PROMOTING STUDENT ACTIVITIES, MARK Striving to create a closer re- lationship between parents and the school, the Fathers' Associa- tion of Essex Catholic sponsors many activities during the year. Among these are the annual Communion Breakfasts, the as- sistance of fathers at sports functions, and the Spring Band and Glee Club Concert. In ad- dition to these outstanding ac- tivities, the Association promotes greater parent-teacher contact through its monthly meetings. The Fathers' Association coop- erates closely with the Mothers' Club in fund raising affairs and social highlights. The Commun- ion Breakfast is the keynote of the early season-attendance this year was high, with many fathers and sons taking their places at this Communion rail. Football brings its own ioy to the fathers as they announce, sell tickets and programs, and collect tickets at the gates. The Spring Concert is the pride and ioy of the Association. Many hours are spent in providing an enioyable evening for all.
