Germantown
New School
Move Made
With Ease
By Deborah H. Lenz
WAverly 6-0692
Although the personnel at the
Germantown Elementary School
had been eagerly waiting to be
able to use their new wing and
had expected to start using it
this month, fate—in the guise of
a fire at Dickerson—intervened.
When an early morning blaze
on May 3 leveled the three-room
Dickerson Elementary School,
drastic and immediate action
had to be taken. As a result, the
76 pupils of the Dickerson
School are using the three new
rooms at the Germantown
School.
An amazingly peaceful and
smooth transition has taken
place, with no frayed tempers,
and an extremely cooperative
spirit on the part of everyone.
Dr. C. Taylor Whittier, County
Superintendent of Schools, was
on hand May 4, to help smooth
the new arrangement.
Adjustments have been made,
and the result is a beautiful ex
ample of helpful, harmonious
working arrangements. Mrs.
Kathryn S. Crone, Principal of
the Dickerson School, is using
the new Health Room as her of
fice. Time schedules have been
adjusted to give the Dickerson
pupils their own time in the
cafeteria and on the playground.
Bus transportation has been
carefully worked out.
Some rooms in the new wing,
however, have been put to use
by the Germantown School. The
principal’s and secretary’s offi
ces are being used by Mr. Al
bert E. Warthen and Mrs. An
drew H. Gibbs. The kindergar
ten class is in its new room, and
the All-Purpose room was put
to public use on Monday eve
ning for the PTA meeting. Ger
mantown is glad to be of use in
this emergency, realizing that
“it could have happened to us.”
At the P-TA meeting last Mon
day evening, two new officers
were elected: President, George
C. Paffenbarger, jr., and Vice
President, Mrs. S. D. Delk. The
two other officers will serve for
another year before their terms
expire. They are: Secretary,
Mrs. Fred Linthicum, and
Treasurer, Mrs. James King.
Outgoing president is Carl C.
Grimes, who served for four
years in a most efficient fash
ion. His service was deeply ap
preciated by all P-TA members.
Guests at the meeting were
some of the visiting teachers
and the parents of the Dicker
son pupils.
A band concert was given un
der the direction of Miss Jean
Carol, visiting instrumental
music teacher. The vocal music
teacher, Miss Ursula Caimes,
gave a classroom demonstra
tion, using the parents as pupils.
Another visiting teacher hon
ored was Mrs. Janet Steam,
speech therapist. The parents of
the kindergarten pupils served
refreshments.
