'UHJB Qlrnssrnahse The 71l?Humen'5 Parent Ulieacbers Qssuciatiun The Women's Parent Teachers Association is now in its seventh year. The progress has been so rapid that there is, at present, an enrollment of over four hun- dred members, composed of mothers and friends of the school. These diligent women manifest a keen and unselfish interest in the betterment of the school. The activities of this organization are both social and charitable. Among its charitable enterprises are the sewing and knitting classes in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, and the Charity Sewing Group which meets every week to sew for the poor. The social committee conducts fortnightly dancing classes under the instruction of a talented dancing teacher, this committee also supervises informal dances. The orchestra leader and the ladyship teacher for girls of high school age are sponsored by this organization. Another very commendable work is the service of First Friday breakfast in the cafeteria. All this work receives the co-operation and whole-hearted support of the Rev- erend Director, the Reverend William R. Charles. MR. LAWRENCE BAKER .... . President MRS. C. FREDERICK HOFFMAN .
