KENT 5306 Mohawk Lane Kansas City, Kansas Dear Student Body: Last September, as the gavel was lifted to call the first P.T.A. meeting of the year to order, the school which our Board of Education, principal, fac- ulty, student body, and our P.T.A. had worked, dreamed, and planned for, was a reality. Building Together-A Free World,', chosen as the theme for the year's activities, was directed to the home through Parent Education classes held in October and November. ln these classes parents be- came better acquainted through discussion of mutual problems. With a membership of one thousand, a schedule of interest to every parent and teacher was planned. During the year, programs were presented by speak- ers on legislation, selective service, and medical de- velopments Students participated with gym exhibi- tions, ann explanations of school organizations, in addition to school exhibit night. The more than one thousand three hundred and fifty parents present at the annual Back-to-School-Night became the students and attended classes, they then gathered for the usual social hour. An evening of fun and fellowship was provided by the Benefit Card Party and Square Dance held in January. One of the year,s highlights was a dinner held in April, which honored the faculty and Board of Education. Student exhibit night with the eighth grade parents as guests closed our 1952-53 school year. Your president and other officers have enjoyed the fellowship and association of parents, students, and faculty. We have realized our P.T.A. goals and completed a successful year through the interest and co-operation of our principal and consultant, Mr. H. D. McEachen, and the following officers: Mrs. Justin Bowersock, Mrs. Roy Sharp, Mrs. G. V. Thou- venelle, Mrs. W. W. Gladish, Mrs. Kenneth Carbaugh, Mrs. C. L. Ruthrauff, and chairmen.
