Washington Irving High School - Alhambra Yearbook (Tarrytown, NY)

Aside from the regular program and activi- ties, the school, teachers, and parents try to guide and broaden the interests of the stud- ents in various other ways. The P. T. A. tries to promote the welfare of children and youth in the school, com- munity, and home. This year, news letters concerning P. T. A. activities were introduced, and a School Board Candidate Meeting was formed to acquaint the public with the views of those candidates running for office. A con- crete example of the Work of the P. T. A, is the scholarship which is awarded each year to one or two deserving high school seniors. Mr. Cushman, our guidance director, and Miss Spinelli are called upon each day to help the students with those problems relating to school and family life. Personal adjustment, schedule planning, vocational guidance, and helping the graduating senior find the right college or field of work are just a few of the duties that they perform to make school more meaningful and pleasant for the students of W. I. Marilyn Prior, Secretary ':,g,.-0--A., Foreign exchange students from the Herald Tribune Forum, spon- sored in W. I. by Miss Wright, acquainted the students with their countries and way of life. At College Night the students have the opportunity to learn about the colleges, universities, and other schools they are interested in from their representatives. This year Col- lege Night was sponsored by five high schools with W. I. acting as host. More than forty schools were represented. Page seven
