He comes from Clinton. Newbold P. T. A. Groups The Newbold Laboratory School P. T. A. holds its meetings on the second Monday evening of each month. The organization is divid ed into groups, seven in all, ac cording to the sections of town from which the children come. Group meetings are held twice a month in the several communi ties. The program committee of the several organizations plans the program of study for the year. Along with this study, the groups assist the school in many ways. Last year the Newbold P. T. A. gave the school a large flag of North Carolina, a large flag of the United States, 12 dozen glasses for the cafeteria, 100 spoons, 100 forks, a large dish truck, and a bicycle rack. The Association also had the entire cafetria screened and the tables painted. Certain groups bought albums of records for music appreciation; an other groups bought twenty-five dol lars ($25.00) worth of community song books for use at the assembly periods. Each year the P. T. A. sponsors a Hallowe’en carnival and this school year will be no exception to the rule. Already a group has painted the teacher’s rest room and equipped it with curtains, drap- peries, scarfs and the like.
