This Is the Story of the
PTA That Wouldn't Quit

and along came the gym and
the bars.
There's still no slide for the
younger children. That's the next
project according to Phil Ed
wards and Mrs. Mildred Fink,
president and vice president of
the PTA. And that will be
tackled when the PTA holds its
bake sale on April 9.
Now 60 years old, the school
used to be church - the old ST
Luke's Lutheran Church. The
development of the church-school
has been illustrated by George
Chadwick, Jr., of Oakmont. It
shows in witty and gentle irony
the many things that need to be
done for the school. The Board
of Education took a look at the
book and did take some steps in
improvement.
1--WE want to thank the Board
of Education" Mrs. Fink said.
Other parents might be moved to
hold the thanks and do more than
send book to the Board.
The PTA also wants to offer
sincere thanks to the people of
the Washington Grove area who
have bought their bake goods and
made the school equipment pos
sible. ESPECIALLY the people who
don't have children of school
age" said Mrs. Fink. "When
they buy our goods and help our
children we think they're being
especially nice"
That does it. We think the PTA
is pretty nice itself.

This is the story of the PTA
that wouldn't quit. It is also the
story of the forgotten" school -
forgotten" in the sense that
other communities seems to get
indoor flush toilets while this one
still has the use of the old out.
door facilities.
1t is the story of the Washing,
ton Grove Elementary School
which also serves Oakmont.
The children of the school got
their first playground equipment
last week - a jungle gym and
horizontal bars. And when they
swarmed out to use it for the
first time, watching parents and
teachers reflected that at least
one child who will be grad
uated' soon has never known
playground equipment before.
The story behind the story of
the new playground equipment is
the work of a small, persistent
PTA that wouldn't quit. 1t seem
ed, at times, that the school lack
ed nearly everything but the
bareSt essentials.
A typewriter was needed. The
PTA, composed of IA active
mothers, held a bake sale and
raised $50 for one. There was no
duplicating machine. Very well,
the mothers went back into the
kitchen for more hours over the
oven and another bake sale.
They bought a duplicating ma
chine with the 500 proceeds.
Modern teaching methods call
ed for the increasing use of film
that was available and film
protector that wasn't. Think
nothing of it - a few hundred
rolls, cakes and pies later the
school got 500 and a movie pro-
jector.
And when it came to the play
ground equipment - well, you've
guessed it. The mothers did
some more "stove homework
