The welfare of both the school and the com¬ munity is the concern of the PTA. Leading the PTA this year are: President, Mrs. Ross Archer: Vice President, Mrs. William Kincy; Secretary, Miss Alice Lauterbur: and Treasurer, Mr. Howard Harris. A varied program was planned for the PTA this year, which included a film, “God and the Atom”, and speakers on foreign affairs, recreation, and music. Students provided the music and read the invocations at the meetings. On March 14, the seniors presented their annual program. In order to raise funds, the PTA sponsored the Holly Hop. The teenagers and adults danced in the “Empire Room”, while the grade school stu¬ dents and the junior high had fun with games in the “Casino”. Everyone enjoyed the good food that was served in the “Pump Room”. The Holly Hop, one of the few real social events for the whole family, was so successful that it will be made an annual event.

The “Romance of the Century” rocked the people of Hollywood when film star Monroe and baseball’s DiMag- gio fanned out at home. Former Premier Mendes France urged French citizens to drink milk instead of wine. Five U. S. Congressmen were wounded in a tumultuous outbreak when a group of Puerto Ricans invaded the House of Representatives. HOLLY HOP BECOMES ANNUAL El ENT This is the third year that the PTA has provided first-rate entertainment for the floorshow at the prom. These acts have appeared on television and at nightclubs. On the first Monday of each month the Parent Education Group met to discuss teenage problems. A film on adolescence was followed by informal discussions. For the first time the PTA offered a scholarship of $150 to a gradua tin g senior or an alumni of our school who is going to major in education. The win¬ ner must be planning to attend an Indiana school. Mr. Ervin leans against the old- fashioned pump as he talks with Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Briggs at the Holly Hop.
