Fr . f 'Q i ! ' 1 ,., OAK CLIFF HIGH 'Parent-Teacher Jssociation 1 928-1 929 HE Oak Cliff High School Parent-Teacher Association was one of the first to be organized in Dallas. The leaders in this activity were women who for years had been associated with forward movements of many and various natures, and who from the first found Oak CHE alive to the interests and to the needs of the parent- teacher work. The Oak Cliff spirit has always prevailed in everything Oak Cliff, and it is continued in this association. There are approximately five hundred members in this organization at present. Of this number, about four hundred are parents and teachers while the rest are asso- ciate members. Many things are accomplished through the special department work carried on by twenty-six committees. The Adamson Loan and Welfare Fund Committee dis- tributes money to high school students who are in financial need. A great effort is made to keep students in school until they have graduated. As the association does not wish to encourage students to borrow money, loans are made only in emergencies. Another committee, the Girl's Student Loan Fund, lends only to girls who are enter- ing business schools or colleges. The Ways and Means Committee considers the needs of the different departments of this school. The chairman must be a woman who will study the needs of the individual and will then plan to fill them. The president and the executive committee must be willing to co-operate in every way possible. Perhaps more than any other one thing that has given impetus to the work is the one hundred per cent teacher membership with an attendant one hundred per cent co-operation of the instructors in Oak Cliff High School. One of the most outstanding and constructive measures of this organization is the effort to build around the school a social environment of fine spirit, good understanding, and true happiness. The re- sponse to the earnest efforts of the association has been general. It is the hope of the active workers that more and more parents, fathers as well as mothers, will interest themselves enough to help in building the proper educational, spiritual, and social en- vironment for the school community. ,
