F.reo Work Pushes
Highlands Hospital
Toward Completion
The recent free carpentry
work that has been going on
at the Highlands Community
hospital by the Men's Broth
e-hood of the Highlands Bap
tist church has set a high
mark for other groups, offi
cials say.
The work of the 20 to 24
men ? much of it done at
night ? has gone far in help
ing toward the completion of
many of the rooms. This work
has gone so rapidly that the
board of trustees now says
# that much free plumbing
work is needed to catch up
with the carpentry work.
The black top hardsurface
on the entrance driveway to
the hospital was completed
Friday afternoon.

SCHOOL AS IT
FORMERLY WAS
P. T. A. Program Second
Ln Series On School
At Highlands
Highlighting the December
meeting of the Highlands Par
ent-Teacher association was the
program given by 16 students
from the eighth grade, under
the direction of Miss Ethel Cal
loway, high school teacher.
The program, the second in a
series of three on Highlands
school, pictured "Our School As
It Used To Be". This portraya!
was the outgrowth of a unit the
eighth giade is doing on a com
munity survey of "Highlands
Old and New". Mavis McCall
gave the intrpductlon, and Ray
mond Cleaveland the "thank
you" to all who helped. Joan
Hicks' topic was "Other Sources
of Information"; Sue Hopper
the "History of Highlands";
Berllne Vinson, "Industry"; and
Bess Russell, "Oddities". The
papers were interesting and well
presented, and included some
amusing Incidents of the pio
neer days.
The students on tne program
wore the costumes of the early
days of Highlands. Elizabeth
Husse'l, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Dorln Russell, wore her
great-grandmother's dress con
sisting of a black alpaca skirt
and shou'der cape with white
blouse. The bonnet, however,
was missing and the current
dressmakers, being unfamiliar
with such things, said they
could not make one. Not to be
outdone, Mr. Russell said he re
membered quite well his grand
mothers bonnet, and proceeded
to cut and fashion one from
memory for his daughter's use.
A feature of the program was
the old-fashioned spelling bee,
with Mary ? Jo Newton as the
school teacher, using the long,
long words from the blue-back
spe'ler, each syllable being care
fully pronounced as it was slow
ly spelled out. Color slides of
the birds of this section, studied
by the eighth grade, were shown
by Mrs. Robert E. Early as a
part of the program, the slides
having been borrowed from the
State museum.
Thirty-three P. T. A. mem
. bers were present for the meet
ing, which was opened with the
' devotional by the Rev. R. B. Du
Pree. Mrs. W. C. Newton, presi
dent, presided. Mrs. Manila
Krug, membership chairman,
announced a total membership
of 62. with 14 new members,
and the notation that 26 of the
members are fathers. Other re
ports were made by Mrs. Harry
Holt, treasurer, and Mrs. Louis
Edwards, children of the enter
tainment and finance commit
tee.
Refreshments were served in
the school lunch room by a
committee composed of Mrs.
