Paihfinder's P.-T.A. lt is an accepted fact that home influences upon young people normally undergo a marked change during the teens. New interests and emotions come into the foreground, new patterns of conduct are adopted, and new parent-student-teacher relationships are created. It is equally accepted, we believe, that neither group can do its best work without the other's intelligent understanding and loyal support. Such a background justifies the existence of Pathfinders' P.T.A. of Deering High and Lincoln Junior High School. The officers for the current school year are: Mrs. James C. Cole, President, Mr. John Ham, First Vice President, Mrs. Melvin Hamblett, Second Vice Presidentg Mrs. Lewis Mussman, Recording Secretary, Miss Madeline Ulmer, Corresponding Secretary, and Mrs. Lyman S. Moore, Treasurer. Band Mofher's Club Officers: President, Mrs. Daniel C. McDonaldg Vice President, Mrs. Paul S. Woodworth, Secretary, Mrs. Milton B. Pratt, Treasurer, Mrs. Charles F. Elston.
