Sometimes they are not heard of again because of various reasons. It may be that they are impossible to grant or are against the policy of the school, others may be approved and passed because they are beneficial.

feel the loss of our old members who have been very loyal to us and some will be diffi- cult to replace, but for the most part they deserve bigger and better things. My opinion (Band is that when the Treasure Island Exposition opens next year, our band will be uni ' iormed quite differently from the old and ready to do its 1 school honor. — Victor M. Schott taken t-txa cnees’ DISSOCIATION ith the keen interest and hearty cooperation shown by the pupils, officers, and members, the P. T. A. is going steadily forward. Students and teachers have helped with our programs. We have tried this year to acquaint the parents with our school and its methods of teaching, by visiting some classroom before each meeting. The teacher and students demonstrated their particular work. From all reports, both teachers and parents have de- rived a great deal of good from these class demonstrations. A group ot interested mem- bers are also attending a School Education Class held in the Administration Building which acquaints them with the various teaching methods used throughout Berkeley. Our various activities have progressed to our mutual satisfaction. Programs were compiled and printed for the entire school year and sent to each home represented in the school. The response to the clothes drive held by the Student Aid Committee in No- vember was very gratifying and much useful clothing was sent to the Council Clothing Room. The Balloon Dance held in Septemb er was a success and the Student Aid Card Parties have also been well attended. We have not reached our goal on membership, however only a few more members are needed and we believe with such cooperation as has been shown this year that our drive will succeed in January. The faculty have joined one hundred per-cent. Dr. Standley has been most helpful and considerate He is never too busy to meet with the various committees or individual members Miss Weller and Mrs. Parker with their friendly interest and work have been helpful in making this P. T. A. year a success. — Mrs. J. A. Martin, President , Parent ' Teachers Association
