The Parent-Teacher Association at Grant is organized to help the parents become better informed about desirable practices and standards in the schools and to become better acquainted with the teachers and administration. The P.T.A. has many Worthwhile proj- ects. One of them is a fifty dollar scholar- ship that is offered to a senior, and also the school organization contributes money to the State Parent-Teacher Association Scholarship Fund. Subscriptions to the Oklahoma Parent-Teacher Magazine are purchased by the P.T.A. for the school library and teachers' lounge. They are re- sponsible for the Student Aid and also in charge of providing Homeroom Mothers. In order to raise the money necessary to carry out these projects successfully, the P.T.A. sold pie, cake, and coffee at the open-house held in the fall. Some of their budget was also obtained from the mem- berships sold during the year. Mothers Try Out The New Equipment In The Driver,s Education Building.

W' esponsibility here. When U. S. Grant Junior-Senior High School opened the doors for another school year last August 31, our administrators were given the challenge of service to the largest school in Okla- homa City. A challenge which has been met with a plan and a purpose, that is, enthusiastically and systematically meeting the objectives of Mr. Huff- man, principal, Mr. Thomas Smith, assistant prin- cipal, and Mr. Wallace Smith, assistant principal. Mr. Huffman has maintained his pleasant disposition and cheerful smile through this, his second year at Grant. Before coming to U. S. Grant he taught math, physics and coached all sports for five years in Northern Oklahoma. He added an- other five years as superintendent before coming to Roosevelt Iunior High in Oklahoma City where he was head of the math department for five years. For the' next ten years he served as principal of Franklin junior High. He then went to Iackson junior High as Principal for three years. He came from Jackson to U. S. Grant. Mr. Thomas Smith came to U. S. Grant from Oklahoma State University where he had been a graduate assistant one year and assistant profes- sor one year. Before that he taught business one year at Excelsor junior High and served three years as principal of an elementary school near Wewoka. Mr. Wallace Smith came to us from Iackson Iunior High Schol Where he had been assistant principal four years. He also taught math, science, and photography two years at Iackson. For three years he taught math and science at Crooked Oak School. These three work together on all matters to provide a better school for U. S. Grant students, in all phases, whether it be educational or extra- curricular. THE TOP THREE look over important papers. MR. WALLACE SMITH Assistant Principal MR. TOM SMITH Assistant Principal 21
