PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION During the past year the Parent-Teachers' Association has continued to be a very vital factor in the lives of the pupils attending the Catholic Central High School. The monthly meetings have always been full of interest and enthu- siam and have given the parents the opportunity of meeting the different teach- ers and of understanding better their children's problems, difficulties, and apti- tudes. From time to time the pupils of the different clubs entertained the mem- bers, and demonstrated some of the work that is done in the classroom. The school benefited not only by the moral support given, but very materially by the assistance given the Orchestra and the Athletic Association. Both athletics and music are important factors and have shown great improvement during the past year. - ' Socially the members have had many good times at their various entertain- ments, the most popular of which have been their Old-Fashioned Dances. At the February meeting a new staff of officers was installed. They were: Mr. A. J. Kessler, Presidentg Mr, E. T. Einspanjer, Treasurer, Mrs. Otis Biggs, Recording Secretary, and Mrs. Fred Albers, Financial Secretary. The retiring officers, who had so ably and successfully conducted the affairs of the organiza- tion from its infancy to its present flourishing condition, were given a hearty vote of thanks for their faithful and cheerful service. As the new officers will receive the same hearty co-operation of the members, it is hoped and expected that the association will steadily increase in members until all parents are en- rolled and thus become a great power for good in promoting and encouraging thorough Catholic Education in the city of Fort Madison.

THE BOOSTER CLUB What is more essential to a school's success than leaders-students who consid- er no price too big to pay for the honor of their schoolg no work too laborious when the result spells success? Realizing this need, September saw the C. C. H. S. students assembled for the purpose of organizing a real Booster Club. Spirits ran high, and all seemed eager to be first-class Boosters. Contrary to the general experience, enthusiasm waned not a bit, and the many successful activities, the true school spirit shown in all un- dertakings proved that the Booster Club of '28 did its utmost to keep C. C. H. S. on the top. Though many run in a race, only to one is awarded the prize, and so it is in this case. The two outstanding names that lead all others are Miss Frances Al- bers, '30 and Mr. Gilbert Kessler, '28, The former was untiring in her efforts to secure advertisements for the Banner and netted in all 991 points. Mr. Kessler, who netted 852 points, never wearied in encouraging by word and example his fel- low students to redouble their efforts in behalf of the school. In all its activities he was their leader. Honorable mention must be given also to Messrs. Carl Super, '28, 6895 Bernard Krieger, '28, 4S9Q Adelbert Solheid, '28, 4563 Robert Guenther, '28, 3765 Robert Linsenmeyer, '29, 377, Junior Kern, '31, 300, Henry Schwarzer, '31, 300, and the Misses Helen Capwell, '28, 536, Geneva Carney '28, 414, Helen Mansheim, '29, 7485 Mary Einspanjer, '29, 594, Johanna Vonderheaar, '29, 335, Lu- cille Rose '29, 3203 Marie Gockel, '29, 300, Anna Greenwald, '31, 229, Ella Buck- man, '31, 3043 Lucille Schott, '31, 302, Rosaline Grossenkemper, '31, 300.
