Children Alert
Miss Margaret Gassner, of 107 Conway av., has been an art teacher in the Narberth public school since 1926.
She says, "Narberth has the best kids in the whole U.S. and the parents to go with them.
"The children are alert, willing, cooperative and curious. They're interested in what's going on in the town. The town plans for its children and the parents enjoy it. The PTA is constantly alert.
"If you want to grow, there has to be improvements.
"We could use some new equipment in the school," she pointed out, "a bigger and better stage and auditorium, and more storage space."
