Mayfair PTA Reviews
Past And Looks Ahead
At Silver Anniversary

Chambers became affiliated with
the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers and Mayfair followed
suit in 1924.
Mrs. Bernard Clarke, then a sub
stitute teacher at Mayfair and act
i've in the Mothers Club was ap-
pointed Mayfair PTA president by
Joseph E. Petit, the principal, Mrs.
Clark, now at Cleveland's Taylor
School, will be a guest at the ami
versary party.
Initial planning brought the new
unit face to face with the problem
Of finances, but realizing one must
often spend money to earn money,
the women bought equipment and
started a series of card parties
which proved successful. Thus
their treasury was off to a start.
The first sponsored classes came
in 1912 when gym classes were
started as a regular school activ-
ity. The next year the unit swung
into philanthropic work which has
continued to be one of its chief
activities.
Mayfair has always been con-
cerned with the safety of children
going to and coming from school.
They were instrumental in getting
the city to install traffic signals
at the Mayfair-H Hayden intersection

East Cleveland citizens have had
the privilege of participating n
one of the greatest Community
health programs ever successfully
carried out in the world. This was
the mass X-ray in the battle
against tuberculosis which marks
the 1949 report of the city's De-
partment of Health with statistics
heretofore unavailable.
There were 1929 chest x-rays
taken of East Clevelanders of
which 1886 were found to be nor
NAL. The other 403 had some alb
normal finding such as TB, sus-
pected TB, some other chest dis
ease or heart disease which was
revealed by means of the x-ray.
While 1949 revealed the highest
number of newly diagnosed tuber-
culosis cases in the history of the
department, the figure need give
no cause for alarm. This was the
purpose of the survey, to search
out unknown tuberculosis cases
and to bring prompt treatment to
the patients. Of the eight tubercu-
lar patients who died during the
wear, five died from other causes.
The Cuyahoga County TB clinic
reports GIT visits, 459 X-ray ex-
ans, IL hospital admissions and II
hospital discharges.

ly, or YOU may call in person at the

Next Wednesday is the time for
all Mayfair P.T.A.'ers, past and
present, to get together in recog-
milton of % years Of service to
their school and the community.
On that day, February 8th, at
500 pm. Mayfair will celebrate
its Silver Anniversary. Mrs. Clar-
ence Guenther, President, and the
Executive Committee have put
forth much time and effort to make
this a gala occasion.
Miss Sarah Wynkoop, Principal,
also extends an invitation to Open
House.
Those who haven't been to May
fair recently will be pleasantly
surprised to see the beautifully
redecorated classrooms with new
lighting equipment.
For their silver anniversary pro-
gram Miss Hauch, who taught at
Mayfair for 25 years, will come
over from Chambers School to pay
tribute to the founders of the May

have carried on its program so
splendidly all through this quarter
of a century. Music will be furn-
ished by the Ohio Bell Quartet and
the Kirk String Ensemble, under
S. Robert Fraser, will play during
the refreshment hour.
Turning back the pages of May
fair records, one notes with pride
the fact that through the years,
the PTA has been a financial sup
port, purchasing gifts and doing
welfare work that could not posi-
bly, have been accomplished with
out its ever willing help. In help
ing others, Mayfair has become
strong unit in the city's PTA circle.
When Mayfair school was opened
in the fall of 1920, the mothers of
the first pupils, eager for closer
school contact, combined with
Chambers to form the Mayfair

ton, Sisters of Ursuline Academy,
and the Archean Garden Club of
East Cleveland.
East Cleveland Blue Star Moth
ers, Shaw High School faculty and
Superior School checks were re-
ceived Tuesday. Superior's contri-
button comes because two of its
own pupils are among the victims
of polio. One, Frank Daniels, is
able to return to school, and the
other, Carol Patti, is still at Rain
bow Hospital.
Chairman Adams reports an un-
usually good response to the drive
in the neighborhoods where ther
are polio-ill children. "It's a case
of having polio come close to them,
seeing what it really means to
the sufferer and his family" COM
ments a captain in one of these
districts.
If you have been missed, were
not at home when the volunteer
called for your contribution, you
can still give. Send your check to
the March of Dimes campaign, c/o
East Cleveland City Hall. Contribu-
tions are being received there at all
times. Don't be missed. Send it in.
