The members of the high school
PTA met on November IS, to dis
cuss the increasing problem of the
growing enrolment.
After the preliminaries, Mr.. M.
A. Glasmire presented the topic.
"HOw We Have Met Our Building
Program Needs For The Past Five
Years. DR.. Ramon C. Cobbs gave
a brief resume of the plant, en-
TOllment, and cost during the pres
ent and past years. Then ne gave
an interesting glimpse into the fu-
ture. 1t seems our enrolment has
increased from 1883 in 1947 to
1866 in the October of 1853. He
anticipates an increase of three
hundred more students within the
next three years due to the in
crease of population from the Do
yer Air Base.
The remainder of the meeting
was a panel discussion directed
by the PTA's guests for the eve
ming: DR.. Robert Stewart, DR.
John Shilling, and DR.. r. w. Helm
They discussed the states build
ing program which is based on the
three points: economy, the desire
of the community to support the
program, and the building costs.

Foreign Language Flash
A QUOTE TO NOTE

The SEATTLE TIMES said edi-
tOrially on 20 March 1853: "Ameri-
cans have long been notorious for
their lack of proficiency in foreign
languages Until recent decades
there was not, in fact, much incen-
tive for young Americans to be-
come linguists The present
responsible position of the country
in world affairs, which is not like
ly to change in years, again finds
most Americans ill-equipped to
communicate intelligibly with peo-
pie of other lands. . The cOun-
try would be better prepared to
exert effective leadership if a
knowledge of one or more foreign
languages had become an accepted
essential in the average Americans
intellectual equipment. In guiding
the educational programs of the
younger generation, schools and
parents alike would be well advis-
ed to insist that foreign language
studies begin al an early age, and
continue until reasonable prOficien-
cy is attained"

Annual PhiIudeIph Trip

Every year the highlight of the
year for the fifth graders is the
annual trip to Philadelphia, an
event looked forward to with ut
most enthusiasm and excitement.
This year was no exception. Bright
and cheerful, the fifth graders set
Off for 'the city" while their
"chariOts", John Annett's busses,
seemed to sense the importance of
the occasion and chugged merrily
along.
AS the fifth grade contains too
many members for all to go the
same day, it was divided into three
groups, each going a different day.
They were accompanied by their
principal, Mr.. Wilkerson; the
school nurse, Mrs. Hammond; and
the four fifth-grade teachers. Mrs.
Blades, Mrs. BressleT, Mr.. Ewoni-
shOn and Mr.. Faix. The big davs"
were December 2, 8, and 4. Bright
and early, while the frost was still
on the ground, the children waved
goodbye to dear old Milford"
and, with a last look at the ele-
mentary school, rolled away.
Upon their arrival, Congress Hall
was first to welcome the blissful
travellers. But that wasn't the Onlv
one. independence Hall, BETSY
Ross House, and Christ Church
were visited in rapid succession
and the last stop of the morning
was the Franklin Institute where
they visited the museum and ate
lunch. In the part known as the
Fels Planetarium they saw and
heard "The Christmas Story. The
afternoon found them in the Aca-
DENY of Natural Sciences gazing
at its famous collection of animals.
birds, and plants, and the manv
other wonders one can find there
The last place they visited was the
Cathedral of st. Peter and st. Paul
They left Philadelphia about $40
p. m, to arrive at the Royal Oaks
Restaurant for dinner. After chug-
ging and putting over hills and
through valleys, they arrived at
the elementary school at 9:45 D.
M, and were greeted by their par
ents. Although tired, everyone of
these adventures will vOuch for a
very enjoyable trip.

SMALL TOWN GIRL" at

Bobby Van, sharp faced and
slim dancer who looks as if he
might be of Polish extraction, does
not have top billing, but he GER
tainly is right up there at the top,
especially in the hippety-hop dance
number which he does with take
off as if he had mounted a pogo
stick. The glamorboy of the show
is Farley Granger. He handles his
comedy part with fineSSe SurpriS-
ing in so young an actor, but all
signing for him must come from
the teenage group.
The story is about a rich and
spoiled young man with a fast
car, fast attachment for mus
ical comedy dancer, Ann Miller,
and a knack for saying the wrong
thing to a righteous small COM
munity judge. The judges lovely
blue-eyed daughter, Jane Powell

80 days for backtalk. The dancer

looking the town square, he bids
in on a box social and get not
only chicken fried, but chicken
blonde, Jane Powell, to serve it
to him. A sympathetic jailer aids
and abets the plot for a temporary
release, supposedly so that the
poor big rich boy can go home for
his mothers birthday. Mother, by

Billie Burke, annual butterfly who
was once in the movies as star
and was married to Florenz Zieg-
