With the rap, rap ofthe gavel, the meetings of the Parent Teachers' Association were called to order. The Parent Teach- ers' Association, more familiarly known as the P.T.A., is the only organization where teachers and parents meet for the ex- press purpose of becoming acquainted with one another so that each can help the other in the vital task of making Johnny and Mary worthwhile citizens of school, city, and state. ln order to raise money to make themselves self-sufficient and to further their proiects, the P.T.A. sponsored two 'Square Dances' and several lectures. The money eamed was used to send a Tolleston girl to Girls' State and to sponsor a 'Founder's Day' program. Although Tolleston's chapter of the Parent Teachers' Asso- ciation was a comparatively new one, it made itself well known in both school and community and will continue to do so.

0BffirP The smiling faces of the girls sitting behind the desks in the oftice were an example of the pervading spirit of the friendliness of Tolleston School. Besides being decorative these same girls were effi- cient and kept the oftice running smoothly. Their duties were varied, but their principal tasks were well defined. In the high school office Mrs. Dorothy Gaski handled all school money and accounts while Miss Elaine Bartkow- ski kept attendance records and changed programs. Miss Bette Bean and Miss Joan Kish, in the grade school office, also took care of the book rental and kept attend- ance records and change of program cards. Functioning as still another of the integrated whole of school were Mrs. Gladys McCrosky, nurse, who took one's temperature and either sent one back to class or home, and Mrs. lda Magioudus, attendance director, who made sure one was home or else. It takes many people and various jobs to keep a school working for the best interests of everyone. wh 0 B tie Bean' Boo 8 Q7

The Advisory Council is an active group of mothers whose ldren attend or attended Tolleston School. Propeled by this association with the school, the mothers have felt called to help solve some ofthe problems arising in school. Meetings of the Advisory Council always have been held in ome room of the school. These meetings were attended by the others and Mr. Standley and, on many occasions, by teachers. Although the Advisory Council had always been generous- aying for the seniors' caps and gowns and other such commend- ble proiects, this year they out-did even their own generosity. he' piano in the auditorium had-shall we say- seen its better ays? The Advisory Council replaced this piano with a shining ell-toned baby grand. Because of their hard work and sincerity, the Advisory Coun- il has come to be depended upon as one of Tolleston's staunch- st backers. COMMITTEE Seated: Mrs. J. Bielski Mrs. J.
