l l P.T Parents, Teachers, Daughters, all are com- bined in one association, which is doing more than its share in the sponsoring of school activi- ties. This group tends to bring the home and the parents closer to the school. The parents, students and teachers work together, bringing in all points of view. Each semester the P.T.D.A. has an outstand- ing event to increase the scholarship fund. This term they sponsored, along with the Alumnae Association, the Bally for Freedom. The entire group worked diligently to make the occasion a success. They accomplished their aim as only such sincere effort can do. There was dancing, refreshments, and entertainment, everything which goes into the making of a delightful affair. Although comparatively young, the P.T.D.A. has shown its true colors and has occomplished splendid results. The cooperative spirit of all its members is to be highly commended. We Wish them good luck throughout the coming years. From lelt to right: .D A. Records Committee Faculty Adviser: Miss Wilhelmi leanne Mayer, chm. Phyllis Bins, ass't. chm.

After initiation, showing Dr. Hart in centre. and Dr. John F. Gummere, Headmaster ol William Penn Charter School. guest speaker. SGPI-IRGSYNE Sophrosyne is our Chapter of the National Honor Society. The initiates take the following oath: We believe that our most sacred possession is our honor, and we would guard it so jeal- ously that no human being, through us, should suffer the slightest wrong, and that we, for no reward whatever, would accept an advantage that is not fairly ours. Especially we would be faithful to every trust that our own heart, or the confidence of others, reposes in us. We would be kind: helping our fellows with gracious acts and ready sympathy, and in love for them seeking their good above our own. We would be brave, strong to accept defeat, rebuke, mis- fortune, and to turn them into gain, always attempting, at least, the harder task and letting not one golden opportunity pass unchallenged. We would be wise, simple goodness, and devof tion to duty, and every grace of the spirit, We would set above any intellectual gain, however brilliant, and every mental attainment above all material things whatever, and we would give to what is noble and true our highest reverence. We here declare our purpose to dedicate our lives to this ideal forever. l2B's Phyllis Ariano Florence Camara Arlene Diehl Vivian Dompf Mary Faltermayer Esther Freed Ruth Fried Beatrice Ginsburg Betty Henshaw Mary l-linkson Elizabeth Kreier Nadia Lisovitch Grace Mellwig Miranda Nayowith Margaret Schmidt Paula Strobach Goler Teal Naomi Waldman Betty Young l2A's Doris Albright lane Barlow Charlotte Colgan Ruth Coulter Ruth Curtis Eve Friedman Emma lane Heldke Shirley l-leckheimer Virginia Hudson Gladys Husted Carol Kimbell Iessie Lynch Margaret Quinn Mary Sell Rita Sloane Virginia Spade Barbara Wiley Deena Zeitlin
