MRS. C, R. SEATON, President P.-T, A. In the closing of another year in the history of Tech P.-T. A. we pause to review the year's work. It has been a year with the closest tie of friendship well founded in our work together. We achieved our membership goal without too much effort, and have had good attendance all year. Our pro- grams have been interesting. A number of the students have participated in the various phases of the program theme, All Children Are Our Children. Guiding the Citizens of Tomorrow, the theme used by the Parent-Education Group discussions, have been instructive and thc- fellowship enjoyable. Friendship Day, held in connection with Founder's Day, was the first of its kind in Memphis and was a success. We were assisted by the Woodworking, Art. Speech and Home Economics Departments. All requirements necessary to receive a superior rating, as set by the National and State Congress of Parents and Teachers, have been met. The carnival sponsored by the Music Department and the P.-T. A. was a great success from both the enter- tainment and financial standpoint. The Association has assisted in the Community Fund Campaign, Infantile Paralysis Tag Day and the Fifth and Sixth War Bond drives. Two memorial books have been placed in the library, one in memory of our' beloved faculty member, Miss Anna McNicholasg the other in memory of Mrs. Cooley, mother of C. T. Cooley, a faculty member. We were very proud of our football team, who brought the city championship back to Tech this y-ear, and in behalf of the Association, it was my high privilege and joy to present to each of nine champions who are gradu- ating a gold football at their annual banquet at Hotel Peabody. Believing that All Children Are Our Children and wanting to leave something with the school that would benefit the greatest number of children as a dedication to this year's work, we have placed two calculating ma- chines in the Bookkeeping Department, placed S50 worth of books in the Library, and equipped the first aid room with new linens. We have also placed new chair cushions in offices of the principal and assistant principal. Our real project is the tea-club room which is the first in the Memphis schools. This room will be used by the various student activities for tc-as and special entertain- ments. It is to be used in connection with the Home Economics' Department and will be the Tech P.-T. A. meeting room. The room will have homelike- furnishings and will have special decorations done by Mr. Mike Abt and his Art Department. We would like to thank the teachers and students for their cooperation and want them to know that when they need assistance we stand ready to serve. We salute the 2500 boys and girls who bear the colors of our country. We humbly bow our heads in memory of those who have made the supreme sacrifice for us: and we resolve, That we will not let the standard of our country falter: that these boys shall not have died in vain, and the boys who will return shall not be dis- appointed in us while they were away.
