Grover A. Cucquekkoi President The main object of this association is to establish cooperation among parents, teachers and students. There has been overwhelming cooperation between the sdtool faculty and the parents of this association during the ] ast two years, and real things have been accomplished for the l cnefit of Ik»th the students and the parents. It has brought parents in touch with the teach- ers, thus solving problems, that cannot l e done otherwise. Several educators have addressed the com- munity on different evenings, among them be- ing. Mr. James M. Spinning. Professor Har- vey Zorbaugh, Mr. Cameron Beck, Mr. Allen B. Gates. Professor Conrad II. Mochlman. and Doctor Meyer Jacobstcin. t )ur Community Service Committee, under the able chairmanship of Dr. R. J. Bennett, have obtained great results in connection with tin Athletic Field. The development of the Athletic Field under the Civil Works program lias come alxmt much sooner than it otherwise could. The present grading is to be completed and seeded; a field house has been erected. It is hoped that the gully may be filled and graded although this involves several difficult problems. This is receiving the careful con sideration of the Commissioner of Public Works, Mr. Morrison. This field will prove an invaluable asset to the community, increasingly year by year. The entire equipment will make a fine center for communit) play, from small children to adults.

A pupil with a sense of humor will find our nurse’s office a veritable treasure-house of humorous incidents. Miss Kehrig is often caught chuckling over some excuses and answers given her by ailing pupils. 'flic nurse, after administering a close of soda for a headache, asked her patient whether lie could stand it to go back to his class. Oh yes.” answered the pupil quickly. I'll rest there. What class is it? the nurse said rather surprised. Economics. I always sleep there. Recently Kit Carson was seen in the wait- ing room and when the nurse asked him what was the trouble with him he replied. I think I have a temperature. The nurse is going to request a rest room for overworked pupils. Probably some ham- mocks or steamer chairs would be enjoyed by those afflicted with headaches, toothaches, colds, no-slecpitis. and the other serious dis- turbances which keep pupils from their classes. --------............ Radio Club The Radio Cluli of Charlotte placed u| on exhibit at the Hobby Show some of its mem- bers’ handiwork shown in the picture, (p. 14). Bruce Wyman, a government licensed mem- ber. operated amateur radio station W8MNW at the exhibit, contacting stations VE3ADS in Toronto. Canada, and W8FL’G in the city. In the picture are Bruce Wyman. Ray Spaf- ford. and Ken Henderson to whom the trans- mitter. two shortwave receivers and the other equipment belong. The reason for the exhibit, other than repre- senting the club’s activities, was to show the public what an amateur operator does and how he does it. n amateur is a person, licensed by the government, who lias a hobby interest in radio. He may talk or use the medium of dots and dashes for communication. Some amateurs talk with others all over the world. Join the Radio Club and enjoy radio! si x
