H lTHE cnmvnos 49 PARENT-TEACHER ACTIVITIES Each year the work of the Albion Parent-Teacher Association seems more worthwhile. Under the leadership of Mrs. W. H. Pedler, as President, the meet-ings this season have been 'both thoroughly enjoyable and instructive. The first meeting was held on Thursday, September 23rd at the Swan Library. This was in the nature oil a reception to the teachers. Short talks were given by Mr. Bergerson and by Bernard Ryan of Albion, after which refreshments were served and a social hour enjoyed. Mrs. Carl Bergerson was the delegate to the state conference which was held in New York City during the second week in October. At the meeting on October lth, she gave her report, which covered in an interesting manner the various meetings and functions of the congress. The Albion P. T. A. had the honor of having its founder and first president 'elected one of'the state officers, Mrs. Ralph E. Brodie, being made state corresponding secretary. On November 18th the meeting was held at the Presbyterian church. The speaker was Dr. Charles Walker of Batavia, who talked on The Three Funda- mentals of Education. On December 9th Dr. Edward Clark of Budalo was the speaker at the meet- ing, which was held at the Swan Library. Dr. Clark talked of children and their health and was followed by a short health play, which was presented by the children of the third grade of the High School. At this meeting there was also a display and sale of toys made by the children of Miss Blott's grade. Under the auspices of the P. T. A. a delightful concert was given on the evening of Friday, December 3rd, by the Glee Club of the East High School of Rochester. ' The membership of the P. T. A. has reached 225. The teachers are one hundred per cent, everyone of them belonging, which is more than can be said of the pare'nts. It is hoped that soon we will be able to say that all of the parents of children in school are members of the association. Then in- deed we can begin to really do things. One of the most worthy of the P. T. A. activities is the serving of milk at school to those children who cannot afford to pay for this necessary article oft diet. This year six other organizations have co-operated and through their generosity twenty-one children who otherwise would be without it, are daily receiving milk. These organizations are the Albion Historical Club, the Yoke Fellows Class of the Baptist Church, the Signor Class of the Presbyterian Church, the W. C. T. U. and the Junior Red Cross. The Orleans Republican also contributed flve dollars and Mr. and Mrs. Sanford T. Church, three. Through the efforts of the P. T. A. the Girl Scouts have been organized in Albion and are doing a splendid work. Their leaders are Mrs. Francis Sturges, Mrs. Stanley Marsh and Miss Helen Burrows. On October 11th and 12th Mr. Robson, proprietor of the Ria.lto Theatre, generously gave one-half the pro- ceeds of the shows for those nights to the girl scout work. A number of card parties were also held in various homes one evening for the benefit of the work. At this date the P. T. A. season is only about half completed. There are other splendid talks to come, other good times to be enjoyed, other worthy work to be done. All parents are urged now to join. Every teacher has demonstrated her interest in the children, surely every parent can do no less.

0l lll!l l THE CHEVRON l Uill l0 -'i 'gI1 -in-1-- .-::::.:' ig-e L ii- l a-L lf.. -.-.a,--.:.-.er W' T-': 1l In this issue we are proud to devote considerable space to science, f'or both in our academic courses and in our extra-curricular activities science plays no small part. Albion High School is unusually f'ortunate in having such a strong department: not only headed by a man whose teaching record is un- surpassed, but also in having such an unusual correlation between the so-called pure science and applied science as taught in our department of agriculture. To show that scientific subjects do not hold a forced claim on students' time. we have only to call attention to the science club with a membership of more than fifty and an average attendance of almost the same number. The sundry activities of the Young Farmers' Club show that this group also is vitally in- terested in practical science. VVe call special attention to our articles by Mr. Packer ami by Walter Mona- celli, whose senior essay on the chemistry of war won the Coann prize, to the article describing the special project of the biology classes and to the repre- sentation of the Science Club key which appears on the inside cover. We are particularly pleased to print in this issue a group of freshman poems from Miss Greenwood's classes. The poems are cleverly written and show more individuality of thought and expression than many an attempt by upper-classmen. They seem unique and more colorful than previous freshman attempts and we think that the young poets should be complimented on them. They are an unusually fine collection and are a welcome addition to our poetry section. Page Twenty-one
