To Form An Athletic Boosters C lub In Walkerton A meeting will be held Tuesday, September 18, at the Elementary St bool Gym at 7:30 p.m. for the purpose of forming an Athletic Boosters Club. It is desired by many to have such an organization that has done much for other schools of similar size, particularly now that football is a part of the athletic program?j The Walkerton Lions Club was instrumental in first equipping the football team back in the days of Junior High ball and they are the ones that are calling the meeting. It is however stressed, that the Lions Club h not in any way taking the responsibility of this group, bu’ simply are calling the organizational meeting if enough interest is shown by the people of Walkerton and Lincoln Township. If interest is shown, then officers will be elected for the dub and the purpose of the dub will be decided and put into the constitution and by-laws As proposed in advance, such things are planned as assisting with special events such as homecomings and othei athletic meetings and to see that transportation is furnished for away contests of Walkerton High School. Many other projects will also arise for this group to assist in over this and coming years. The creating of more school spirit and better participation by students and adults alike, is planned. Everyoe that has any interest in such lines is urged to attend this organizational meeting. Dr. Jardine To Speak At First P. T. A. Meeting The first meeting of the Liberty T >wn hip P. T.
