Wasilla Organizes
Regular P-TA
WASILLA—The first formal
ly organized Parent-Teacher’s
Association ever to be formed
in Wasilla, was created at the
November meeting of parents
and teachers. Heretofore the
work was conducted through a
loosely knit group of interested
residents who elected a chair
man only.
Officers were elected at the
initial meeting of the P-TA
chapter. Mrs. Ralph Courtney
exchanged her chairmanship qf
the old group for the chapter
presidency. Mrs. R. E. King
was named vice-president, and
Thomas Carter was elected sec
retary-treasurer.
The first action of the new
chapter was to plan a member
ship drive for the next month
in an endeavor to double the
attendance at January’s meet
ing.
Standing committees for the
year’s work named by Mrs.
Courtney were:
Membership—Ernest Line,
Mrs Wenier Harvey, Mrs.
Trent Johnson; refreshments
—Mrs. A. R. Carson; pro
gram—Miss Peggy Cronk.
The latter pair will choose
new assistants for each month
ly P-TA meeting.
The regular meeting date of
the chapter was changed to the
second Thursday of each month.
School Head Gets
No Official Word
Of Accreditation.
WASILLA—The local school
has received no official word
concerning the loss of high
school accreditation, it was an
nounced this week by James
Pendleton, superintendent of
schools. A newspaper account re
cently reported that Wasilla had
been removed from the list of
accredited high schools.
Mr Pendleton said that ac
cording to information given him
by the Northwest Accerditing
Association last summer, the lo
cal high school should carry full
accreditation for another year.
Mr. Pendleton had asked for
information on the matter, and
he was told that present rules
require an enrollment of 30 stu
dents. When a total enrollment
falls below 30 for two consecu
tive years loss of accreditation
results.
Wasilla now has only half that
number of high school students,
but the enrollment has not been
below 30 for two consecutive
years. An effort is being made
to remove this attendance re
quirement for Alaskan high
schools in rural areas.
As a result of the newspaper
report, two Wasilla high school
students have transferred to a
larger school which is still fully
accredited.
