Closing of school PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION The Parent Teachers Association opened the school year of l9h9-EO with eighty members and the following officers: President Lucille Smith Vice-President Glenn Rose, Martha Bartlett Secretary Martha Burke Treasurer Genola Payton Our goal for the year was to effect a better understanding between parent, teacher, and child. We believe that,to some extent, this has been accomplished. We have aided financially by purchasing reading materials, and uniforms for the three cheer leaders. Our organization has given generously to the Red Cross fund, to the Riley Hospital, the March of Dimes, and have given help to needy families. N We have been able to raise funds by putting on a Chicken 5upper in October and a county wide Home Talent Barn Dance Show in February. The jamboree was a huge financial success. The County Nurse has visited our school regularly this year. For the first time in many years, a period has been.set aside for devotions which are attended by the upper nine grades. FALL FESTIVAL For many years it has been the custom for the entire school to co-operate in an affair known as the Fall Festival. The season a nd a carnival organizations vie with profit from their stands. During the Festival and Festival is given furing the Halloween spirit prevails. Classes, grades, and one antgher in trying to show the most Classes elect their own king and queen. days preceding it, the class king and queens go about soliciting votes. Votes are cast by dropping coins in a box. On Festival night every one assembles in the auditorium for the Variety Show and finally as a climax of the evening, the money which the classes have earned by votes is counted. The boy and girl bringing in the most money are crowned King and Queen of the Fes ival. This year's Seniors, Emma Lou Marshall and Bob Warren, reigned with Pat Wheeler and Dick Pitman as Prince and Princess. t
