46 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, October 31, 1958 King St. H&S Plans Programs For Parents Of Pre-Adolescents King Street Home and School Association differs in makeup from the other associations be- cause each year new Grade 7 students come into the school from at least three other schools in the city. King Street School is a Senior Public School with four grades 7 and four Grades 8. This means that membership in King Street Home and School Association is usually just for two years." We are happy to say that many of our members stay on to help for several years after their chil- dren have graduated, At the beginning of each new school year, a committee visits the homes of the pupils who are coming in from other schools and a personal invitation is given to the parents to the Home and School meetings. We feel that this first contact is an important one and that the newcomers feel at home on their first visit to the school, Our programs are planned to be of interest to the parents of the pre-adolescent children who constitute the group at our school. We present films followed by a discussion or a buzz session, panel discussions, speakers and sometimes group-centered discus- sions. The topics are Health, Safety, Citizenship, Religious Ed- ucation and Parent Education, Instead of a project such as a card party or bazaar we meet our budget by a donation from each family in the school. This is done because most parents at- tending our association are also attending at least one other where their younger children are at school. We are very happy to help with the purchasing of the bars and letters that are presented to our Grade 8 pupils are given a graduation party in June. This is quite an achievement because we have not just one but four Grade 8 classes in the school, This year also proud of our Home and School Library from which our members may withdraw books free of charge. These books are on all phases of child care and new books are being added from year. fo year. Our very capable librarian is Mrs. Charles Ander- son, Because we do not have our new parents with us until Sep- tember we have received permis- sion from Oatario Home and School Federation to hold our an- nual meeting and election of of- ficers in October. This will give us a chance to enlist the help of capable people from year to year. As this is the case we do not have our new officers to in- troduce at this time. The execu- tive for the past year has been Mrs. George Pearce, president; Mrs. George Moss, past presi- dent; Mrs. Richard Britten and Mrs. Frank Jarvis, vice-presi- dents; Mrs. John Mandryk, re- cording secretary; Mr. William Murray, treasurer; Mrs. Thomas Twentyman, corresponding sec- retary; finance chairman and membership; Mrs. George Web- ster; program chairman, Mrs. William Frobel; social chairmen, Mrs. J. Minacs and Mrs. H. Moore. The principal of King Street School, Mr. Lloyd Weiderick, is students each year. Also all the 155 students were invited. We are' new to the school this year. He attended our September meeting and introduced the staff to the parents. The staff has been most loyal in its attendance at our meetings and most co-operative and helpfu! in our endeavors. This year Mr. Everett Maycock is to be staff representative on our executive. TE St. Paul's Guild Meeting Challenge Of New Church St. Pual's Presbyterian Church, at the corner of Wilson road north and Rogers street, was built in the year 1950. For the first few months, only Sunday School services were held. In January of 1951, the mothers of the children attending Sunday School were invited to a dinner, at which a women's group was organized. This group, now known as St. Paul's Ladies' Guild, held its first meeting the following month -- February 20, with Mrs. Harry Gimblett as president. Since that time, the Guild has met monthly with the exception of July and August each year. Each month, the members dis- tribute Cent-A-Meal boxes to the homes of the Sunday School chil- dren. A tea and sale of work is held semi-annually. The date of the Fall Tea for this year is Wed- nesday, November 26. This past July, the group had a home baking sale at the sum- mer home of Mrs. George Weir, Williams Point. Out of the funds derived from these activities this year, $600 was donated to the church niort- gage fund. The. present slate of officers is as follows: president, Mrs. Wil- liam MacDonald; vice-president, Mrs. Ian Chalmers; secretary, Mrs. G. M. Burkhart; treasurer, Mrs. J. E. Wise; Cent-A-Meal treasurer, Mrs. L. N. Daniel. eo Up te 55 miles per gallon. OR THE DKW 3-6 ® 40 - 45 miles per golion @ Pleasure cer styling @ Sports car performance A Thrill To Drive .
