The 'Dads' Club HE Lansing Dads' Club of North Dallas High School during the year 1917-,QS has had one of the most successful seasons since its organization, under the inspira- tion of Major Lansing, R. O. T. C. Commandant. Oflicered by lVlajor VV. T. Powell as president, Howard Payne, vice-president, and Charles H. Newell, secretary-treasurer, the club got away to a good start at its first meeting in October. Cordial co-operation by former presidents, E. Gordon Perry and Homer Fisher, and former secretary-treasurer, L. blames VVathen, con- tributed materially to the series of winter meetings. ln addition to interesting regular meetings, the banquet, given for the Crack Company in December at the Baker Hotel, and the special meeting at which the wives of members of the Dads, Club were present were especially noteworthy. Colonel Alvin Owsley, former head of the American Legion, upon invitation of the Dads, Club, became sponsor for the North Dallas Battalion and contributed his usual fine inspiration to the organization. Because of the fine attendance throughout the year a substantial sum was accumulated for use in helping to increase the atten- dance at Camp Dallas. The Dads' Club is particularly obligated to Congressman Hatton VV. Sumners, Colonel Ronayne, YV. T. Henderson, Earl Cullum, Allen Merriam, VVill Martin, and District Attorney Yvilliam lVlcCraw for the splendid speeches they made at various meetings. It is also obligated to Principal Comstock and Major Lansing for their always cordial co-operation. Mrs. A. L. Harper will always hold a large place in the hearts of the Dads, Club for the many delicious suppers she served during the year. The same goes for the charming members of the Girls' Council, who so graciously waited table at all Dads' Club Sllpp6I'S. Emi ' ri Se .. 1 -A., .Ibm

HE MOTHERS' CLUB of North Dallas High has had, during the year 1927- '28, over zoo members and one of the busiest and most successful seasons in its history. Among the things which the Mothers' Club has done at North Dallas are the donating of football sweaters for our team. the sending of the quartette to Houston, and the beauti- fication of the school grounds. They also furnished the medicines and linens needed by the school for emergencies. The club has also enabled several girls to keep up their school work by furnishing them with their lunches each week. The January class was entertained with a theater party, and the club gave a George Wash- ington dinner for the parents and teachers. There were two KRLD programs given, which were very successful. Every month the club brings a noted lecturer who talks to the parents on adolescence and its problems. Plans have been laid. for a tea honoring Elizabeth Gerard. Bark race, It-fr ta riglzl: Mrs. C.
