We know the mothers enjoyed eating out for a change. Our thanks to the parents who worked so hard on the luncheon, particularly the chairman and her committee. It takes a lot of cooperation on everyone's part to get all the work done. A special thanks to the friends and patrons who attended the luncheon. Congratulations to Charlie Currin! Charlie is one of four incoming freshmen who has been accepted in the School of Music in the Organ Department at East Carolina University in Greenville. He will be studying under Dr. E. Robert Irwin. We feel this is a great honor for Charlie because students now entering the field of music have to audition and are accepted on their ability and talent and not just because they want to go into the music field. The Beginner Day at Warren Academy on Tuesday was considered a great success by everyone involved. Everyone had a good time at the social in the kindergarten classroom.

Our thanks to the parents who took the time from their busy schedules to come and bring their children. We hope you enjoyed your visit with us! The Admirable Crichton by J. M.

Students can be brought for an hour to an hour and a half, to read, to see filmstrips, and to check out books. It is not an all day babysitting service. Because of the loss of twelve books during the summer session last summer, the P.T.A. voted to reimburse the Northside Library in the amount of 135 to replace lost books. As the summer program begins, parents are asked to help safeguard the books. They are valuable to the school, and should not be carelessly mis placed. Parents and children need to regard the privilege of reading books and take special care of them. The new officers for 1977-1978 were installed. Mrs. Janice Crump "took the giant step of responsibility" into the leadership role of P.T.A. president. Mr. Bill Perry was installed as vice president.

Mrs. Crump expressed appreciation for the vote of confidence and the promise for great progress in 1977-1978. Mr. H. Greene, Northside principal, expressed apprecia tion to the parents and to the officers of the P.T.A. for a good year of cooperation. An excellent film on North Carolina, secured and preview ed by Mrs. Hunter, school librarian, was viewed, with the hope of introducing possible points of interest for parents to vacation where their children would gain rich learning experiences.
