W'r are anticipating a large at- t ndanco at our home football games this year.
We were very well pleased Isist Friday evening to have over 60 per cent of our high school student body and over fifty per cent of our teaching staff plus a large number of adults at the Richmond game. In fact, Huntley had al¬ most as many attending as Rich- n'ond did.  Lot's keep it up.

u etc. present; it was' ejitremely nice to see so many Huntley peo- rxle present; there were 138'pre¬ sent-. Tho number by no means in¬ dicates that ALL persons of in¬ terest in the Huntley school sys¬ tem wore present, but this is one of the largest crowds collected to- .siether for a P.T.A. meeting in ;,ome time. It would be even nicer to sec more persons at the. next meeting that is to be held Oct. 12 at 8:00 p.m.
An item also discussed at the meeting was school-community spirit. Students can really try to do a good job of something whe¬ ther in sports or music, or the like, but without the interest of par¬ ents, friends, other students, etc., they lose the will to keep trying. Many events thus given by stu¬ dents and teachers in the past, for the persons of the Huntley area have had poor support either due to a lack of Interest for one rea¬ son or another, or because maybe the teams were having a hard time of it. Many events, of the past were very poor In attendance; Continued on Page 2 P.T.A.

In June of 1957, he re¬ ceived his Master of Science in Education, majoring in the area of curriculum and supervision, at the aforementioned university. Mr. Perley is also qualified for teach¬ ing other subjects than the afore¬ mentioned. During 1956 through 1957 he served as the Graduate- Assistant to the Department of Education at the aforementioned university. Presently Mr. Perley is exploring the possibility of se¬ curing the Certificate of Advance Study which may be a stepping stone to the Ph.D. or the Ed.D.
