A little over three and a half years ago, the Monmouth P. T. A. was born. The organization meeting was held in the school assembly room with just a handful of persons present, but the enthusiasm and willingness to start such a group ran high. As a result, under the supervision of several members from an Allen County chapter, our P. T. A. received its state charter. It has been said that one must crawl before one can walk , and this was certainly true during the first year of our P. T. A. Our president, Mrs. Leo Kirsch, attended several work shop schools to learn some of the duties and fundamentals of an infant organization. Mrs. Kirsch also attended the state P. T. A. convention held just two months after the first organization meeting. To have our active, running organization, some means of finance must be worked out. As a result, we have planned such programs as a donkey basketball game, an ice cream social, the annual Fall Festival, and the February pot-luck supper designed to honor those students who merit praise scholastically, and in the field of athletics. All these events have been well attended and have served in an excellent way to bring about friendliness and hospitality in our community. In addition, we have been able with our funds to purchase two coffee urns for the school, playground equipment, and with the school, visual aid equipment in the form of movie projectors. Many fine programs have also been brought to our school through the efforts of the P. T. A. These programs have served to knit a closer bond between the parent, teacher, and child, and this bond is the basic principle of the P. T. A.

ANe Our band made its first public appearance this year on the Farmers' Institute program. The musical numbers were well received and many favorable comments were heard. The band has made remarkable progress under the patient tutelage of Mr. Hickman. With the splendid co- operation of the parents and the determination of the students, Monmouth High will have a band of which we will all be proud.
