PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION In a letter written by Mrs. Warner, Membership Chairman of the P. T. A., it was stated that This organization stresses the vital issues of health, safety, good citizenship, character building, the wise use of leisure, the advantage of voca- tional and economic effectiveness, and other beneficial objectives; thus linking in common purpose the home and school for the child’s best good. It would be difficult to describe the purpose of the Association more aptly. To carry out its fine purpose, the P. T. A. arranged a series of meetings, attended by both faculty and parents, with programs of educational lectures and entertainment. In addition, a committee of the P. T. A. gives aid to needy students who otherwise could not attend school.

BOARD OF EDUCATION The meaning of the word public in public schools implies the necos- sary cooperation between the citizens of the community and the school itself. This cooperation is vested in the Board of Education, whose members form school govern- ment. since their approval is necessary in the school's curricular activities, and the financial matters pass through their hands. The members of the Board are elected by the community itself for a term of three years. Members of the Board of Education are not paid a salary. They give freely of their time and efforts for the benefit and improvements of Education in Downers Grove. BAND PARENTS ASSOCIATION Each parent having a boy or girl in the high school band is auto- matically a member of the Band Parents Association. It is due. in great part, to the work of the association that we have a band of which we may well be proud. Through their efforts, enough money is raised to finance the various contests entered by the band and also enough money to purchase new instruments, no easy task considering the many recent additions to the bond. No little part of their work is directed toward interesting the students in joining the band's organization.
