Large Group Attends First P-TA
Meeting of Year at Porterdale
Porterdale — Smiling faces
of students flanking a large
seal of the Parent-Teacher
Association above which “Me
mbership Goal 300” was print
ed welcomed the large group
of Parents and Teachers who
attended the first PTA meeting
of the Porterdale School for
1962-63 on Thursday evening,
September 20, at seven o'clock.
Prior to the meeting, rooms
were open at six-thirty for
parents to meet the new
teachers and see the school
environment in which children
lived during a school day.
Mr. W H. Walden called the
meeting to order and welcomed
each one. Mrs. A. D. Whitte
more. Fourth Grade Teacher,
brought a lovely devotional on
the theme “Thus a Child
Grows”.
Mrs. M. B. Shaw who re
placed the Secretary-elect Mrs.
Catherine Horton, read min
utes of the last meeting in April
1962. She also gave the
treasurer's report in the ab
sence of Mrs. Hollen Sears. Jr.
Three recommendations from
the Executive Committee were
read and voted on individual
ly. The first concerned the
purchase of two loving cups to
award each month to the win
ning rooms having most votes.
It was believed they would be
an incentive to work for this
project from month to month.
They were to be awarded in
addition to the usual gift of
money for use in the class
room. This met with unanimous
approval. The second recom
mendation dealt with the idea
of selecting winning rooms in
the grade count awards on the
basis of percentage rather than
actual count. This was deem
ed wise in view of the fact that
some classes had only twenty

Welcome
Neighbor I
M. 8. M.
“If from cherished childhood
scenes
Fate and fortune Lave brought
you here,
And your heart still homeward
leans;
Remember—New friends with
time grow dear.
Your joys, your sorrows are of
ours a part.
So. help us to know you that
we may share
This experience of Life, with
open heart;
Welcome Neighbor! We’re glad
you are here.”
Dr. Charles Gibboney, pastor
of Reid Memorial Presbyterian
Church of Augusta, who was
guest speaker at the Rotary
Club’s Ladies Night program
Tuesday, gave his hearers a
formula for “Getting More Liv
ing Out of Life”.
One of his points was, “Make
a New Friend Every Day”.
“Impossible! We simply do not
have the time”? Is it? Perhaps
if we face the question honest
ly, we will admit that the very
busiest people we know, are
those who usually have the
most friends, provided they are
busy about the right things!
There are “telephone” and
“pen” friends who never see
each other, but the ties of
friendship are strong, never
theless. And the happiest of all
people are those who have
learned that the only lasting
happiness they have, is that
they have given to others.
Among this week’s friend
ship opportunities we have Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Dechau, Jr.,
their mother, Mrs. W. E. Dus
enbury and children, Gregory
10, Gretchen 7, and Stephanie
3, who have recently moved
from Midville to make their
home in Almon.
Mrs. Dechau was immediate
ly enlisted as a teacher at E. L.
Ficquett School. A native of
Georgetown, S. C„ Mrs. Dechau
enjoys books, music, flowers
and fishing as hobbies.
Mrs. Dusenbury, who assists
in “keeping the homefires
burning”, finds the children
her prime hobby, but likes to
sew, and enjoys family recrea

Mr. Dechau. also a George
town native, is DCT Instructor
at Newton County High; and
likes fishing as a hobby, in
