SECOND ANNUAL BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT SPONSORED BY PTA AS FIRST ACTIVITY OF YEAR Back to School Night, presentation of an Honorary Life Membership Award, a speech by Mr. Wesley Colgan, and a panel discussion on teen-agers were some ofthe M H S Parent-Teachers Association's activities designed to promote better understanding of teen-agers in home, school, and social life. The P T A began the year's activities with sponsorship of the second annual Back to School Night in October. Parents followed the class schedules of their sons and daughters, met teachers, and learned about the courses of study offered at MHS. A refreshment period followed in the cafeteria. On November 17 the PTA held a rummage sale that was very successful,' according to Mrs. Scott O'Leary, PTA President. Two other fall proiects were the establishment of a clothes closet and a welfare fund. Mr. John Marchetti, boysx physical education assistant, became the recipient of Montgomery's first PTA Honorary Life Membership Award, which was presented to him at the February meeting. Mr. Marchetti was selected for the award for exceptional school spirit, interest and concern for the boys ofthe school, above and beyond the call of duty, said Mr. Don Ellis, Director of Boys Physical Education. Mr. Wesley Colgan, safety education and driver training instructor at MHS, spoke to the PTA on The Youthful Driver on March 22. ln his speech Mr. Colgan stressed these four points: The poor example adult drivers sometimes set for teen-agers, limited driver education opportunities in many sections of the country, occasional lack of interest in parental guidance and supervision, and frequent failure to hold the young driver accountable for his actions. Mr. Colgan also discussed the problem of insuring the youthful driver. ln April the PTA program was an adult panel discussion on how to best help teen-agers. Judge Lincoln Mahan served as moderator.
