SCENES Marple-Newtown’s Booster Club has supported our sports activites for many years. They are the hard-working people who sponsor the All-Sports banquet in the spring of each year and who purchase blazers and sweaters for the athletes who qualify for them. To raise money this year they sold booster buttons and sponsored the first dance of the year, the fourth annual Tiger Trot, which was held in September in the high school gymnasium. The M-N Booster Club is an organization which promotes school spirit at our interscholastic games. Let’s get behind them and BOOST M-N’S BOOSTERS! Front Row: Mrs. Duncan, Mrs. Knorr, Mrs. Jewett, Mrs. Walton. Back Row: Mr. Engle, Mr. Rathev Mr. Duncan, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Heym. 7

BEHIND THE Left to Right: S. Hetzel, H, Alwine, M. Rossi, R. Reinhart. P. T. A. The purpose of the Parent-Teachers Association is to bring our parents into the teacher -pupil relationship. The P.T.A. worked unceasingly this year to bring the parents and school into this ever closer bond. By sponsoring an Open House in which parents followed their childrens’ schedule the par- ents and teachers were brought together for their mutual benefit. An Exchange Sale and various other projects supplied moneyfor the annual P.T.A. scho- larship, this grant of $500 being given each year to a deserving Senior. As with the trend of the country as a whole, this year Marple-Newtown has incorporated an advanced academic course into the curricular of our high school. This course offers accelerated subjects to able students. This curricular com- mittee now plans to investigate the present Com- mercial and General courses and propose needed changes. This is only one of the many facets of the P.T.A. activities and we know that the community and our parents are behind us in our various phases of activity at M.N. 6
