Home, School, and Communit West High's P.T.A. works hard to provide services and assistance to our student body. The Fall Membership Drive enables P.T.A. Officers to allot money to the various funds and services they render. In addition to these services, the P.T.A. organizes day and evening meetings which bring Parents and Teachers closer to- gether. These meetings include a BACK TO SCHOOL GET TOGETHER, an EDU- CATION BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL NIGHT, FATHER AND SON NIGHT, a MOTHER- DAUGHTER TEA, ACHIEVEMENT NIGHT and SCHOOL COMMUNITY DAY. From Annual Dues and money-making pro- jects, the P.T.A. serves West High in every possible Way to promote Student Wel- fare and encourage Parent-Teacher par- ticipation in School affairs . Nirs. Carol Sunshine, PTA Membership Chairman. When are they going to serve refreshments? President, Mrs. Flaherty, Treas. , Mrs. Copley, 3rd Vice President, Mrs. McLaughlin.

Second, the Staff sold copies of the paper before and after school on distribution days . Nine regular editions and two special editions, the CHRISTMAS and SENIOR EDITIONS, were published.

The Teach- ers recommend students, with at least a B average, who are then interviewed by the American Legion. Eight finalists are then selected to attend the six day meeting at Temple Buell and C.S .U. The Participants elect Government Officials, all the way from Governor to Dog Catcher, participate in meetings where Parliamentary procedure is mandatory, and finally elect two boys and two girls to represent Colorado in Washing- ton, D .C. at Girls' and Boys' Nation. Through these extensive and exhausting six days, the Students acquire a tremendous knowledge of Government and its functions. 29
