The Central Parent-Tencher association, organized in April, 1914. is not a student extracurricular organization. When we think of the services rendered to the school, little do ■we realize what work they efficiently and quietly do. Mrs. Harry Bennett was elected the first president, and she was capably assisted by Mrs. Gwen Pence, first vice president: Reverend S. M. Davidian. second vice president: Mrs. Earl Bowman, recording: Miss Ruth Chiles, cor- responding secretary: and Carl H. Jones, treasurer. Why do parents and teachers meet in Central high school. These meet- ings arc being planned to promote in the citizen of tomorrow and welfare of our young people through closer relation and mutual cooperation between par- ents and teachers. Through the efforts of the Parent-Teachers association, a new curtain was purchased and a hospital room was furnished. By means of a radio review and Vodville Style show sufficient funds were raised. Another activity un- der the supervision of the association is the annual art exhibit and Pie festival in May. This year the association sponsored Cameron Beck, former personnel direc- tor on the New York Stock exchange. He addressed the students and parents of Central on Leadership and said. What you are to be you are now be- coming . For 1940 the following officers were elected: Judge Raymond Smith, president: Mrs. Frank McClain, first vice president: Mrs. Walter Noble, second ice president: Mrs. Edward Myers, recording secretary: Miss Idetta Lutz, cor- responding secretary: Mr. Stanton Steiner. treasurer. The desire of the Parent-Teachers ' association is to solve the problems that relate to the welfare of the child in home, school, and community. Marcella Roberts ' 40 fifteen

Meeting is now adjourned. The Lima Council of Parents and Teachers, a conference bociy composed of the local congress units within the city, was organized by the state branch with the sanction of the National congress, on January 1 1, 1928. This organ- ization is really a clearing house for the other units and increases their capacity for service through united strength. Mothers ' study groups, schools of instruction, and Mother-singers were all formed as extra activities throughout the years. Other activities under the auspices of the council are the Motion Picture council, Clare Tree Major plays, Morris memorial, and bundle day. Mrs. Raymond P. Smith, president of the council, was ably assisted this year by the following officers: Mrs. Alfred Simmons, first vice president: Mrs. Fred Stover, second vice president: Mrs. Everett Aller. secretary: and Mrs. John P. McJilton. treasurer. J. McLean Reed, superintendent of schools, is the hon- orary president. This year they have selected as their theme Finding the Goal Posts. The parent-teacher organization has a three-fold purpose: to know the child through child study and parent education: to cooperate with the schools and other educational agencies in his training through shared participation with teachers and educators: and to control and build his environment through the development of public opinion and civic activity. To these people who are forever working toward a higher standard for us, the students, we dedicate this page. June Schulte ' 40 s .v efn
