"Praise And Appraise Your Schools"

"Praise and Appraise Your
Schools" is the local theme for
American Education Week,
and properly so. One of the
real highlights to kiddies, par-ents
and teachers is the an-nual

Dr. L. Eugene Jacques has
suggested that visitors utilize
the parking facilides in front

School and ride shuttle buses
to the Elementary School.
• Open house for grades 10-
11-12 was held on Monday
evening with parents follow-ing
a regular school-day
schedule; moving from class
to class, with a minority of
commotion, it might be added,
and a great deal of zest: Open
house for 6 groups of grade
6 and grades 7, 8, and 9 was
held back on.September 23rd.
Visitors are always welcome
at Milton Hershey School;
both at the High School on
Patt's Hill and the Fannie B.
Hershey Memorial Building at
the Main.

parent s, the Elementary
School's staff outlined the
purpose of the program:
"The purpose of American
Education Week is to call the
attention of the public once
a year to the vital role of Edu-cation
in the life of our demo-cracy.
Schools have long been
held to be essential to good
government. It is for the child
that the future must be made
secure.
"American Education Week
is sponsored by the National
Educational Association, the
American Legion, the United
States Office of Education,
and the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers with
the cooperation of lay and re-ligious
groups."•
