A rising vote of appreciation was
given Mrs. Waites for her qnfailing
energy and splendid ability during the
last two years as President.
Th*e Association is to sponsor a play
given by members of the “Little
Theatre Guild” of Atlanta at the school
Auditorium Friday night, Mnv 2nd.
Mrs. .1. K. Philips moved that a
Fathers' meeting be held. This motion
passed unamimously. ft has been ’re
cognized for some time that one of the
greatest needs of the association is thn
o-operation of the father. The excu
tivo t>oard was named, the committee
to arrange details of the meeting, mak
ing it as intresting and as pleasant as
possible, at the same time, acquainting
the fathers with the work the organize
tion is trying to do.
Also unanimous was the vote in
(
structing Mg. Baldwin to carry to I
Washington, Georgia to the Eighth
District High School Association meet
ing there Thursday, Friday and Satur
day of this week the invitation to come
to Covington next year.
Our school is reprenentated this year
in music and voice only, It is expect
ed that next year the Covington child
ren will be entered in every line of ac
tivity undertaken by th High School
Association and that they will carry off
their share of the honors. Covington
has entertained the High School meet
twice, always with much pleasure and
profit to herself. The meet is larger
now, (between two and three hundred
representatives) and possibly it is ra<
ther large for a small town; but not
not too large, for there's interest in
Education in Covington and
terest is sufficient the task is small.
If this invitation is accepted it will fol
low in about a month the district meet
ing of the Parent Teachers who have
been invited to meet here and who
have accepted. This latter meeting
however is not very large.
Imprssions of the district meeting at
Monroe about two weeks ago were
given by several who attended and all
seemed glad of an opportunity of being
connected with so important an organi
zation
