37 THE REDSKIN 7 Alumni News We I WISH to congratulate the I student body of the Knox High -School, on this issue of the Redskin. Student publica- tions are always of great interest to the alumni, helping them to keep in touch with current events in the high school, and to recapture some of the spirit of past school days. While wishing for the continued suc- cess of the Redskin, I hope that next year it may expand itself into 'a Sang bur. My four Sandburs, 1906, 1919, 1926 and 1927, :are invaluable memen- tors to me. iNot only do I enjoy look- ing back to see how the class of '33 looked at the age of ten years, but when- ever in doubt as to any of my friends' ages, it is convenient to run over the alumni roster, note the date of gradua- tion, and add eighteen years. The alumni are not planning a re- unionsthis year, but some time between now and next June expect to arrange a meeting for 1934 and will then be happy to welcome in fraternal spirit those classes who have not yet met with their predecessors in graduation from K.H.S. For this I know you will have enthus- iasm, for the keeping of the friendships you have already formed, ,and the mak- ing of new ones, will be two of the most important factors for happiness in your lives. -Stella Klopot Bonner OFFICERS Kathryn Fox Helms. President - Joseph Bolen, Vice President Lucille Geiselman Mathews. Secretary Ralph Stevenson, Treasurer P.-T. A. Notes E- HERE is nothing more Hatter- ,EJSI in mg to be said about 'any Par- idtfgl--3 ent Teacherfs Association than this-that the year has been profitably spent. The year 1932-33 will always be a banner year in the hiss tory off the Knox P.-T.A. Equipped with a capable and ambihous staff of officers and committees, the year began October 3 with great enthusiasm and maintained the same to the very lasrt meeting, May 8. Loyalty and co-opera- tion were the watch words.. The attend- ance was increased from. an average of '75 to 135, the largest attendance be- ing 250. 'The year's achievements were out- standing. The Ways and Means com- mittee, through a Halloween Carnival, a dance, and ia card party, earned over 85200, in spite of the many handicaps they had to overcome. The program committee piresenvted some rare treats in music and lectures which were enjoyed bv the entire community. The C-hild Welfare committee promoted an eye clinic at which evefry child in school re- ceived ian examination of his eyes, free. Thev also provided meals for the less fortunate children during the cold months, the hot lunches being prepared and served by the Domestic Science De- partment. There will be a summer round-up of pre-school age children in June. The usuaal donation wlas igiven toward .the maintenance of the bathing beach at the river. Two achievements of which the tovnm of Knox may always be proud are the Girl Scourts and the Boy Scouts. These organizations are nationally chartered and active. The Knox P.-T.A. is direct- lv responsible for their organization and glories in their existance. The interest and confidence of our friends and members have made this very worth while association possible. The perfect co-operation between our teachers and pfafrents is a source of just pride to us and an example that any school mighrt emulate. An active P.T.A. in a cummunity is ia sign of a modern, progressive community. F6573 OFFICERS Sylva Reiss Jonas, President u v., -2 Lula Rx-rschka. Vice President Mildred Stanley.
