Back to School Night Mrs. Geraldine Bertovick outlined the year ' s work for the parents of one of her EngUsh classes. The parents then had a chance to ask her questions pertaining to the course. One evening every fall par- ents attend school to follow their children ' s daily schedule. The rigors of a six period day takes its toll of the participants. Although no books are carried, some parents get lost, some ar- rive tardy, but their spirits never waver. This occasion is an ideal time for the families to meet the teachers and to learn about each course. Relief from their hectic pro- gram comes when there is a study hall in their child ' s rou- tine. These are conducted in the cafeteria, and an exchange of ideas with other parents is made over cups of steaming coffee. V ■ i M 1 Intent upon the words of Mr. Rich- ard Snook, the parents of band and orchestra students listen with rapt attention. It was suggested that tlic women wear walking shoes. Looks like it ' s this lady ' s first Back to School Night!
