T ey ave faith in the Younger Generation We hate to appear boastful . . . but most of us feel that, to our parents, we are very important in- deed. Our teachers, too, have an idea that perhaps the younger generation has some promise! At any rate, common interests have brought our parents and teachers together in what is known as the Parent-Teacher Association, an organization dedicated to the welfare, ideals, and growth of Phoenix High. Unusually active, our PTA forms discussion groups, considers current problems, and attends to needs of under-privileged students. ln the interest of health and safety, the PTA cooperates with other service groups to Work for the good of our students. Arizona is very active in the PTA as a national movement. Local and state units cooperate to the fullest extent. Head of the PUHS group is Mrs. U. C. Bobbitt with Mrs. Fred McDonald as first vice-presie dent and Mrs. Ambrose Smith as second vice-presi- dent. Mrs. A. C. Murr is recording secretary, Mrs. George E. Steisel, corresponding secretary. Other officers include Mr. Charles M. Burton, treasurer: Mr. William Gates, auditor, Mrs. L. N. Butler, his- torian, and Mrs. loe Rumsey, parliamentarian. For the first time, Phoenix Union and North Phoenix high schools this year have separate PTA units. t2'7l

oyall 0 ur I: ag s ol Dehalahle ln his opening address to the assembled teachers last fall, Superintendent Montgomery voiced the de- termination of every administrator and instructor in the Phoenix school system to do all that is possible to achieve national unity, forming a solid front against the forces that are unfriendly to our Democratic institu- tions. Let us remember, declared the superintendent, that there is no room in America for Naziism, Fascism, or Communism. Loyalty to our Flag is certainly not a debatable question for Americans. We, as teachers in the American public schools, should always make every possible effort to inculcate true Americanism and support of the Constitution of the United States and all the principles for which it stands. Certainly, a more loyal, enthusiastic, and scholastically superior group of teachers cannot be found on an American high school campus. We are proud of our association with such outstanding men and women. They have contributed much that is beneficial, real, and lasting in our lives. EDUCATION is big business, and it takes skilled business people to keep the wheels of our huge factory Well oiled. Business Manager Barqman fupper righti is contact man for all our purchases, disbursements, bids, and con- tracts. The Business Office tupper lettl is a busy place, as Mr. Laur will agree. Director of Research and Guidance is Dr. Eastburn flower left.J Mrs. Hill flower rightl is school postmistress and switchboard operator. C261
