VISIT KINDERGARTEN: Mrs. Ward Parr (left) and Mrs. Herbert Sager (right) are among the mothers of pre-kindergarten children who are taking advantage of the new program for pre-kindergarten children at Bach school. In previous years, all the mothers were invited to take their pre-school children to visit the kindergarten on the same day. This year, however, mothers and their children are being invited to come one at a time or in groups of two. In this way the children are given a more natural opportunity to become acquainted with kindergarten activities. The children in the picture are Carol Jean Parr and Mrs. Sager's twin sons, Dudley (left) and Douglas (right). The dog being admired by Carol Jean is called Bambi and belongs to Miss Blanche Robison, one of the kindergarten teachers. The other kindergarten teacher is Dorothy Campbell.
