CESSFUL MEETING

One Of the most successful meet !
ings of the Plentywood Parents and
Teachers Association took place Fri
dav. November 18th at the Plenty
wood High Scvhool. Throughout the
whole evening, there prevailed a spir-
it of cooperation among the parents
and teachers and guests assembled
thus enhancing the work which the
P. T. A. is endeavOring to accom-
plish for the children of the city.
An interesting program was given
by the children OF the second grade
under the direction Of Miss Olson, in
structor. A competition in reading,
made nearly all OF the pupils the win
ners. Another group of the second
grade children gave a little song of
Pilgrims and Thanksgiving a
very entertaining number to the
crowd gathered in the hall. Other
numbers given were a vocal solo by
Mrs. c. G. johnson, an excellent cor
J. net solo by Harry De Silva, a piano
solo by May Grave, and another vocal
solo by one of the high school pupils,
Ruth Loucks.
: Mr.. Glorvick, superintendent of
! schools spoke on the Students COun-
. Gil, whereby the government of the
= school is put entirely in the hands Of
), the pupils. This Council which is
: elected by the students in the school
makes its rules, and if they are brOk
en-, it is this body that inflicts the
y punishment. There are several stu
\ dents at present who have received
J so many dement's in their school rec
ords that they have come under tn
surveillance of the Council. If the,
" do not do better in the future, the,
= will have to be sent home by tn
Council with the request to stay home
n Mr.. Glorvick then asked whether
was best to warn the parent
!. first of the action of the Counc
through the use of cards; any stu
dent receiving 10 demerit points
bring home a blue card, any receiA
ing Is to get a green card, 20 point
red, and when % points are had, tn
student is sent home. 1t was sue
gested later by one of the parent
that this method of notifying shou
n., be carried out. But as Mr.. GlorviC
stated, it is up to the parents whetht
they wish such a system put in for
or not.
A method of roll call which slim
lates attendance of parents and teac
| ers has been adopted by the P. I. 4
! Parents having children in sever
grades can represent all the sever
grades, but guests can only represe
the grade of the child or parent
whom they were invited. The sum
tai Of these persons representing t
different grades is then taken as
roll call, and the grade having t
highest number on their list receiv
the banner for the month. This mon
the Second grade was given the ba
ner, having forty persons in the roc
who had come as guests or pare1
/ OF second grade children.
During the regular business me
ing, it was decided that the P. I.
give a supervised party for the hi
school pupils sometimes in Janua
A committee consisting of all the
ecutive committee and the follow
members was selected:
