April was not in Paris or Portugal for the some l5O ETHS travelers, but in Wash- ington, New Orleans, and the Lincoln Country, as students tasted the lux- ury ot the fine hotels, steamer state- rooms, tours and dinners. Many new friends were made during the weelc's sojourn, sponsored by the school, not to mention the topics for conversation, which brought out the point that sightseeing was not only fun but also educational. For selected seniors in speech courses, New York offered a week of enchantment with Broadway hits, tele- vision shows and a guided tour ot the Empire State Building. Eighteen stu- dents with an average at tive hours' sleep a night returned to classes with tales of the Queen Mary and the Great White Way.

-,N life vvith laiher l know what you're thinking . . . you can't get away! With this re- mark Mrs. Dorothy Waldo Phillips began her analysis of teen-agers be- fore a general assembly. Her speech was part of a PTA-spon- sored program to acquaint pupils with as many widely-known persons as possible, an idea typical of the PTA's policy of school advance- ment. Similar work was done by the Lay Advisory Council, designed to get the parents' point of view on administration problems. More on the informal side, the Dads' Club, consisting of many fa- thers of ETHS students, sponsored films of athletic events and a Foot- ball Banquet. Upper: Business over the tea table.

With the First Methodist Church as head- quarters, the Youth Conference Board, headed by Jean Bickford, planned a non-sectarian worship service, a dinner, entertainment and election of officers. The day before the conference was an all- school assembly, featuring as keynote speaker Dr. Alexander, minister of the First Christ Church of Oklahoma City, Father Putnam of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Evanston gave the invocation.
