They have worked in very close harmony with the student body and the faculty of the school. Parents, students, and faculty have cooperated in presenting programs which were of real value in setting forth the needs of the school and community. The real purpose of any Parent Teacher Association, namely the welfare of children, was the basis of all their work. Dances were held at the Little Theatre and at Drexel Hall for the students. These proved to be a most entertaining and popular activity. The presentation of the second annual West- port on Paradev was one of the outstanding pro- grams of the year. It showed in an interesting man- ner all of the activities of the high school. A home talent show, The Bazaar at Westport, was anoth- er interesting program put on by the P. T. A., faculty, and students. Several card parties and luncheons were spon- sored by the organization. Many members sewed at the Mutual Help Center. Cash contributions were made to the Mary Har- mon Weeks, Caroline B. Ullman, Phoebe Jane Ess, and Gold Star Student loan funds, also to the Mutual Help Center and to the Hi-Y, Girl Re- serves, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Camp Fire Girls. The Association also helped finance the Crier and bought some furniture for the stage. They feel that perhaps one of the greatest services was their part in securing an annex to the present building as well as some improvements in the old building. The P. T. A. called a meeting of the patrons of the school to discuss the needs for more and better facilities. This group elected Mrs. W. S. P. Robins as chairman of their committee. The committee put in many long hours of careful consideration of the needs and finally presented them to the Board of Education. As a result Westport High School is to have some very fine improvements, a new study hall, a much improved, sound-proof cafeteria, and a two story annex which will provide various class rooms on the first floor. The second floor will con- tain probably the finest quarters for instrumental music in the Middle West. Mrs. W. S. P. Robins served very efficiently and ably as president throughout the whole year. She was also president of the P. T. A. in Westport Junior in 1936-37, and in Westport Senior in 1937-38.
