parents. Miss Volstedt, the eighth
grade teacher, was elected president,.
and Mrs. Bernier as secretary and
treasurer. There were some com
mittees appointed during the after
noon. They decided to meet next
month in the evening. Every third
meeting will be in the evening, so
the men can attend. They will dis
cuss the playgrounds next month.
Refreshments were served after the

photographs of the farmers' houses
