P. T. A. This year the Easthampton High School P.T.A. continued in its accustomed pattern of service to the school. During Education week in November, a food sale was arranged in the study hall for our traditional Parents' Night. In December the association once again sponsored a gay and festive Yuletide dance for the com- munity teenagers. When Dr. Paul Mather, President of the University of Massachusetts, ac- cepted the invitation of the group to speak on March 20, an outstandingly interesting and informative evening was provided for all who attended. All of the grammar school P.T.A.'s were invited, forming a large and appreciative audience. Dr. Mather stressed, in his speech, the importance of all phases of education from grade school through college. In our competitive modern world, he stated, a college diploma is as essential to the economic and personal welfare of an individual, as was a high school diploma, just a single generation ago. Following this event, two enjoyable public card parties were given. As has been its custom in past years, the organization purchased tapes for the school recorder. It also awarded the two science prizes, for outstanding achievement in physics and chemistry respectively. Also given at graduation was the P.T.A. Group Council Scholarship to which each of the individual local P.T.A. contributes, in order that a senior entering the teaching profession may be aided and encouraged in career preparation.
