They and the young folks were hav-
ing fine time playing outdoor games
by the light of the silvery moon and
bonfire when shower came up and
drove them inside.
Mrs. J. H. Stuart being absent on
account of the death of her father,
Miss Pauline Stuart and assistants
served iced tea and waters during the
social hour We extend sympathy to
Mrs. J. H. Stuart in her bereavement.
Some were under the impression
that the Lynnwood P. T. A. was dead
and that all that was necessary was to
bury it, but not so, it was not dead,
only sleeping and if they had been out
to the meeting the other night they
would have thought it a pretty lively
corpse, as we had a splendid attend
ance and much interest was manifested.
We believe that we have secured a
live wire in the person of our President
Mrs. H. C. Riley, who has had some
experience in P. T. A. work before
coming to Ben Hill, but of course you
all realize the fact that it takes more
than a president to make P T. A.
Let all do their part to make the
work that she plans out that much
easier for her The various commit
tees are to be appointed by the presi-
dent and will be published later.
Yours truly,
Burt Meaker. Sect'y.
