yearly Campaign A goal of 1000 members has been set by the P. T. A. in their annual membership drive according to Mrs. Robert Hudson, P. T. A. president. If the goal is reached it would be the highest ever recorded. The drive last year fell short of the goal of 1000, but reached 950 members. The P. T. A. each year has a project they work for. Last year they helped buy new band uniforms which will be worn next Saturday at the Dunbar game. J. C. Hendricksonh Latin teacher will head the drive here at Kiser, while room mothers will try to get parents to join. Membership this year is the same ,as last year-50 cents a person or one dollar a couple. The P. T. A. hasn't been ,able to overcome the lack of interest which is taken in it's monthly meetings. For example only 75 people were present at the first meeting and over half of them were teachers and their friends. Mrs. Hudson has some interesting programs planned. They are: October, an open house: November, Civil De- fense, December, Christmas Pro- gram, and January will be fun night. The P. T. A. invites every parent to the meetings. Senior Picnic Slated Triangle park will be the site of the senior class picnic this year to be held, Wednesday, Oct. 7. Don Thies has been selected chair- man of the picnic committee under the supervision of W. M. Stover. ,Sixty-five cents will permit any '54er to participate. All profits made will' go to the treasury. Outdoor activities such as horse- shoes, baseball, volley ball, and foot- ball will be available. For those who prefer it, recorded music will be on hand inside the large shelter. 1 -'Y Y To Be Held t Kiser Oct. 1-25 Lohrey,.
