Home and School Cooperate We are fortunate that our Parent-Teacher Associa¬ tion was always so willing and anxious to help students in every possible way. No one could ever have shown more concern than the officers and com¬ mittee members who gave so much of their time and thought to helping improve home and school rela¬ tionships. The board of officers and committee chair¬ men held luncheon meetings every month to plan for ways to arouse greater interest in our school and to bring the parents into closer contact with the teachers of their children. They contributed funds for Social Standards Day, College Day, Whirligig, mid¬ winter and graduation dances; they awarded a bond to a senior chosen by his classmates for a special award. They also served by leading panel discussions on Social Standards Day and by chaperoning various dances. For these and many other kindnesses we, the students, say Thank you!

Lessons In Living Help Seniors Face The Future At last that longed-for day came when those students deserving the honor took their places in the center auditorium seats to start their last and best year at Senior. Each day left memories of fun and work, but perhaps some will be remembered longer than others. There were blue and white ribbons sold by the Senior Class before each football game that gave the whole school a feeling of team’’ spirit. All the Belvedere” fans turned out for Dreamboat,” sponsored by the Seniors to help raise money for their $300 contribu¬ tion to Whirligig. A successful Christmas card sale added to Senior Class funds. The Christmas Pageant, a Senior Class produc¬ tion, was presented in beautiful tableaux with music, of which the Waring Pennsylvanians might well be proud, by all vocal groups combined. The fondest memories of all are the annual trip to Washington where Seniors saw famous sights and rode the roller-coaster. Graduating Seniors will remember not only their last year, but each outstanding experi¬ ence of their life in high school. Senior officers are Alice While, Vice-President; Jimmy Armstrong, President; John Sauvajot, Treasurer; Miss Maunida Wales, Adviser; Frances Hosley, Secretary. 19
