Juniors study American authors and write vocational themes, while the sophomores read such novels as Silas Marner and A Tale of Two Cities. The four required years of English fulfill college requirements. “Experience is the best teacher” is the motto of ‘Hi Park’s journalism class. Using The Bagpipe as a work- shop, the cubs must have at least ten inches of print in the bi-weekly newspaper each semester. Interview- ing celebrities, covering football games, and touring a newspaper plant add spice to the course. Debating, interpretative reading, acting, and dis- cussion spotlight the five speech classes at Hi Park. Speech 4, a new course, features advanced acting and presents a major dramatic production in the spring. — ANDERSON, MAUD, M.A. English CROW, MARY E. (MRS.

Last-minute details of a P-TA meeting JOHN GRAHAM President are discussed by Mrs. Chambers and President Park Cities Dads’ Club Vice-Principal, P-TA, Dads’ Club School Calendar “Could our club reserve the small auditorium for a meeting next Tuesday at activities period?” is a typical example of the queries which Vice-Principal C. D. Bowlby must answer every day. Insuring Hi Park’s smooth operation, Mr. Bowlby takes care of the many details and problems which exist in a large high school. The discipline and participation of almost fourteen hundred Scots, along with arranging the school calen- dar and scheduling club and group meetings, are other parts of the over-all picture of Mr. Bowlby’s duties. There was a song in the air as the P-TA used a musical theme at their monthly meetings this year. Dr. John D. Moseley, President of Austin College, Mrs. Charles G. Cullum, newspaper columnist, and Mrs. Charles Meeker, wife of the vice-president of the State Fair Musicals, were among the speakers featured at the meetings. “And he’s over for the touchdown,” echoed through Hi Park’s halls as the Dads’ Club was treated to films of the Corpus Christi Miller game last November. A Christmas presentation by the Lads and Lassies was also on the year’s agenda. This service group includes dads of high school, junior high, and grade school students, and boasts a membership of 1,901.
