Tuscaloosa l-ligh School is fortunate in having an active and conscientious Parent- Teacher Association. The PTA's budget this year gave generous financial aid to the stu- dent health a n d welfare fund, utilized through our nurse, Mrs. Kelley, for the bene- fit of THS students, The money raised by the PTA barbecue last spring was used to furnish the women's faculty lounge in our new building. The PTA sponsored a Christ- mas dance in the gym, much of the credit for the success of this dance goes to the hard- working hospitality committee under Mrs. Luther Richardson. The members of the band will long be indebted to the PTA for helping to finance the annual band banquet as part of their program to support student activities. One of the most important and yet less obvious services of the PTA func- tioned continually through the school year in Mrs. T. J. Benninger's keeping the people of Tuscaloosa informed of school events through regular newspaper pub- licity. Under the able guidance of Mrs. Karl Perkins, PTA Presi- dent, the many phases of this or- ganization were coordinated in- to a working program th at greatly aided our design for learning both in and out of the classroom.

DUR ADMINISTRATION .. .s . -..Q - In Mr. Harold Greer, our assistant principal, we find a rare combination of disciplinarian and friend to the students, Attendance supervisor for our large high schoal is an important iob well done by Mr. Greer. Our Miss Brooks turned office secretary instead of school teacher is Mrs. Verna Borden, who is Mr. Pittard's secretary and arranger of schedules, A demon for work, Mrs. Bardon is the one to see if your schedule is to be changed. Our photographer was lucky to catch Mr, Tennis Jackson seated long enough to take his picture. Mr. Jackson, a trained engineer, is in charge of all school maintenance. ln a building as large and complex as ours, this requires an able iackvof-alletrades. Mrs. Bessie Mae Lewis, our bookkeeper, smiles ap- proval of her beautiful new office which is adjacent to the guidance suite, Mr. Greer's office and the central office. We are fortunate to have a person who com- bines efficiency with friendliness and helpfulness to stu- dents and teachers alike.
