At First Session
Plans for a room-mother pro
gram for Palmer school were an

Teacher’s Association meeting
last week. Appointments are in
complete, P-TA president Mrs.

planned to name a room-mother
for each of the grade rooms in
the school.
Committee heads for the year
were announced. Mr. and Mrs.
Clayton Esslinger will plan the
year’s programs. Mr. and Mrs.
George Geiwitz are in charge of
the membership drive. Mr. and
Mrs. Ray Cather will be in charge
of the devotional program. Mrs.
Chek Sandvik will head the hos
pitality committee.
It is the responsibility of each
committee head to choose his
committee members, Mrs. Schae

Committee heads and room
mothers will function as the P
TA executive committee, togeth

mittee will conduct most of the
business of the organization,
leaving meeting nights free for
brief reports and programs.
Viola Daniels was selected as
secretary in place of Mrs. Bar
bara Smart, who is now Outside.
FRIDAY’S THE DAY
Zero-hour for Palmer High
School’s freshmen is fast ap
proaching. Friday has been set
aside as frosh initiation day, and
sophomores are huddling daily
to lineup events which will make
it a true "Hell-Day” for all be
ginners.
MIETZI’S HOME
Miss Mietzi Bleck, Palmer
schoolteacher who has been hos
pitalized in Portland, Ore., all
summer, returned to the Valley
last week. She is much improved
in health, but has not yet re
sumed her classroom schedule.
Pupils Vote
For Council
Palmer High School students
led their elders to the polls last
week, when they marked their
ballots for this year’s student
council members. The students
followed regular voting proce
dure, being required first to reg
ister before receiving a ballot.
Standard election booths were
set up in the basement of the
school.
The student organization again
will be led by Lewis Geiwitz, who
is starting his second term as
council president. Henry Ander
son was named vice-president,
while the task of secretary fell to
Gayle Eckert. Barbara Hecker
will be treasurer.
Student representatives on the
council include:
Margye Mielke, George Her
mon, Helen Mae Stenvall. Jack
Elmore, Sarah Smith, Gloria
Carroll. Harvey Hiber, David
Vigdahl, Betty Harris, Delores
Lentz, Doyle Ross and Wesley
Eckert!
Already the council has held
its first meeting. The group de
voted all of its time at that
meeting to a discussion of elec
tion procedure and a review of
the methods of conducting stu
dent elections held in past years.
The student council is expected
to operate in Palmer High School
in much the same manner as it
has done in past years.
