The Reitz Parent-Teacher As- sociation was first formed in April 1919, one year after the high school opened. The organization was first called Patrons Club of Francis Joseph Reitz high school. The first president was M1's. John Bissmaier. The first project to raise funds was a quilt donated by a teacher and raffled off by selling tickets. Mrs. W. A. Smith was the second president. The club purchased a moving picture machine for the school during Mrs. Smith's admin- istration. In 19213, the club adopted its present name. During the years of 1935-316 and 19316-37, a new constitution and by-laws were made. School dances for the stu- dents were held once a month in the gym during 1943-4-4. During 1944-45, the P. T. A. sponsored dances at the U. S. O. Center on Friday nights. The dances were chaperoned by P.T.A. members from Reitz and Central. Average attendance of the dances were between 700 and 800. On November 5, 1945, a Recog- nition Day Program was given in the bowl for the parents of former Reitz students who have been in the armed forces. In 1945-46, the membership was raised to 145 members. The P.T.A. became sponsor of a newly organ- ized Senior Girl Scout troop. An old-fashioned barn dance was given in the gym for Reitz par ents. The successful project of 1945-46 was the continuing of the dances at the U.S.iO. Center.
