They Meet Problems We Never See Thcre are more than a few problems re- lating to high school life that are never obvious to the ordinary student. Such problems as student welfare, needed changes in the curriculum, and the rela- tionship of the school to the community are of ever-growing importance, and without a Well-organized Parent-Teacher Associa- tion many of those perplexities would lead to unhappy results. We have been unusually fortunate in our Parent-Teacher setup at Phoenix Union. Not only have the PTA officers been high in quality, but the general membership of this organization has been cooperative, enthusiastic, and forward-looking. This year's officers were Mrs. Fred Mc- Donald, president, Mrs. l-l. S. North, first vice-president, Mrs. Carey Roach, second vice-president, Mrs. William Wahl, record- ing secretary, Mrs. Gene Chambers, secre- tary, Mrs. Warren Parker, treasurer, Mrs. L. N. Butler, valedictorian and historian, Mrs. S. A. Bons, representative of School Board. SQCI .

It Takes More Than Almost as old as the argument which is more important-heredity or environ- ment? is the puzzler regarding which is better-high grades in school or a good time. At least lOO students here have sguelch- ed the last question by making high grades as well as having a good time. Along with their scholastic supremacy of 14, l5, and l6 grade points, these up-'n-coming schol- ars have found time to act in the class plays or the Follies, sing in one of the glee clubs, participate in school sports, and join a few clubs. Brains To Succeed Besides topping high grades, Parnassus members obtain special honors at gradua- tion and become candidates for member- ship in the National Honor Society. And before we turn this page, we'd like to put in our 2 cents' worth regarding that heredity vs. environment angle. People who are born with fewer oppor- tunities than their neighbors often outdo the other fellow because, by overcoming obstacles, they climb to heights not to be attained by the easy-going chap. lt may be fine to have lots of brains-but you must also make use of 'emi C285
