PARENT-TEACI-IER ASSOCIATION MR. EDWIN C. MESERVEY PI'C'.w'1'd61ll of the Board of Ell1llC6ll'l.0ll No small part of the financial stability of the Kansas City School system is due to the sane counseling of the man who is president of the Board. While other cities have closed schools, reduced their services, failed to pay their teachers and defaulted on their bonds, Kansas City has maintained her standards of education and met her obligations in a way that reflects the sound judgment of her Board of Education, president and members. The Paseo High P.-T. A. is completing a successful year of work. Why can we say successful? Because we have definite proof that there is a closer relationship between the school and the home-that parents have a better understanding not only of the curriculum of the school, but of the problems of the student-that teachers have been devoted in their co- operation to help us attain these ends and that although we have attained certain things, We have ambitions to reach a greater number of parents in a more efficient manner in the future. The programs each month have been well attended, averaging about one hun- dred, and have consisted of an interpreta- tion of the school to the patrons, followed by a parent education class led by Miss Iulia Mae Ward of Teachers College. The sustained attendance and the intel- ligent discussions are proof of the interest in the program. Every patron of Paseo is invited to become a part of this organiza- tion for the Welfare of the children of the community. Outstanding Work was done by all de- partments, regardless of the udepression atmosphere, which to the Workers was an urge to forge ahead. 3. first rnw, left to right: Mrs. X.

GEORGE MELCHER Superifztendefzt of Schools During almost the whole time since Mr. Melcher became head of the Kansas City Schools, educational leaders throughout the country have been confronted with unparalleled difficulties in school finances and administration. The students of Paseo High School take this means of expressing appreciation to their superintendent for his devotion to the cause of edu- cation and for his wise direction of the affairs of the school system through a period of stress. The Student Council, organized to pro- mote a closer relationship between stu- dents and school activities, continued with the work with which that organization has been associated in the preceding years. As in previous years lthe election of the cheerleaders, Press s scriptions, the sale of the football an basketball season tickets, and the lunioi' Red Cross contribu- tions were conducted by the first semester Student Council. ii The property conidmittee was under the leadership of Edward Clarke, and the school history committee was headed by Kenneth Fox.
