: T%l8 Indeed was a fitting
Iftr such an association for oirr
Spalnhour - Sydnor, $10.00. A
Womasiess Wedding put on for
Book S^k.cand The District
hool '^n to raise the bud-
ring the first year 1910-
twenty members were en-
and $56.96 spent. In 1921
tlm,-first sqpsii«8hlp drive was
lnaugurate«\a4l’^aes for state
o&ildren were then being taught' and national As'sbcla'tloned paid
to a ramibling, frame building,
with sliding partitions between
Ihe rooms, inadequate benches,
and practically no equipment.
From the very first the rules of
the organization held that mem-
iership should not be restricted
to those connected with the
school but be extended to any
one, young or old, who was in-
•arested in our school and our
from local dues »llected. Since
1919 a special collection had
been taken to pay the state and
national dues as the local dues
W'ere discontinued for fear of
written to Mrs. Mollie Ginnings
keeping members from joining.
In 1921 the recommended 25c
dues were adopted. In 1927-28
the budget plan was adopted and
is still in use. The first budget
on the arnorr ’when it ww built
and used for that’’ purpose by
the school.
Nor were the efforts to secure
the voting of the supplement in
193$ without precedent for^we
find the active work of the asso
ciation-lucHiberB for both bond
Iseues when the present school
buildings were contemplated.
Mrs. Smoot tells an Interesting
anecdote of the first bond issue.
The school was then In danger
of being closed for two years be
cause of lack of funds and ade
quate building. The president
and ladles of the Betterment As
sociation aroused the- school
children and teachers and form
ing a parade marched through
main street bearing banners and
demanding an adequate building
and schooling for our children.
Needless to say public opinion
was 80 aroused that the minutes
of the following year bear record

towing years. Its goal was for
better sanitation, more beauti
ful grounds, better equipment,
Munfort for Its teachers and co
operation between school and
borne. Many changes were made
ill the name of the association
finally adopting in 1915 the
name "Woman’s Betterment As
sociation of North Wllkesboro"
nd holding unto that until
■dopting with the state in 1919
toe name of "Congress of Par-
eats and Teachers." But no
toange has been made in its aims
■Bd ambitions to be a real aid
te our school in every way pos
sible.
Many changes were also made
to the day and time of meeting,
■ach day of the week from Mon
day to Friday seems to have
been tried,—several times hav-
tog the old rule of—"the first
Monday after the first Sunday”
—or some such statement, until
wur present day of the second
'Wiursday of each month became
sor permanent date of meeting.
Always a spirit of willingness
has marked the association and
many fine officers have given of
Jheir time and abilities to its
fcadership. We will record the
names only of the presidents
with their term of office and the |
jorresponding superintendents;

wr stress being put on the und-
Btanding of problems that both
zrents and teachers were called
reports 243 paid members the
highest record for the associ
ation, our present membership
being 237. However we have in
this year of 33-34 the record of
attendance on the monthly meet
ings for our yearly average is
between 75 and 80. We find sev
eral records of committees being
sent out to invite and urge at
tendance on the meetings and
even of rounding up a few more
after the meetings had started
so that a quorum might be pres
ent. One interesting item tells of
a rhyme contest conducted
among the students of the high
school — the best rhyme an
nouncing P.-T. A. meeting to be
shown on the movie screen sev
eral days before the meetings. It
is with great satisfaction that we
see today the real and sympa
thetic interest shown in Parent-
Teacher recorded by the attend
ance on the monthly meetings.
The scholarship medal given
today originated in the early
.vears with this association. Med
als for attendance, scholarship
and improvement were given un
til this responsibility was taken
by the school board and other
organizations. Prizes for neat
and well kept rooms seem to
have given the impetus to the
present day attendance prize. A
banner was the first attendance
award, being passed to the win
ning grade each month, and used
until the present system of giv
ing money was adopted.
Grade Mothers were introduc
ed in 1926 and after many dis
heartening and un.satisfactorv
trials have developed into the
splendid group functioning to
day in 1934. The co-operation 1
and understanding between par-|
the high lights have been record
ed here. For further record of
Summer Round Up Campaigns,
Health Crusades, showers for
furniture and pantry for the
Techerage and such and such
would fill quite a volume. We
find we have a background of |
fine aspirations, intense, loyalty |
and untiring service to our j
school and its needs. We have
gone a long way since the dmys
when it was necessary to wash
the school windows and disinfect
the buildings and wage fly cam
paigns In the town but there are
still many fields for us to ex
plore and conquer. Mothers are
here Interest and educate In
the broad understanding of our
ideals and high standards for
our children, fathers to awaken
to the responsibility of preparing
a safe and sane community for
our young people, teachers to
stir to an active and loyal co
operation with our efforts and
an ever present need for the
giving of our best to the Par
ent-Teacher work.
