THE PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION Not all high schools are as fortunate as Farragut in having a Parent-Teachers' Asso- ciation that is sincerely interested in the welfare of the school. During the past year the Association has had various activities to raise money for band uniformsg namely, the Christmas Bazaar and Bake Sale, its annual play, Money Talks, and its Fathers' Night Program at which Judge Bicek of the Juvenile Court was the guest speaker. On March 29, the Chicago High School Spring Conference of Districts 23 and 24 was held at Farragut and over three hundred mothers and fathers attended. The P. T. A. meets the third Thursday of every month inviting the faculty to tea after school, thus providing an opportunity for the parents and teachers to become better acquainted. Quoting J. P. Munro, the P. T. A. has this purpose: It is our business to see to it, therefore, that the atmosphere and the education or educative influences of this vast present-day city of civilization are the very best, the very most efficient, the very most uplifting to boys and girls that it is possible for them to be.

This influential bodyconsists of one representative, usually an honor student, from each division room. The most important business completed by the council this semester was the assem- bling of the Traffic Code and the Assembly Hall Code. It also assisted in the publication of the Farragut Log by promoting sales. In union there is strength is tfie old proverb depicted on the Council pins by means of an old Roman design.

J ohn Jezek CONCERT BAND When Farragut's Concert Band was organized two years ago, it was a comparatively small band having an enrollment of only thirty-five. Since then the membership has jumped to sixty-six. Next year Mr. Joseph Grill hopes to hit near the ninety mark. During the twd years that the Band participated in the City High School Band Contest it won first place in the Group II division. Later it had the honor of competing with large ninety-piece bands. The Band plays in all community affairs, at concerts every year, and at assemblies, parades and football games. BOYS' GLEE CLUB While the Boys' Glee Club is in session, enchanting melodies rise to a Crescendo and then softly die away in liquid tones. Early in September, 1934, when the club was established, the talent that gathered was very promising and with a little practice the boys were able to stand up against the keenest competition. On January 16, 1935, the boys participated in the City High School Contest at Orchestra Hall Where they were rated very highly. At a later date they sang in concert with the Boys' Chorus at Harrison. The officers of the club are: President ..,.,,... ..... C harles Behounek Vice President ..,.. .,.... R obert Hajek Secretary .....,. ,,.. J erry Chrastek Treasurer . . . .......,,......,...... ..... J ohn Sikora GIRLS' LEADER CLUB The Girls' Leader Club is composed of students who volunteer their services to help the Girls' Physical Education teachers during class periods. A Leader is distinguished by the orange uniform she wears, her excellency in Physical Education and her ability to handle a large group of girls on the gym floor. Besides doing her regular work, such as taking attendance and marking proficiency tests, a Leader also referees girls' basketball and volleyball games. SCROLL STAFF News, feature stories, and clicking typewriters form a suitable background for the industrious cub reporters who comprise the Farragut Scroll Staff. When it was decided to have a school paper early in February, 1934, this group quickly offered its services. Although no major credit is given in Journalism until the third semester, these students joined the Journalism classes for the fun of writing. J About seventy per cent of the pupils on the Scroll Staff are leaving because of grad- uation. - 20
