History Of the
Sioux Pass PTA
The Sioux Pass PTA was or
ganized in October Of 1948. There
were % members the first year.
Clifford McGinnis was the first
president. The president appoint {
ed an executive committee and
they and the officers drew up |
the constitution and the bylaws
for the organization. We did not
join the state and national PT-A
the first year. By money-making
projects the first year we spent
1882 and purchased teeter-totter,
swings, basketball equipment and
donated $40 for a baseball suit
for the local baseball team. The
water at the school was tested
and found to be satisfactory. We
have had a program committee
of which the present teacher is
always a member. A wide variety ,
of interesting programs have been !
presented. We have had outside :
speakers, films, music, quiz pro- :
grams, spelling bees and enter ;
tainment by the school children. =
The second year a slide was :,
purchased for the school. A lunch :
committee is appointed each year
and their duty is to arrange for
refreshments after each meeting.
Usually, at the second meeting in
the fall we have a suggestion
box for new projects for the COM
ing year.
The PTA helped the school
purchase a secondhand piano in
1850. For several years the cost
Of the Pre-school clinic for our
pre-schoolers was paid for by the
organization. The bylaws of the
.TA say that no officer shall hold
office longer than two consecutive
years, although we have an an

Ray Norby was the second
president, followed by Casper
Wick, Mrs. Enid Sundheim, Rob-
ert. Johnson and the present presi-

S vice president and Mrs. Chas.
McGinnis is the present secre-

lumber and 16 in 1850 being the
mallest.
We are members of the state
md national PTA and for the

o the national PTA magazine.
: For several years the PTA fur
lished the wieners and ice cream
the school picnic, treats for
he Christmas program and pur-
hased a Santa Claus suit. A
chool hot-lunch program was
furnished for four years. We
purchased a hot plate and a cup
ispenser and the cups.
In 1853 a $3.50 16-mm movie
r~ojector was purchased and has
roven to be a very worthwhile
edition to the school. After the
reflector came "black-out" cur
