5 H A % I frj » THE 1923 REFLECTOR WrM PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION Early in the fall of 1919 an interesting notice—one announcing a High School Parent-Teacher meeting—appeared in the Greensboro Daily News. There was also a comment to the effect that this organization was the newest member of that City Federation. The fact that it was the newest organization was not the significant thing, but the motive and purpose behind the organization was sig¬ nificant. The realization on the part of the Parents and Teachers that in the High School there is need for cooperation in order that the High School may be im¬ proved and that the best things possible be given to the High School boys and girls formed the basis for organization. Thus the organization began. Com¬ mittees of various kinds were appointed, as health, playground, school improve¬ ment, and entertainment. For fo ur years the Parent-Teacher Association has grown and proved itself indispensable to parents and teachers. Indispensable to parents because it gives the parents an opportunity to know the teachers, to know the school better, and to feel that the parents have a great part in he education of the High School Children. The school may fall short in some things, then a group of three hun¬ dred parents may call attention to such error more effectively than one person presenting it. In numbers there is strength. To the teachers this organization is indispensable! They can bravely under¬ take any task, however arduous, when they know that just back of them is a strong wall of interested parents. The monthly meeting, with the timely pro¬ grams give teachers a chance to get the parents’ viewpoint of various problems pertaining to the welfare of the school. If it were not for the High School Parent-Teacher Associatio n there would come to Greensboro many a teacher homesick. But each teacher is made to feel welcome here by members of this organization, And after they come— well the entertainment committee treats us royally and soon each teacher is com¬ fortably located. Throughout the year this committee plans for the teachers wonderful receptions. This organization is worth while—may its life be long! Page Ten
