PRE-SCI-IOOL CLINIC A project of the Parent-Teachers Association of Onondaga Central School PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION - During the school year eight meetings of the Association were held and the average attendance has placed the Onondaga Central School group on a par with the largest associations in Central New York. Mrs. Erwin Seely filled the ofiice of president in a most credible manner, following the policy of desiring the parents and friends who attended that each and every one should have a good time. The activities of this Association were not limited to regular meetings only, for one of the outstanding plays of the season, directed by Miss Phillips, was executed in professional style. The people of the district who attended were almost unanimous in their approval of the work done. With the funds realized from the production of Who's Crazy Now? the Parent- Teachers' Association carried out several very worthwhile projects, the most important of which is better understood by examining the picture above which shows one of the several pre-school clinics carried on under the direction of Mrs. Clark, Miss Everingham and Dr. Gak. The clinic room in the school was equipped with the necessary furniture and equipment from the funds mentioned above. Twenty-three boys and girls attended the clinic the day this picture was taken. The shrubbery which one observes on passing the school was also purchased through the desire of the Parent-Teachers, Association to have our school grounds landscaped and the bare spots filled in, Milk was furnished to those children who were in need of it for health and growth. All in all, the school year 1936-37 marked a real growth in the activities and interest of the Parent-Teachers' Association. Next year Mr. Arlo Case will preside at our regular meetings and it appears that another active season, enjoyable for all who care to come, will find our Association accomplishing more worthwhile projects for the betterment of our educational and social welfare. The other officers for the year 1937-38 are: Vice-president, Mrs. William Amidong Secertary, Mrs. Alta Horton, Treasurer, Mr. Sherman Saunders. j -16-
