page six Mr. Ellsworth Brown Mr. Herman Mayer South Dayton Branch Cherry Creek Branch Mr. Brown-Hello, Mr. Mayer. l want to talk to you about this year's organiza- tion of the Pine Valley Central School. Mr. Mayer-I am glad you called because I was thinking about the progress we have made this year. Don't you think the co-operation among the students has been remarkable? Mr. Brown--I certainly do. The combined athletic and music programs have been excellent in spite of the transportation problems. The new commercial department and the unified homemalcing work have been very successful. Do you feel that further combinations are indicated? Mr. Mayer-Yes, I believe that the grouping of students according to elemen- tary and high school levels will permit union oi small classes at a great sav- ing as well as provide distinct advantages to the elementary grades. What are the plans for new services next year? Mr. Brown-We are adding industrial arts on a full-time basis. We will have a woman physical education teacher. Also we plan to add a full-time art teacher. Our new librarian will devote her time to the libraries of the two schools. We plan to provide a remedial teacher in the elementary school. Mr. Mayer-I am confident that we are making steps in the right direction to make our dream oi centralization come true. Mr. Brown-I agree. lt the school, home, and community co-operate, we can make Pine Valley Central one of the outstanding central schools oi the state.
