a-sailing through the snow. L
was truly winter wonderland.
| am not the outdoor type, but
/ couldn't help but get into the
act after seeing so many kids
come flying down the hills.
1t would be nice if it could snow
more often and stick (just fol-
the sledders) while the tempera
lures climbed to 65 or more for
those of us who love the tropical
climate.
Back to normal and pounding

area.
The meeting planned by the
Oakland Terrace PTA for Febru-
ary7 seems to be a must. 1856
Outlook for the Montgomery
County Schools" will be discussed
by a panel of four Grahame
Walker, County Councilman;
Wayne Birdsell, school board
member; Phil Claxton, Legislative
chairman of the PTA Council,
and Lester WEIGH, administrative
assistant on school site planning.
Eve Jacobs, program chairman
for the Oakland Terrace PTA.,
will be the moderator. There will
be a long discussion of the i'm
pending budget, and of course a
question and answer period.
Now is the time for all Of the
members of the PTA to be heard
Don't forget, all of you Plea
santview PTA'ers, that Forbes
Norris, superintendent of schools,
will be your guest speaker at the
regular meeting on February Z,
8 p. m.
This is the time of the year
when many of our thoughts will
be turning to the budget being
planned for the 1956-1957 year
for our schools. PTA's farsight-
ed action in presenting the pro-
grams early will give their mem.
bers chance to quiz the proper
authorities as to what they as
parents and taxpayers want for
their children.
It's healthy sign and one that
all PTA's should follow.
Robert Burkart, president of
the Pleasantview PTA starts his
meetings on time, so be prompt.
