The Brackenridge Parent-Teacher Association with a membership of 629 can truly be called a Parent-TEACHER Association with a IUOW faculty membership and six teachers serving on the Executive Committee. With such cooperation it has been comparatively easy to plan and execute two delightful reviews for the benefit of the Welfare Fund. In the fall, Mrs. Sherwood Avery gave us Wind, Sand and Stars by Exupery. In the spring, Mrs. Virginia Dicken Flack reviewed Iane Eyre. While welfare has always been the prime object of the association, it has also real- ized the importance of recognizing scholastic, musical and athletic powers. The Brack- enridge P.-T. A. is one of the few associations in the country who annually recognizes these chievements with an Honor Banquet. Prizes are also awarded each year to two senior girls making the most attractive graduation frocks in the sewing classes. Believing that Americanism must emanate from the parents, the year's program was planned along lines pertaining to Americanism in the school, home, church and community. One of the most interesting and instructive programs was a Youth Forum. We may well be proud of the fact that several of our members are serving on the Board E Education, the Board of the State Congress of P.-T. A., and the District and City P.-T. A. ounci . Page 17'

llll. ENUS Glll flwwqwl The Master Pilot of an air-line company who transports people, property and mail by air routes to all parts of the world carries some of the same responsibilities as that of school executives. Safety of life and limb is of utmost importance to both of them. Diffi- cult and complicated as the work of both may be, making it possible to l'arrive, educationally speaking, calls for greater skill because spiritual values are involved. More is expected of the school executive. l-le must chart the course so that some- where between the beginning and the end of the journey, the passenger becomes an initiate, and to some degree will be able to pilot his own craft in the future. Modern progressive education presents situations as new as the industry of aviation itself. Alert to these changes and recog- nizing and interpreting them correctly is one of the many matters we place into the capable hands of the executives pictured here. Through supervision, the individual teacher can be reached and be placed in accord with the planned program to fit the needs of the individual student. Mechanical features are also given attention and ade- quate housing and equipment form im- portant and difficult problems. lt is also an arduous task for our principal, vice prin- cipal and dean to take care of the numer- ous problems pertaining to the discipline and guidance of our students. Because of their understanding and tolerance, and their unselfish devotion to duty they exert an influence that is far reaching and effective. Page 18 '
