SECRETARIAL PRACTICE A unique feature of the secretarial practice claw merits special notice in The Tiogan. Mem- bers of the class gain actual experience by helping in both the main and guidance offices. Each of the class members is assigned to work one period each day in one of the offices where they do a variety of office work under the supervision of Mrs. Colson and Mrs. Bright. The experience is beneficial to both our school and the clam members, for they become acquainted with office problems and procedure as well as aiding our regular office personnel.

Highlights is designed ' to cover news about all of the students in our school system. Bob Douglas has been doing a splendid job as editor. He has initiated a number of new features and techniques which are making Highlights a paper which shows constant im- provement. Club members gain valuable experience by experiencing the problems of publishing a news- paper, as well as getting considerable practice in composition, layout, and effective reporting.

GEORGE BROWN JOAN SNYDER GEORGE EISENHART George Brown and George Eisenhart did not garner sufficient credits to graduate in June of 1960, so they retumed this year. To date both are doing well with George Brown being on the honor roll and George Eisenhart doing much better in all subjects. We are happy that these students have the determination to finish high school successfully. Joan was accepted at Oneonta State Teachers, but could not enter until January. She has been with us as a post graduate student 54 for the first semester. We wish her the best of luck and clear sailing at Oneonta.

The Library Club endeavors to better acquaint its members with the library and its functions by enabling the student to select books and follow the processes from selection to distribution to the student. This process involves selection, accessioning, placement of call numbers, pockets, and date due slips. Also it involves the selection and filling out the appropriate cards, the covering of the books and the placing of the books on the shelves for student use. 92,0 om The Pep Club trains our cheerleaders, our band ma- jorettes, and our color guard. The training given 'helps the members to be- come proficient in body co- ordination, and aids them materially when try outs for the various groups men- tioned above are held. Many who are successful in making the various squads stay in the club because they realize that the train- ing and practice will help them to Perform better. CICS. 975751 Parents and teachers from Nichols, Tioga Elementary, and Tioga Central make up the membership in our P.T.A. Because we have several population areas in our .school district, the slate of officers includes a number of vice presidents, each representing an area. Further- more, the regular meetings are held in a rotating schedule in each of the three buildings. The P.T.A. is not a policy making organization and does not attempt to influence the Board of Education or the administrators of our school. P.T.A. does, however, attempt to aid in accomplishing the goals set up for the education of our youth by helping when and where needed, and by attempting to keep its members informed about the news, trends, and attitudes in education so that both teachers and parents will better understand the program of our school. Local people and others who are recognized for their work in education or in related fields frequently explain and discuss pertinent topics at P.T.A. meetings. The P.T.A. uses the various school organizations and individual student talent to help in making its meeting more attractive and enjoy- able. The Senior Band, Senior Chorus, Dance Band, and other groups, as well as individual students have performed recently. Though P.T.A. is not basically a fund raising organization it manages to raise enough money to grant two scholarships annually, and to give some financial aid to other student activities. The P.T.A. also helps in grade school activities by having its members serve as room mothers. The annual open house, which in our case occurs at three different times, allows parents and teachers to become better acquainted, and it introduces parents to classroom activities. The P.T.A. lends financial aid and other encouragement for the procure- ment of equipment of a peripheral nature which is deemed necessary to promote higher standards of education.
