To Better the Life I ONCE OWNED A HAMMER, popu- lar Thomasville High Principal W. S. Hor- ton mournfully asserts over the P. A. system. of Youth in Thomasville THOMASVILLE HIGHlS capable prin- cipal, W. S. Horton, and well-trained fac- ulty assure students of the best in high school educational opportunities and ad- vantages. Strict enough to demand top performance of each student, yet under- standing enough to be able to help the student analyze and correct his various problems, this competent group of people aids the student in maturing emotionally as well as intellectually. The major link between the parent and the school, other than the child, is the Parent-Teacher Association. At monthly meetings of the Thomasville High P.T.A. parents and teachers have ample oppor- tunity to discuss their child's progress and problems and plan for his future. Such a relationship between parent and teacher is very advantageous to a childls emotional and intellectual growth. PRINCIPAL W. S. HORTON gives the faculty last minute instructions before report cards are issued . . . BUSY HANDLING SECRETARIAL WORK at Thomasville High are Mrs. Sylvia Baity, Mr. Horton s secretary, and Barbara Little, chairman of the Student Council Office Committee. ll
