This year wos, of course, no exception, and it is apparent that they all found going to school extremely interesting. Dr. Lazarow, current PTA President, works with the parent and faculty committees to plan meetings, which are designed to acquaint parents with the aims of our school, the faculty, and the courses offered to their children. During the business meetings, parents also bring up problems that they feel are of importance to all parents and teachers. On November 16 the first PTA meeting of fall quarter wos held. After the business meeting and a talk given by our foreign exchange students, our parents attended classes as we do every day. In that way, parents not only had the opportunity to meet the teachers, but they became acquainted with the typical classroom surroundings. 7
