Parents and friends of students of Painer
School again wore privileged to be guests of
the school last week at one of several an
nual functions, .planned for their enjoyment.
Those ' who attended okit Night last Friday
found much that was good fun. The entire
show, and in particular the between -acts
performance of the high school band, were'a
credit -to the .faculty. Lr. Paul Bushong,
band instructor, has organized a group of
musicians vorthv. of a. school 'with throe
tines the material. that Palmar has from
which to draw.
Cn the entertainment side of the ledger-,
we lacked nothing last Friday night. liow
ev*r those of us ,rho looked about at inter
mission did rind certain conditions existing
which we feel are a definite threat to the
daily safety of our school children. Fire
exits \ ere totally inadequate to handle the
outsize crowd in the gym last Friday.
jjouble 'doors' -serving-as ex-Pt-s y,at..either
side of the .gym. e.re chained ,or roped, shut
leaving only half the door freo’tb serve- as
exits. For the north entrance, it is unus
ual to have even the single door free -- no
.•'•rnelly both are chained shut. ' Yet students
■p* use the gym/'daily for physical education
classes ana .as a practice .and rehearsal hall
To make -it doubly hazardous, .'the school’s
furnace is directly beneath the lobby at the
south entrance , of the gymnasium .-t the spot
where a fire might be exbecte'd to; break out,
• should, the school over have a fire.
Besides the- inadequate fire'exits , par
ents found school entrance stops icy and
slick. Several visitors fell as they r.ade
their ’“ay from cars to the gyn entrance. Un
til the thaw of the past two or three days,
snow blocked the school's front entrance so.
thoroughly' that front-doors could n\);t bo opr:
oned.
Those conditions bring to r.ind other fac
tory that ..affect the daily living of our
childrejn. '.lory safely are our buses run? Are
our bus drivers skilled and versed in all
safety regulations? ' hat is the true condi
tion of the .playground .equipment discussed
by : Harold Thiifri ’ in'a iubqt: o4ii6]Jial ,B*La£t'
v:eek? In short, just * how much do we* know"
about these and other, conditions in our
schools? * • ; • ! > '
Perhaps re take
Dur obligations to
ward' our school too
lightly, v.7hen v:e feel
our duty as parents
and taxpayers stops
once we’ve settled
into our seats for an
annual entertainment.
Perhaps if re really
had the best inter
ests of our school at
heart, re vould not
be \vidling to be en
tertained at all un
til certain safety
measures for the pro
tection of our child
ren "were enforced.
It’s our school --
the place There our
children spend most
of their raking hours
between the ages of 6
and 16. Teachers can
do nothing without
parents’ support.
Text time re go to
Palmer school, let’s
go' with something
more than the expect
ation of an evening's
ent ert ainrne n t. Let’s
go v’ith the safety of
our children in mind.
