P-TA Assists Many Student Activities Pulling Together Always. An appropriate motto for the Lincoln Parent-Teacher Association which strives at all times to promote better relations between the school and the home. Under the leadership of Mrs. W. F. Gorrell, this organization continued its sponsorship of the ski classes for Lincoln students at the Milwaukee Ski Bowl. Other activities of the year included a food sale and style show with all profits being contributed to the Lincoln scholarship fund, the P-TA scholarship fund, and the new organ fund. A card party and two successful rum- mage sales were held also, With the money being used to send relief packages to overseas schools. Founders Day was observed when six past Lincoln P-TA presidents were welcomed back by the present members. The former presidents related some of their experiences, especially their money raising efforts, while they were in office. Gifts were presented to them in appreciation of their Work by members of the organization. Panel discussions and guest speakers at its regular monthly meetings helped promote better understanding of the problems of the high school and the high school student. The art room was also visited in order that the P-TA members, by watching the students at work, might learn how the art department of the school functions. Last year Mrs. Gorrell attended the annual P-TA convention in Yakima. One of the main objectives at this convention was to work out better legislation for the benefit of children. To aid them in this project the dele- gates attended classes where guest speakers explained some of the problems of the school. This year the convention is scheduled to be held in Tacoma, and as is the custom, the in- coming president will be the official delegate. Other officers assisting Mrs. Gorrell in this year's work of the organization were Mrs. E. L. Smith, vice-presidentg Mrs. Ruth Wilson, second vice-president, Mrs. Donald Ahrens, secretary, and Mrs. lohn Edie, treasurer. 'IQ' X 159' Above-Row I-Mrs. lohn Edie, Treasurer, Mrs. W. F.

Court Strives For Students should be able to govern them- selves, and carry on an effective law enforcing group, composed of students and not the members of the faculty. When the student government idea was brought up in the fall of l947, this was given as the main argument for a student governing body. Two years of existence is now behind the student court, and this has been carried through in an attempt to get a smooth running and fair system of self-government for Lincoln. Under the leadership of Don Chandler, judge, lim Traynor, assistant judge, Delores Duncan, clerk-bailiff, and Arthur Turner, fac- ulty adviser, the court came through this crucial period, which many thought would prove Whether or not the court would be a lasting institution. The court has run up against many diffi- culties and obstacles since its start in No- vember of l948, but most of these have been overcome by trial and error. While the court itself functioned very Well and did its duty, all of this time its main trouble was that of getting Warrants served. Good Government The council then took up the problem of find- ing a Way to get an effective system of serving them, and if they couldn't find a Way the court would be abolished. After many suggestions had been aimed, Inter-Club Council decided to take up the task and Work on a new plan for a Warrant serving organization. Much discussion was held on this subject and a plan Was adopted which Was thought to be the answer to the question. The new plan, When carried out, will consist of mem- bers of the student body at large, Who turn in their names and are approved by the council. This group Will have about sixty members, and Will Work on the patrol system. Each student will have his own beat and every beat Will have several alternates so that a student Will not be on duty all the time. Only time Will tell how effective this plan will Work, but it is a step forward in the direction of a better and more democratic court.
