Mrs. Rowland, the after- noon kindergarten teacher, created a happy atmosphere for the children during this hour. Sometimes its hard for the children to leave the security of their homelife. This orien- tation time helps prepare them, so in September it will be easier for them to say good bye to mom for awhile each day. Having a child myself, I know the feeling many mothers will be having. There are days when I won- der if my son will ever be quiet for five minutes and not ask so many questions, but I know when September comes, I will really miss him and the quiet will be hard to adjust to. Since David, my son, has spent that afternoon in school, he is more eager to dress himself, tie up his shoes and do up his own buttons. He says "I'm big now, mom, I'll soon be in school, so I have to learn lots of things." The Couples Club met Sat- urday evening for a progres- sive dinner.
