P-T.A. improves Home- cliool Relations To foster a closer understanding between par' ents and the schools, the Lincoln ParentfTeacher Association set as their theme for this year, It's Hi Time to Understand Your High School. Carrying out this theme, they presented at each meeting an exhibition by one of the school def partments. In six meetings during the year the functions of the English, business education, industrial arts, social science, guidance, and home eco' nomics departments were explained by the inf Stt'LlCt0rS from those departments. Actual class' room procedure was revealed to the parents when they were given the opportunity to tour the departments on display. 393 new members, of which 143, or almost half, were men, were the result of the fall mem' bership campaign. Usually most members are mothers. Parents had a chance to meet the teachers of their sons and daughters at the Lincoln Backftof School Night November 15. They visited their children's classrooms and were able to chat with the teachers. Admission of the whole family to the Lincoln' Olympia football game for a dollar and a memf bership dance marked the PfTA family night festivities. The annual PfTA assembly featured slides and a lecture by Sheldon Brooks, jr. The mountain' climbing former Lincolnite showed photographs taken of his recent ascent of University Peak in Alaska. The purpose of the assembly was to raise money from the rummage collected at the assembly. The profits will be used to cover PfTA expenses next year. Capably serving as PfTA officers were Mrs. J. A. Scott, president, Mrs. Lee Wills, first vice' presidentg Mrs. Athyleen Nicholson, second vicefpresidentg Miss Alice Grimes, third vice' president, Mrs. A. C. Diment, secretary, and Mrs. Harry Hoffman, treasurer. 14 P.T.A.-Mrs. Lee Wills, first vice president: Mrs. James Scott, president: Mrs. Athyleen Nicholson, second vice president: and Mrs. H. C.

To carry out this theme, student participation was keynoted. Many new committees were formed to perform tasks previous' ly done by members of the student council. Senate representatives, elected by their individual homerooms, met each Tuesday during sixth period to discuss proposed legislation. Among the measures instituted in this year's senate was a school ac' tivities calendar, which will be placed in the hall to inform Lincolnites of coming school events. A senate organization comf mittee studied ways by which Senate Officers-Susan Gadbow. first semester secretary: Marilce Andersen, president: Elaine mester secretary. senate could be improved, and came up with many suggestions that will help to make that body more representative of the students' wishes. The success of Lincoln's float in the daffodil pa' rade was due to the efforts of a senate committee formed for that purpose. Lincoln's senatefsponsored Xfray drive won out over Sta' dium, with 19 Abe homerooms attaining 100 per cent in the contest. Presiding over senate meet' ings was Marilee Anderson. First semester secretary was Susan Gadbaw and second semester secretarial work was done by Elaine Marinig. Marinig, second se- l 3
