lt Happens Ever Day What's In a Name? Taft students are somewhat confused to find there are three Millers, three Johnsons, two Perrys, two Mitchells, a Buchwald and a Buchwalter, a Rapper and a Rapier, and a Rodger and a Rogf ers, on the faculty this year. Good hunting, kids! Teachers Trim Tresses Two popular Taft teachers decided to part with their long hair this summer. The shorn sheep are Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Littig. The sacrifice was well worth while because the new style is very becoming to both. Nassau Wins Praise After teaching six weeks of summer school at Austin, Miss Capron took a well earned and well enjoyed vacation trip to Nassau. raft Grad raps That swell grad, Marge Nelson Uune '5OJ, is already putting her talents to work. Her essay entitled How the American Legion Serves the Commu' nity won a S600 first prize in a Legion contest. C. A. A. Sponsor Chosen Miss Jordon will be the guiding light of the G. A. A. this semester. We know she will do a wonderful job and wish her the best of luck. Smooth Song LeRoy Bazany deserves hearty con' gratulations. Roy, a Hne saxophonist and scholar, was awarded a S500 scholf arship to the University of Notre Dame. Nice going, fella. Purdue Snags Star Phil Klezek is a fellow to keep your eye on. He is attending Purdue Univerf sity and is making a great name for him' self on the football Held. Chick Evans, Ta.ft's Friend John Koepke and Roger Sandstrom are attending school on the Chick Evans Scholarship. The grant, renewable year' ly, includes tuition, room, and aid for books and fees. District Sup't Visits Paris Doctor Bell addressed the faculty yes' terday in the Social Room. He related his experiences as a member of the UNESCO Conference which he attended during the summer recess of Chicago schools. V W' WW' ' Tl aft Tribune Tait High School, Chicago, Illinois September 28, 1950 P. T. A. Launches Fall Schedule In the limelight at the first regular P. T. A. meeting held on September 18, was Dr. Kenneth Nolan, Health Director of the Chicago Public Schools. Dr. Nolan's address was correlated with the current P. T. A. theme concerning physif cal education. On completion of his interesting speech, new officers for this semester were introduced by Mrs. Rob- ert Keay, president. On September 25, a large group of women met in the Social Room to attend the annual freshmen mothers' tea. P. T. A. board members acted as host' esses, serving delicious refreshments to all present. A most enjoyable afternoon was had by everyone, and new members seemed to be impressed by Taft's active organization. Plans have been made for the P.T. A. to sponsor a barn dance. It will be held on Saturday night, October 21, at the Norwood Park Field House, 5801 N. Natoma. Tom Pemberton's orches' tra will play, ,and Tom will do the call' ing.
