The PTA was under the direction of President Mrs. Joan Thomas. A new project sponsored by the PTA was a Tenderloin Fry; this event took place the night of the Football Homecoming. The PTA and Men ' s 400 Club worked at the concession stands during the games. An annual project sponsored by the Men ' s 400 Club was the selling of Howe license plates.
