V FOUNDERS DAY for the Parent Teachers is commemorated by this One-act play being enacted by Mesdames Foreman, Hobe, Priest. Van DeCar, and Harold Engle, student body president. X-RAY PROGRAM in operation shows Dr. Ogle being shot while other faculty members wait their turn. Strong backers of this search for tuberculosis was the PTA. They ifve Unselfishl To Our School WHAT WOULD HOME be without a mother . . .? What would our school be Without a Parent Teacher Association! No, we're not trying to be funny. The love and kindly help mothers give in the home are somewhat duplicated by those same mothers in their PTA work. They work unseltishly tor the advance- ment of education in the community, give their money and time to help the underprivileged and in countless ways keep the schools needs before the public so that the taxpayers are really cooperative and inter- ested in developing better educational opportunities in the community. President of the PTA for a large part of the year was Mrs. E. I. Mclndoo, who was forced to step down because of illness. Her enthusiasms and leadership gave the group a good start, with Mrs. T. L. Addington carrying on as the leader. PARENTS WHO BACK our school are pictured here at a regular PTA officers' meeting. ln the front row are Mesdames TwitchelL Hook, Shannon. Fretz. Addington.

Look F or Marfvels In Tomorrofufs Schools ATOMIC RESEARCH holds a fascination for those of us who lack technical training. We are enclined to dream up a Buck Rogers world full of planet-bound air cruisers, highways above skyscrapers, marvelous gadgets that do everything and anything for us. But astounding as the future might be, it is good for all of Q' ff f -7 sg . A E : Q -l ? it sf oijg vc' c 47 s 1 , s us that we have teachers who are able to interpret the trends in terms of their own extensive experience. Our school is meeting the challenge of the New Age by a constant streamlining of the curriculum. New courses are set up as technical developments intro- duce new fields. lnstructors are chosen on a practical basis . . . for their technical training and their personal skill. We look for rapid changes in the fields of his- English, languages and the like . . . with visual new methods, and better study conditions, as new inventions and teaching facilities develop. tory, aids, Age will be a smaller factor in the New Era. As more and more leisure time becomes available, people young and old will return to school for training in new fields or for help in developing new hobbies. People never really start to grow old until they have stop- ped wanting to learn. The schools of tomorrow will keep us all young. 1163

Their Youthful Vim Will See Us Through KIBITZERS have a field day at this card game. Only Dr. Eastbum seems to have shaken off those helpiul advisers. Less lucky is Mrs. Halladay. being coached by Miss Sherman. and Mrs. Eastburn. But it was all in fun! YOU ARE NEVER older than you feel, observes the sage. In this fine New World ot ours, there is really no place for leaders who are unable to relax long enough to smile and enjoy the fun of just living! And for you bemused students who think your teachers are nothing but old sticks, take a look at these pictures and hide your heads in shame . . . ln the days of the horse and buggy, the Three R's and the birch whip, education was pretty much a matter of learn or be punished. Nobody really learned much that way. It takes sympathetic understanding and a spirit of cooperation between teachers and stu- dents to get results. Our teachers are in there pitchin' with the rest of us when it comes to solving problems in science, math, history, English and the likeg and they are just as ready for the football game or other Friday night pleasure as we are. Which only proves they are 100 per cent okay! They are the real American peacf makers, these teachers ot ours. Well trained, open- minded, as eager to learn about the new things ahead as anybody could be, our teachers are our best hope for the successful living we students want to enjoy. They have the background ot experience and the enthusiasm of the youthful to help them to help us in what lies ahead. SWING ME AGAIN! Yes, it's none other than our dignified teachers at a faculty hoe-down held this spring at the YWCA for North High and Phoenix Union instructors.
