Mothers fill the library and give full attention to the speaker. A mother may be very close to her high school son. But in spite of this closeness, she is unable to know ade- quately of her son's school work and conduct without direct contact with his teachers. To provide such contact is the principal function of the Mothers' Club. At their monthly meetings in the school Library the UD High mothers accomplished much, Besides talking with their boy's teachers, mothers who made the trip to school found them- selves rewarded in other ways. For them there were contacts and discus- sions with other mothers, new light thrown on adolescent problems by fac- ulty speakers, and a first hand look at school life. But the mothers give as well as re- ceive. At each meeting a scholarship is given away. The new classroom PA system came from their generosity. In every part of the school stands useful equipment donated by the Mothers' Club. Fr. Farrell, SJ., is faculty moderator. Serving as president was Mrs. Matthew Murphy. Mrs. George Cooney and Mrs. Frank Petersmark directed a very suc- cesssful Gala Night.. UTHERS' CL B FORCES AHEAD Mothers' Club officers: Cseated l. to r.J Mesdames G. Grif- fin, M. Murphy, G. Cooney. Standing: Mesdames W. McGrail, J. Corona, C. Crusoe. Fr. Tolbert breaks the good news.

DADS BACK SCHOOL, S In the job of education there has to be cooperation. Student and teacher, student and parents, and teacher and parents must all work together. But very often the possibility of such cooperation, such as that between teacher and parent, is diminished because the two par- ties do not have any opportunity to get together. The Dads' Club insures that this does not happen at U. of D. High. Without the Dads' Club the job of educating students efficiently would be hampered. For by bringing faculty and fathers together, the Dads' Club enables each part- ner in the business of education to appreciate both his opportunities as well as limitations in what he can do for a student. The Dads' Club also provides occasions for father and son to spend an evening together, along with meet- ing other fathers and sons. Where all this takes place is, of course, at the monthly meetings. Highlights of this year's meetings were the annual Freshman Night, fol- lowed shortly by Meet the Faculty Night, where Dads went through a school day in miniature with their sons. The Feb. 9 meeting was devoted to Vocation Night, which featured a survey of various professions. The Dads were also behind the annual Expansion and Scholarship Drive, which was staged from March 3 to April 10. NS Above: Fr. Koch, S.J., thinks it over. Below: Dads attend to the principal speaker.
