In Prance and Italy it was customary to visit cemeteries on the' eve of All Saints' Day to pay tribute to the dead. ' Today, almost everywhere around the world people observe a time of remembering, not only for those who gave their lives in battle, but it has come to be "a day of personal and family commemoration". 1 The origin of Memoria Day in the United States has been attributed to different persons and to various localities. Cassandra Oliver Mon-cure of Virginia has been credited by some and others believe the day realy started in Boalsburg, Pa. Many people claim Miss Fmma Hunter instituted the idea in 1864, when she c err led flowers to the tomb of her father, Colonel James Hunter. He commanded the 49th Pennsylvania Regiment that took part in the Battle of Gettysburg. While in the cemetery Miss Hunter met Mrs. Meyer, whose son had been killed in the war.

Dodson said the meeting would be between teachers and board members with no member of the school administration present. He said it is hoped this action will bring about a better understanding of problems and result in more harmonious relations. Minutes of the last board meeting were read and approved as corrected. Dela Motte, Larson, Nassau & Associates were hired to prepare preliminary plans for the proposed addition to Marion L. Steele High School. Mrs. Leonore (David) Kerr objected to "this early" employment of an architect. She said the employed company and but one other architect had been interviewed and believed others should be heard before a final action is taken. In her request for further consideration she was critical of Dela Motte and Associates. She said many complaints, some still not satisfactorily adjusted, exist on work performed at Steele. She cited poor accoustics, construc-tion flaws and a lack of adequate supervision of construction by the architects. Mrs. Kerr called action to employ architects at this time "premature" and suggested 60 days prior to the November general election as an adequate time of appointment. The vote to employ was 3-2 with Kennedy and Kerr casting no votes. A resolution was approved commending Mabelle Dickinson on being named president elect of the North F astern Ohio Teachers Association. It was noted that her election has brought honor to the Amherst school system. More than 30,000 teachers are members of NFOTA.

Armour brought Amherst Comets from the depths of the Lakeland Conference to a league championship in 1969. And in the two succeeding years Amherst has been in contention for the championship until the end of the season. In the four years at Amherst, he has accumulated a 24-12-1 record, good for a 64 per cent win percentage, best of any other Comet football coach. Other accomplishments include being named "Coach" of the Year" in the Lakeland Conference in 1969. In the same year Armour led the Comets to number one ranking among 140 Northeastern schools in defense. His teams have earned the reputation for their hard hitting,run-over-them offense. In addition, since he assumed his job in Amherst in 1968, a total of 20 Comet gridders have received full or partial grants from colleges for their football abilities. For the 32 year-old Armour, Parma will be his fourth head coaching job. It is not known presently who will replace Armour as head coach.
