Db .um R. D B E! The 'Parent-Teacher .Association HIS year, owing to the efficient work of the membership committee, of which Mrs. R. A. Armstrong is chairman, the Parent-Teacher Association has one hun- dred and twenty-nine members. Many worthy things have been accomplished, foremost among which has been the organization of the fathers into a working group affiliated with the Parent-Teacher Association. The mothers, too, have their work. As a means of assisting the young people in their social activities the mothers of each class organized to sponsor class parties and other similar affairs. In this connection, the Senior mothers of Oak Cliff and Sunset combined to entertain the January graduates with a party at Dal-Oak Country Club. More interest than ever before, perhaps, has been manifested this year in the aesthetic side of Oak Cliff school life. The Parent-Teacher Association joined with the Athletic Association in the purchase of The Round-Up,', Frank Reaugh's famous picture, which was presented to the Oak Cliff High School. Another feature of the year's work was the financing of the landscape work done on the school grounds. The School Board shared in the expense of this undertaking, believing as they do that beauty of environment is the rightful inheritance of every school. Along the same line and through the efforts of Mrs. C. R, Rhew, Chairman of the House and Grounds Committee, and Mrs. john Hopkinson, a new hardwood floor was laid in the gymnasium. Mrs. M. Bonner, Chairman of the Art Committee, gave a scholarship which was awarded to .Iosphine Smith. The Sunshine Committee under the leadership of Mrs. Kiefe has helped several students by providing lunches and other financial assistance. Mrs. H. M. Settle, first vice-president, has provided interesting and helpful programs at the regular monthly meetings. Each program has featured a different phase of High School Work, such as R. O. T. C., Athletics, Domestic Science, Girl Reserves, Physical Training, and Art. The most elaborate program was the one arranged for the Home Coming of former students, celebrating Mr. Adamson's quarter century of service. Another en- tertainment was the play, The Birds, Christmas Carol, given by the Latimer Club in December. At the February meeting, the mothers of students who entered at mid-term were welcomed into membership of the club, a reception in their honor was held in the Domestic Science room. ' As a means of assisting ambitious girls through college the Students' Loan Fund, of which Mrs. D. R. Crow is chairman, has been established. During 1925-26 five girls have been assisted. The Students' Loan Fund was established in the years 1923-24 at Mr. Adamson's suggestion, during Mrs. Dwight Horton's term as president of the Parent-Teachers' Association. This fund is loaned to girl graduates of Oak Cliff High School to continue their education through either a college or business course. It is re-payable at the studentls convenience, and each girl is permitted to choose her own school. Varying sums are loaned, according to the applicant's re- quirements. A permanent committee of business men including, L. O. Donald, W. C. Barnes, Judge Niblo, together with Mr. Adamson, Miss Graves, and Miss Beulah Baker, administer the fund. R E! Ulll U1 Page Thirteen
