Realizing the importance of communication and following a basic pattern, expert program scheduling has brought about a warmer, cldser relationship between parents, faculty and students of the school. The theme for the year was 'It Pays to Advertise—PTA,” thus time-tested advertising slogans were applied to advantage by those invited to “Join the Right Circle,” during the Membership Drive which successfully increased over the past year. Provocative, stimulating speakers aroused activity of association members. At a capacity meeting PTA was informed that theirs was a power greater than they realized and that their combined efforts could accom- plish important things, with stirred listeners taking pride in the slogan, PTA—A Thinking Man s Organiza- tion.” “Progress is our Most Important Product” was shown by a delightful skit written by a PTA member and with participation of drama students. Another meeting assured parents that “Love is Said in Many Ways.” Closing the final program in May, “You Can Be Sure if it’s PTA, effectively proved that it surely “pays to advertise.” Principal, Samuel Oelrich's friendly, down-to-earth talks on school affairs was a vital portion of regularly scheduled PTA meetings. His understanding recognition of the needs of students and assurance of the school staff’s fullest cooperation and help in all PTA activities and plans was appreciated to the utmost. The Executive Board hosted a coffee-coke break for the first meeting of the teachers when school began. The President, Mrs. Leslie Lorden, began the year with a “get-acquainted” breakfast for all the board members. Honorary Life Membership was awarded for outstanding service to youth. The Founders Day meeting entertained but reminded us of the goals we strive for. An excellent adjunct of communication was the establishment of an efficient working Room Representative Committee, as well as the mailing of newsettes. A well-planned series of Parent-Education classes was presented and provided an invaluable exchange of ideas and information. Safety in school and at home was stressed. Student Welfare was cognizant of needs outside our school and we did our share for others. 13 All in all, Fairfax High School PTA, under the capable, logical leadership of Mrs. Leslie Lorden, en- joyed a productive year of memorable accomplishment.
