Oct. 12-18, 1922- The present teaching staff of the new Leaksville graded school started a parent-teacher organization this week. There were 26 persons present for the organizational meeting.

Professor J.M. Robbins, principal of the school, acted as chairman of the meeting. He gave a splendid speech on the purposes and advantages of a parent-teacher organization.

J.K. McConnell, secretary of the YMCA, led the prayer, and the entire group sang "Love Lifted Me."

After the election of officers and committees, Mrs. H.P. Mansfield gave a reading of "My Dog," Mrs. McConnell and Miss Fesperman sang a duet, "When I'm Gone You'll Soon Forget," and Mrs. Moran Hopper played several selections on the piano.
