RODEO TIME finds the Registrar's Office personnel all dressed up solves every difficult situation. FROM LEFT are pictured Edna to welcome the levi-clad buckeroos who daily storm the windows Baker, Ann Gupton, Mildred Overton, Gail Larson Jeannette with all sorts of problems. But the quiet efficiency of these ladies Armstrong, and Helen Thomas, ager Lines Keep Forming THERE MUST BE an endless escalator moving these students up to the Registrar's Office window. Or so the busy and often-harried workers must believe. The huge crowds begin almost before the opening day of school and seem to continue until the day after gradu- ation in June. WHAT BRINGS these teeming teeners to the R, O. windows? Nothing much, the youthful dudes will tell you. Nothing much except: tardy and absence excuses, mixed up schedules, changed courses, drop notices, entrance applications, weird requests for new courses. Or they've forgotten their schedule or locker number, or this class is too hard, that one unsuit- able. Or, would you send my transcript to another school, since I'm planning to leave here? Not all of the requests are granted, and a good many are beyond sound reason. But for the most part, students and counselors strike a happy medium that makes for smooth operation of a big school.

Our Scl1ool's Best Friends SIGNING UP for PTA member- ship is a most important func- tion, agree Mesdames Kirk, lberri, and Tussey, as they wel- come a Coyote dad into the organization at the annual Parent-Teacher Dinner in the Cafeteria. WHAT THE SCHOOL means to the community can be a number of things, but the Parent- Teacher Association, forming a most valuable link between the school and the townspeople, does a good job of selling Phoenix Uniori's aims and achievements' to the taxpayers. Best friends of the school, the PTA leaders help with health campaigns, charity drives, and Open House events. They help needy students with books and clothing, and extend a courtesy to the graduating seniors in the form of a formal dance Graduation Night. WHEN THE MEMBERSHIP drive failed to produce enough revenue for PTA projects, they called on the teachers for help. The Faculty Vaudeville, Why Does A Fireman Wear Red Suspenders? netted over S400 - and the important work of our PTA went on. REPORT TO PARENTS is given by Principal Carter, who outlines High School. Parents and teachers were gathered in Cafeteria for some of the plans for Phoenix Union and next year's Polytechnical the annual PTA Dinner and Membership Drive.
