Owing to the absence of President. Sam Cline, Vice President Myron j Lewis presided andi Al. Cline acted as secretary. The music was lead by Chorister i Parrish. Gene Kirk, the tail twister, was kept very busy collecting fines as there were quite a number who could not sing, or rather he thought they could net even some of the teachers could not, but they were exempt. Past Paresident Karl S. Carlton, in a few words, extended a welcome to the teachers and expressedi a hope for a hearty cooperation between s"'iools and the citizens of the town. Prof. R. L. Pixton, principal of the high school, was called upon to speak upon the needs of the schools. ?'r. Pixton, after expressing appre--'"tion at being present, not only for 'Maislf, but on behalf of the teachers present, said that the school and the school building should be the civic center of the town, now that suitable seats had been bought to seat the entire en-tire auditorium, every one should assist as-sist in making all school entertainment's entertain-ment's a success that more use should; be made of the investment on the hill. He said this year the school 'art good material for a championship champion-ship basketball team and there was no reason why Milford. not Minersville Miners-ville or Beaver, should furnish the team. Teachers, alnhe, can't do it all can't make a school without the cooperation of the town and . the parents. He finished by making a s'rong plea for "community spirit." His remarks were received with prolonged! pro-longed! applause. Miss Grace Plummer, principal of (be grade schools followed. She devoted de-voted her talk to cooperation, and, especially to the cooperation of the town people in seeing that children of school age be kept regularly in school, and not allowed to play hookey. hook-ey. She also asked that parents keep the children home, nights and not allow al-low them to attend so many social I functions during the school week, as it was hard to interest children in school, whose attention was on some party or dance just coming or just passed, and a sleepy pupil was a poor pupil.. i |
