Parents And Teachers Aid The Students I The Parent-Teacher Association is an important part of the high school. The PTA is always on the job, working for the better- ment of the school. Under the sponsorship of the PTA is the North High Open House, held two times annually. This enables the parents to meet the teachers and become better acquainted with the school and its functions. Freedom ' s Challenge, a student produc- tion given at the Washington ' s Birthday Assembly, was so well received by the stud- ents that the PTA decided to sponsor an evening performance. The money from the production was used to buy a new set of microphones for the auditorium stage. Holding meetings once a month, the PTA helps the students in many problems that are to be faced. Panel discussions are held, dis- cussing such topics as Youth In A Changing World, State Colleges, and other topics of interest. These panels are open to parents, teachers, and students.
