ELEMENTARY Vf . • v� J Truth, honor, justice, these are the ideals by which a man best lives. We call these words noble, but in our hearts we know their true worth must oe measured by the extent to which they are carried out in action. Our task is to close the gap between these noble words and our daily practices. E. H. WILBOURN, Principal B. S.( Jacksonville State Teachers College M. A., University of Alabama -•i •nr.$ ♦« V..

The first grade has been overflowing. At the present time there are sixty-one first graders. As usual the elementary school has been active in preparing nice chapel programs. We go to the high school building once a week for chapel. Each room takes it week about presenting the program. The grammar school prepared a nice Christmas program consisting of a play about Santa Claus, Christmas poems, and many of the familiar Christmas Carols. All of the rooms have spent some time in keeping their rooms attractive. The bulletin boards have been kept nice. The month of December all of the rooms were especially dressed up carrying out the Christmas theme. Each grade has tried to stress the importance of keeping the rooms clean and also cleanliness among the pupils themselves. Other important things being stressed are: 1. Safety at all times; 2. Courtesy; 3. Building good Character. We hope this will be a very successful and happy year for all elementary pupils.

Building For A Better Tommorrow is the objective of the Riverton Parent-Teacher Association whose officers for this year are Mrs. Sam Darwin, President; Mrs. J. D. Wall, Vice-president; Mrs. Maurice Lawler, Secretary and Roy Swain, Treasurer. One hundred members have been enrolled for the year 1952-53. Room Mothers, four for each grade, have been appointed. We feel that this will be very helpful.. Some of the activities sponsored by the P.T. A. are as follows: The annual barbecue, which was one of the most successful we have had, a political rally, a Hallowe'en Carn- ival with the proceeds going to purchase library books for the school, installation of a telephone in the principal's office, laying gravel walks, and landscaping the grounds around the new lunchroom. Under the sponsorship of the P.T. A. rest rooms and water fountains have been installed in the Elementary building. During the summer and fall the members of the P.T. A. canned several hundred cans of fruit for the lunchroom. Plans are now under way to ceil the gymnasium and to obtain a new heating system there and also in the lunchroom and vocational buildings. May we urge each parent to join with us in Building For A Better Tomorrow.' In Huntsville it's Home of Quality Since 1914!
