Due to the fine cooperation among the members of the As sociation and the community at large, and the fine performance of George Mallonee who was . master of ceremonies, the PTA was able to complete its pro gram of establishing and pay ing for a lunch room which was planned about two years ago. The lunch room which has been operating about five weeks, represents an investment in ? equipment of more than $800, all of which has been paid for. In the two year period that the school has been in operation, more than $400 has been raised by the PTA and spent on win dow shades, stage curtains and other school equipment in addi tion to the lunch room, which makes a total of more than $1,200.
