JUNIOR HIGH
HAS BIC DAY

| 'NS'hpS, FNo. Io.-lne junior
high school was thrown open all da,
Thursday for parents to visit class
es, talk with teachers, and get better
acquainted with the school Only
about fifteen parents came in the
morning, but this number was aug
mented to two hundred by afternoon
Every class was crowded with visit
ors. In the assembly hall Miss Raw.
Inns instructor in domestic arts. had
on display some very artistic work
OF the students. AS parents passed
from this room they were escorted
to the cooking room and treated to q
delicious light luncheon prepared by
the instructor, Miss Young, and the
cooking girls.
At 3 o'clock the students were dis.
missed and the parents gathered IN
the assembly hall. A quartet COM
posed of third year girls rendered
two very pleasing vocal numbers.
Mr.. Brossard opened the meeting
with hearty welcome to the parents
and remarks that the teachers were
very DESTROYS of more frequent Wis
its from the parents. If this is done,
he said in part, it will eradicate the
very evident awkwardness of both
students and teachers. This is the
very first parents that we have had
in this school this year.
Mr.. Leatham briefly gave an out.
line of the best importance of sucn
meetings and urged the parents to
cooperate more closely with the teach
ers.
Mr.. Robert Major followed Mr..
Leatham with a very effective ad-
dress on the way that young girls
run the streets and the pitiful re-
suits Of such a practice. He vehem-
enently scored parties and dances in
the middle Of the week. He said in
part, l had Wellsville mother boast
to me of her fourteen year old daugh-
ter's popularity and gloating over
the fact that she almost had bagged
boy Of wealth. She stated that he
was too bashful to come in the house
but preferred entertaining her daugh-
ter on the street. AS I was coming
home from an A.. C. rehearsal at
Logan last year at nearly 3 a. m.
/ passed a long line of buggies COM
ing from the dance. was in bug
gy myself and l decided l would yell
the next time l passed slumbering
couple. Soon I observed one. The
horse was barely moving, the lines
were wrapped around the whip and
On the seat boy and girl were wrap
ped around each other. When !
yelled the girl jumped up and looked
me squarely in the face. 1t was this
proud mothers fourteen year old girl
and her bashful beau, four miles
from home and headed for heaven
knows where"
Mr.. Peter Vaughan arose when
Mr.. Brossard asked II the parents
had anything to say or wished to
discuss what had been said, and he
spoke highly favorably of the meet
ing an referring to Mr.. Majors talk
urged that the parents take more
notice Of the young boys and girls.
He pledged himself as one parent to
cooperate more closely with the
teachers.
Other parents also expressed them
selves the same way. AS the parents
filed out they stopped and became
personally acquainted with the teach.
ers each expressing himself enthusi-
astically in favor of all which had
been said and promising to come to
every meeting.
Hot chocolate was served and the
day ended with last smiling chat
and good wishes. A resolution was
passed unanimously for such meet
ings to be held every month.
