School News

The members of the Banneker
PTA enjoyed a very educational
and entertaining evening on Mon
day. December 10. With the dis
rensing Of all formal business, our
program chairman, Douglas Glib
son, led us into a very interesting
question and answer session. At
ter reviewing the past activities
of the PTA everyone present was
asked to submit a question to the
question box. Out of this devel-
oped a very enlightening discus
sion.
The points of interest were cen
tered around Teacher and Parent
Relationship, Pupils and Their
Problems, Administrative Duties
of the School, and Various Duties
of the Teachers. The verbal ex-
change was lively and constructive.
It is believed that all concerned
were better informed as to some
of the conditions in and around
our school.
1t is hoped that all parents and
patrons will make a sincere eff
fort to attend these PTA meetings
to learn and to help in making
better schools along with better
community for our childfen.
The pre-Chr:stmas assembly was
held Wednesday morning, Deem
Der q. The program began with
the regular morning devotiOns fol
lowed by group singing of several
well-knOwn Christmas Carols.
The guest speaker was the Rev
d. A. Downing, pastor of Mt. EnO1
Baptist Church in Milford. His
topic was "An Old Story In a
New Day" He told the story Of
the Birth of Jesus and said the
coming of Jesus was for a pur
pose. One of the main purposes

With These
Traffic Cop

MIAMI SPRINGS, Fla. II Up II
Traffic policemen here are learn
ing how to resist the wiles of wo-
men drivers when passing out tic
kets for traffic violations.
Police Chief William Renegar
noticed that men and Older women
got their share of tickets but that
Younger women, if not getting
away with murder, were getting
away with many traffic rule in
fractions.
Renegar says his policemen usu-
ally encounter the same basic be-
havior pattern among the young
women drivers. First comes the
wide-eyed look of innocence coup
led with alarm; then some women
may flash a bit of leg.
They'll even accidentally show
the policeman their telephone
number while handing him their
drivers license or ask him what
time he's off duty" Renegar re-
ports. All else failing, they resort
to tears.
In too many cases, he says, the
policemen forgot what they stop
ped the driver for.
