Schools out! Schools OUT"
Before we drift into the lazy
golden days of summer, I'd like
with Dr.. Larimore's permission
to reprint her thought-provoking
year-end report to the Twinbrook
PTA.
Another school year has
passed. With this thought comes
to our minds many, many ques.
tionS:
"FIave we all done our best?
Have we kindled the minds with
imagination and curiosity? Have
we so lived as to indicate to those
for whom we work, it's better to
love than to hate? Have we been
able to admit mistakes and ac
cept constructive criticism? Have
we been sincere in all of our
thoughts, actions, and words
Have we shown appreciation for
all of the kindneSSeS which have
come our way? Have we been
hasty to judge and long to for
give? Have we indicated to our
community the serious respon-
sibility of our profession? Have
we projected sincerity and pro
fessional integrity at all times?
"You, our friends, have made
this year happy one. Your loyal
ty and continued interest in your
school has given to us that taste
of security so essential in Civ.
ing ones best. For all of this
ing ones best. For all of this, we
thank you!"
1t is startling to note the grow
tn of Twinbrook school during
its short existence. In Septem.
Der, 1852, there were 212 students
enrolled. By the end of the cur
rent year, there were approx
mateyl GAS children listed on the
rolls!
Homemaker Club III held, as
one mothers son put it, an "eat

enjoying a tureen dinner, the
club members voted to attend the

Larry Gordon and his friends
really whooped it up with real
cowboy and Indian powwow. His
strictly male guests, wearing
Indian headdresses, had a bow
and arrow contest and romped
through wild cowboy games. AT
the end of the afternoon, the
boys were corralled by Mrs. Cross
for cake and ice cream. Attend

On Sunday, June 13, Penny

the final touch to a farewell ter

Elizabeth depart for New York
where they are to reside tempor
arily before departing for Italy
where Mr.. Schrader will take or
new duties. Mrs. Schrader, be

nurses training in her neighbor
hood and at the school, has given
long and willing service to the
Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, All Club
PTA, Homemakers Club, Civic
Association and any another com

ing children will be sorely missed
in these parts. Bon voyage to
