The Mex. P. T. A. had a meeting at 8 p. m. last Friday night. A resolution was passed to have a "kermess" at the Mex. school lawn March 19 at night. The proceeds will be used for the improvement of the Mex. public school. This "kermess" will be a success since we have the kindly co-operation of Mrs. Thos. Lewis, Mrs. Milby, Mrs. Secrest and other American ladies. Mexican dishes, good music, and plenty of Spanish entertainment will be some of the features of this "Jamaica." The following committees were appointed: Program, Mrs. Thos. Lewis. Mrs. B. Kidder, Mrs. I. D. Herrera, Miss C. Casares, and Miss C. Ibarra. Refreshments, Mrs. C. Ochoa, Mrs. Espitia, Mrs. A. Martinez, and Mrs. A. Fernandez. Reception, Mr. A. Fernandez, Mr. G. Cepeda, Mr. A. Acosta, and I. D. Herrera. A few extemporaneous remarks by Supt. Roy Whisenhunt were most highly appreciated by the association.
