Typewriter Portrait Features Hetuber Of Holy Family Parish By Constance Johnson Columbus, Ga. Reproduced below is Constanle Johnson s Typewriter Portrait which recently featured Mrs. J. ,1. Spano. j The Muscogee Council of the Parent-Teachers Association has selected a president for this year, who, by almost any yardstick, should be a perfect choice for the job. Mrs. Joseph J. Spano has two young children, aged 10 and 12, she is a past president of the P.T.A. unit at Holy Family School, and she has 12 years teaching experience behind her. Moreover,; she is equipped with enough energy to supply TVA, and a sense of humor that would make Bob Hope and Danny Kaye ivious. Of her teaching experience, Sara Spano recalls that she taught the third grade for six years;, then I learned a little more and they moved me up to the fourth grade.” Despite her ample qualifica tions for the job, Mrs. Spano was reluctant to take on leadership of the P.T.A. Council. “I can’t do it,” she said self-doubtingly, to her husband. “Of course you can; you can do anything.” he encouraged her. “Now when your husband says something like that, you at least have to try,” she explain ed. YOUR FAVORITE FURNITURE OR DEPARTMENT STORE (MADE IN AUGUSTA) Sara Kennon Spano was born in Salem, Ala., “at an early age.” as she tells it, though to judge from her sparkling brown eyes, dark, slightly gray-flected hair and tremendous vitality, it could not have been too long ago. Af ter finishing high school in Au burn, Ala., she went to State Teachers’ College in Athens, a unit in the University of Georgia system. There she- obtained a teacher’s certificate, and in 1930 began teaching the third grade at Fort Benning. “I know practically every commanding general In the Ar my—I taught them in the third grade,” she laughingly exag gerates. After a few years of teaching, she became engaged to be married, but times were rather tight and like a lot of couples, there was the financial angle to be considered. At that time, public school teachers lost their positions if they married. Sara was under the impression that this also applied to post teachers. However, she and Joseph de cided to write the Fort Benning commanding general and ask if she could marry and still keep her job. “He wrote right back for us to go ahead— I don’t think he had ever heard about the public school ruling, but he should have thought it unusual with all seven teachers on the post unmarried. I think he was pleased to see us get off!” Mrs. Spano taught at the post for two more years, then left the school room and started helping her husband with the family business, Spano’s Restaurant. As hostess in the dining room two nights each week she finds ful fillment of her favorite hobby- people. “I love people, even when they are hungry, and hun gry people are sometimes inclin ed to be irritable. However, once they have eaten, that changes.” When the Spano’s two chil dren, Kenny (for Kennon) and Kathryn, started to school at what was then St. Joseph’s Aca demy, now Holy Family, Mrs. Spano joined the Parent Teach ers Association. “I didn’t know anything about it then. I used to pray for some one to come along and rescue me from P.T.A. It always met on the hottest day in the year, or when it was raining or when the chil dren were sick, or something. And like a' lot of people, I thought of it as a ’woman’s or ganization’.” Today, however, Mrs. Spano has done an about-face on her attitude toward the P.T.A. One reason is her" husband, who thinks that education of the children is the responsibility of BOTH parents. He is, she states, her strongest backer. Some sort of idea of the teamwork between these two is her observation: “When a couple works together either in raising a family, or running a business, it’s bound to be effective.” Three Projects for Year Mrs. Spano had just been to two P.T.A. meetings, and was very responsive to all questions about the Council’s work this year. “We’ve got three main projects, and good ones too,” she explained. . “First, is a permanent build ing for the state P.T.A. Congress headquarters, to be built in At lanta.” The statewide group now has $65,000 toward the - building, and $1 more from each P.T.A. member in the state would be enough to get the construction paid for this year, she said. A second project is the “Know Your Schools,” program, with the goal of reaching every par ent, every citizen in the county with more information about our present school system and the outlook’ for the future. The third project is to educate the public to the benefits of flu orides. Last year, this was the number one project of the P.T.A. Council, but since nothing has been done about fluoridation yet, the - Council intends to con tinue its efforts to inform the public about this means of pro moting better dental health among youngsters and adults.
