Nichols, Jr. As a result of having this year the largest enrollment in the history of Sunset Hill School, the activities of the Parent-Teacher Association have enjoyed a greater parent interest and participation. The Council of this organization, which is the management group of Parent-Teacher Association activities, consists of active committee chairmen, co-chairmen and officers. The twenty-seven interested mothers who form this council give their time and effort to make the P.-T.A. a cooperative body in school activities. A A The P.-T.A. council committees play an important role in the planning of class mixers and teas, in cooperating with the Social Service Board in its Thanksgiving and Christmas aid to needy families and with the Library Board in carrying out the annual Book Fair, in representation with other schools in the Social Conduct Council, and in continuing the high enrollment of the school. Father-Daughter dinners and College Guidance Conferences for parents help parents and teachers to understand each other better through the functions of the Parent-Teacher Association. ...6- H16 an W0 Scl the Fo toc
