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

They Claimed The Laurels Dear Seniors, Do you remember one unforgettable day in September, four years ago, when this class first entered the portals of Central high school? We stood wide-eyed and open-mouthed, awed by the dignity of the seniors, the boldness of the juniors, and the feigned nonchalance of the sophomores. In ignorance we followed the upper classmen up the front steps, but woe unto us. this was the moment the sophomores were waiting for. Quickly and very rudely wc were escorted to the side door. We chose as our leaders for the freshman year Eugene Snyder, president: Dorothy Ben- nett, vice president: Marjorie Ripley, secretary: Mary Ellen Bid well, treasurer. Representatives to the Student council were Gerald Clark and Harrison Hughes. Colors for the year were scarlet and white. We appreciated the kind- ness rendered by Miss Ruth Reed, class super- visor. After a somewhat hectic but successful year as freshman, we entered early in September as sophomores. Quickly dispensing with the formalties, we selected our class officers. Bob Brentlinger. president: Donna Gene Miller, vice president; Mary Ellen Bidwell. secretary; and Harrison Hughes, treasurer. Four members, Roy Blodgett, Charles Stilgenbauer, Marjorie Ripley and Bob Richards, were chosen as representatives of the sophomores to the Student council. To a most capable supervisor. Miss Gayle Howey, we express our thanks and gratitude for her ever helpful advice and kindness. With two years of achievement behind us, we returned to dear old Central as upperdassmen and once more chose Bob Brentlinger, president: Shirley Mere- ness, vice president: Mary Ellen Bidwell, secretary: and Harrison Hughes, treas- urer. As our Student council representatives we elected Gerald Clark, Bob Richards. Thelma Von Almen, Charles Stilgenbauer. Roy Blodgett, and Mar- jorie Ripley, who helped to plan our school activities. Considerable talent was displayed in our junior play, Apron String Re- volt. Members of the cast were Zell Sandifer. Nadine Corson, Ann Blattenberg. Marjorie Ripley. Howard Bayles, Shirl ey Mereness, Jerry McWilliams, Jerry Clark. Marjorie Botkin, Paul Downs, Quentin Maxfield, Joe Sells, Betty Dav- ies, and Orrie Barr: Dorothy Becher acted as publicity manager: Mary Mu- SENIOll CLASS OFFICERS Row 1 — Dick Cheney.
