The Advisory Council, a group of mothers with students enrolled at Toll- eston School, met on the third of every month. At their meetings were taken up problems and ways and means in which this particular group of the com- munity could be of service to the school. One of the services generously con- tributed by the Advisory Council was a gift for each graduating student. These gifts of pen and pencil sets were both useful and served as remin- ders of the generosity and personal interest of the Advisory Council. Page 16

WELFARE DIRECTOR Ida Magioudis NURSE Gladys McCrosky With the help of our competent office and wel fare staff, our little red school house” was kept in shining order. Mrs. Ida Magioudis, our welfare worker, had her hands full as the shep- herdess who looked after the black sheep and kept them in line—finding them no matter where they went. Equally as occupied was Mrs. Gladys McCros- ky, who examined scratches, looked down throats, took temperatures, and gave tuberculosis patch tests in an effort to keep up the health of the students. Miss Joan Kish and Miss Bette Bean were assigned to the tedious tasks of taking care of lockers, enrollment, and requisitions while to Miss Elaine Bartkowski and Mrs. Dorothy Gas- ki were given the duties of making out the pro- grams for the boys and girls and keeping records of all school financial matters, no small job in itself.

Association was to acquaint the community with the school and the school with the community. Then the group met on the second Wednes- day of every month, the members heard talks on school curriculum, guidance, and student problems given by various teachers, and dis- cussed various other problems linking together the school and the home. One of the major problems under- taken was the Civilian Defense pro- gram; one of the first steps taken was first aid instruction for parents and teachers. Keeping abreast with the times and working with the school as a closely knit unit, made the P.T.A. a credit to the Tolleston community.
