THE STYL S gathers' Qjlub OW that the school year is in progress the Fathers' Club of the Warren Harding High has resumed its activities. The establish' ment of this club in 1925 by the fathers of the East Side for the purpose of cooperating with the school faculty to promote the educational interests and general welfare of the students of the school was a unique experiment in Bridge- port. The achievements of these men, however, in the past three years of the school's existence have proved even more unusual. Perhaps no other factor has conf tributed so largely to the success of the school as the moral and finanf cial aid given by this organization. As Warren Harding was a new school and consequently unknown, it became one of the first policies of this club to exhibit to the public one of the most modern high schools in New England. To do this a plan was devised to en' tertain the prominent civic clubs of the city that the public might see the school in action and follow its progress. As time passed a better understanding of the problems and needs of the school developed. Realizing the importance of good clean athf letics in creating school spirit, the first annual minstrel show was arranged, funds being raised thereby for uniforms and instruments for the band, which has played such an important part in the athletic victories of the school. Addition' al phases of school activity were later made financially possible when the basketball team participated in the Yale Tournament and when the Rifle Team was able to compete for state and national championship. Through the fathers' generosity also, Harding was able to I send a representative to the Boston Festival of music to win new laurels. But the Fathers' Club has done more than promote extrafcurricular activities. From the beginning it has been earnestly interested in the Warren Harding Library and scholarships. Very early in 1925 a scholarship committee was formed with the result that three worthy students were awarded gifts of S5 0.00, two of which were increased to 3100.00 by the gen- erosity of Mr. Marcus Hirsch of the Club. Last year the receipts of three successful en- terprises: namely, the Middlebury Glee Club Concert, the entertain' ment given by Captain O'I-Iay, and the second Harding Revue, formed the nucleus of a scholf arship fund. It is the present task of the Fathers' Club to inf crease this fund until it reaches the amount of 2B10,000, the interest of which is to be applied on scholarships. With this purpose in mind, a campaign has been or' ganized to reach all the citizens of Bridgeport who are interested in PRESIDENT THOMAS I. HUNGERFORD 52 contributing to this worthy enterprise. The committee has the support of the four hundred members of the club, but in order to make this undertaking a success, it needs the help of every one inter' ested in the high school. It asks that all who desire the higher education of the future citif zens of Bridgeport, join in this work endorsed by the Fathers' Club, and so vitally important to the progress of the Warren Harding High School. Our graduates, already in college, have proven themselves worthy of the Fathers' Club efforts on their behalf. Il
