Pra HISTORY OF THE PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION The Leominster High School Parent- Teacher Association had its beginning three years ago when it was started to promote a closer friendship and understanding between the parents and teachers. The founders were Mrs. Rodney Underwood, president of the Leominster-Fitchburg Parent-Teacher Coun- cil; Mr. Dwight Davis, principal of the Senior High School; Mrs. Charles Williams, at that time, district director; and Mrs. Edwin Fiske, Masszchusetts State Executive Director. All sections of the city were represented in the list of officers and committees so that there would be full co-operation among all teachers, parents, and students. Mrs. Edward Baker was the first president of the Senior High School P.T.A. She was assisted by Mrs. Everett Derby, first vice- president; Mr. Dwight Davis, second vice- president; Mrs. A. J. Ouimet, secretary; and Mrs. Rinaldo Rocca, treasurer. The theme that first year was ‘Beginning Together.” During that year, through the efforts of many in the association, the membership expanded, and the association began to be recognized as a worthwhile organization. An organization to lead the way, High School's newest, the P. T. A. Mrs. Everett Derby, president for the next year, began her term of office with the following officers as her assistants: Mrs. I. M. Carluccio, first vice-president; Mrs. Alfred Wilson, secretary; and Mrs. Anthony Gas- barri, treasurer. During Mrs. Derby's term of office, the association was able to aid the Bob Wonkka Fund through the proceeds from the Henry Scott Concert, which went well over the top in its success. Now the association has concluded its third year. Mrs. I. M. Carluccio, president of the P.T.A. this year, had as her co-workers Mr. Louis Allen, first vice-president; Mr. Robert Laserte, second vice-president; Mrs. F. L. Bates, secretary; and Mrs. Frank Armillotti, treasurer. The theme of the P.T.A. this year was ‘Understanding Our School.” With the full co-operation of all the teachers, parents, and students, Mrs. Carluccio expected to gain a clearer under- standing of the school functions for all in- volved, and is also aiming for a better high school. She has aided in the promotion of a Junior Department to the High School P.T.A., which will bring the students into a closer understanding with the parents and teachers and will gain a higher interest in the school itself and the improvement of the school.

A student from each room is sent To run our friendly government. STUDENT CABINET... THE STUDENT CABINET The school is governed by a group of students who make up the Student Cabinet. One person is chosen from each home room to be a member of this group. The Student Cabinet, under the able supervision of John H. Coburn, has done a great deal to solve all problems that arise concerning school activities and students. The members of this group accomplished much as the year progressed. Among other things, they sponsored a show at the City Hall, featuring Emil Liers and his trained otters; they had a concession at Doyle Field during the Thanksgiving Game; they supervised our out-door lunch during the warmer season. On October 18, 1947, the officers of the Cabinet were elected: President: Clem Millette Vice-President: Joseph Bangrazi Treasurer: Edward Rockwell Secretary: Joseph Comiskey With these able officers and members, this student cabinet has completed a successful year. ll
