Parents Aid Children In Home And School Due consideration should be given to our elders, who, gathered together in the North Side Parent-Teacher Association, make school life their business. This group unites two distinct peoples, our guardians and our instructors. The organization. besides talcing a general interest in all school activities, lends financial aid for the realization of school projects and for the solution of school problems. This guild of guiders has completed its yearly program which consisted of varied interests. The first big assemblage was the annual Back- to-School Night held November 15 when parents reviewed the daily life of their offsprings and became acquainted with the school in general. A successful membership campaign was held the same evening. Early in December Mrs. Roscoe Shambaugh and Mrs. Clayton Braunagel took charge of the music division rummage sale. On December 15 Santa Claus dropped in on the P.-T. A. meeting. Other interests of the Christmas party were the Franklin Mothers' Chorus and pictures of the western trip taken by several teachers last summer and shown by Miss Marian Bash. Mrs. Doster Buckner led a symposium on January 12. Some of the topics of the meeting were: Are We Expecting Too Much of Cut BY LOUISE HESSERT Children in 1938?'l given by Mrs. Basil Needham: Do Our Children Keep Too Late An Hour?- Remediesf' Mrs. Walter G. Andrewsg What This Organization Means to Me As a Parent, Mrs. James Kirwin. A card party was held in the cafeteria on February 28 with Nlrs. Allan Wiseley serving as chairman. Mr. Howard Michaud acted as spokes- man for the annual Men's Night. which was held on March 23. One of the most interesting meetings of the season was that of April 20. Judge Harry Hilge- man spoke on Juvenile Protection. Two parties honored freshman mothers, and one held late in the spring was planned for senior mothers. This year brought a new group to the Parent- Teacher Association. that of the study group which met every first and third Wednesday of each month to enter into deeper discussions of school life. home life. and the duties of each to the development of the child. Mrs. Curt Stahn, 1937-38 president. proved to be an able leader. She had as her close assistants Mrs. Edward Schlegel. first vice-presidentg Mr. Howvard Michaud, second vice-presidentg Mrs. E.
