There are over fifty members of this organization and all are most anxious to promote the well being of our s.hool. For that reason every undertaking of this group receives the full co-operation of all members. During the past year, under the leadership of their president, Mrs. George Kunkel, many worthwhile things have been accomplished. In addition to the regular care and up- keep of the campus, the annual volley ball tournament refreshments, and sponsor- ship of the Junior-Senior Banquet, this organization entertained the County Teach- ers’ Association in February, contributed further to the purchase of band instruments, bought thirty-five dollars worth of dictionaries for both the grammar and high schools, and served a lunch for forty-four chorus singers from the Southwest Texas State Teachers’ College of San Marcos. We are proud of the friendly spirit ever manifested by this organization and trust that they will never regret the efforts spent in the betterment of our school. At the regular April meeting, the entire group ot officials was re-elected for the next year, which is a vote of confidence for their leadership for the school year of 1940-41. 20.
