A good foundation in English is essential to higher education, to success in the business world, and to the fulfillment of a happy and useful life. A community is truly wealthy if its members have a command of the usage and meaning of our language. High school students are given the opportunity to contribute to and become a part of the community by participating in the yearly Chamber of Commerc.e essay contest. Through this contest, the community's needs and standards must be kept in mind, thus training adolescents to become useful and valuable adults. The publications' department plays an effective role in preparing teenfagers for com' munity living. Not only through learning to write of their school and its activities but also in their business contacts with adults outside the school, journalism students learn the meaning of public relations. The Northerner and The Legend present to the community lasting symbols of pupils' sense of responsibility, initiative, ability, and hard work. In dramatics, students spend extra time in learning to project themselves and to IUDITH BOWEN GRACE BRIDGES GENEVA BURWELL RUTH CARROLL A.B., DePauw U. B.S., Ball State A.B., Indiana U.

Dean, Parents Unif Guidance Pleasant, kind, cofoperative, and under' standing are only a few of the adjectives we can ascribe to our dean, Iwfiss Victoria Gross. Her outstanding personality and amiable disposition make it easy for stu' dents to come to her for the answers to all problems. She is always willing and ready to give wise counsel to those who need it, and is recognized for having the studentls interest at heart at all times. Her long record of experience in guide ance and supervision has made her an inf valuable asset to North Side in directing all clubs and class activities, in planning guidance programs, and in serving as ad' viser to the Student Council. The P.fT.A.'s aim for amicable relations between teacher and parent is accomplished by the hard work and efforts of its officers and committee members. Shown below, left to right, are Mrs. Frank Murphy, presidentg Mrs. Edwin Barker, secretaryg Mrs. Fred Stellhorn, first vicefpresidentg and Mrs. Leroy Jacoby, treasurer. Dayton Musselman, not shown, was second vicefpresident for the 194960 school year. DEAN VICTORIA GROSS The ParentfTeachers' Association, formed primarily to foster understanding between teachers and parents, has now grown to be an organization giving great impetus to a movement of improving the social and educational welfare of the stu' dent body. By developing a closer relaf tionship and a feeling of unity between teacher, student, and parent, this body has helped to keep the fire in our school spirit. A Study Group made up of P.fT.A. members has had many interesting discus' sion meetings with Freedom to Grow as this year's theme. The P.fT.A, also gave its attention to sponsoring fsocial function, glSheSl3dbbyS Sox Hop, which was fun for afterfgame entertainment. 9
