nffian The ability to represent East High as a leader was the main criterion used to select the Kiwanians of the Month. Eight seniors were chosen to have that honor. Along with the title came a couple of other opportunities. Each Kiwanian got to meet some key business and civic leaders from Des Moines. The Kiwanians, accom- panied by Mrs. Barbara Prior, princi- pal, met those leaders while attend- ing luncheons during their respective months as Kiwanians.

The Parent-Teacher-Student Asso- ciation is a group that brings the par- ents together with the teachers and students for the benefit of the school. The group was made up of volun- teers who were willing to contribute some of their time to help improve the school. The PTSA worked very hard and were proud to be able to give Mrs. Barbara Prior, principal, $7,500 raised by concession-stand sales. So far, $3,100 of that money has been put to good use. First, at a cost of $502, six new angel spotlights were purchased for the auditorium. Second, an A.B. Dick copying ma- chine, which will make up to 99 c opies in one setting, was bought at a cost of $2,100. Third, $500 was given to the Science Department. Most of the items bought with the money were to be used in Physics classes. Mr. and Mrs. Kent and Janet Forbes, co- presidents of PTSA, take some time out of their busy schedules to visit with the new principal. Mrs. Barbara Prior. Mr. and Mrs. Keith Mathews brave the cold at a football game to work in the concession stand raising money for the PTSA. Mr. Mathews was the manager of the PTSA concession stand. 30 AFTER HOURS
