NESBITT Treasurer MRS. GEO. H. KIRKPATRICK Mrs. J. XV. Nesbitt Mrs. G. H. Kirkpatrick Few of us realize the meaning or the social relations of the Parent-Teacher Association. The main object of the organization is to bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may unite in an effort to understand better the needs and interests of children. It gives our parents an excellent opportunity to speak with the teachersg to confer so that they may know the school system. Teachers need an opportunity to find out something of the students' homes, knowledge of which affords them a better understanding of student problems. Another great object of the P.T.A. is to promote the wel- fare of children. It unites parents and teachers to improve homelife and to secure the protection and care of children. A thorough study and investigation of individual needs presents special work for such an organization. If emer- gencies arise, material aid is given without unnecessary attention of other persons. The Parent-Teacher Association is a volunteer organization to which any parent, teacher, or citizen who is interested in children may belong. The members serve on committees and participate in programs, in order that they may Share in the work of the association. Although entertainment is of minor importance, the programs are always of real value. At 'the regular monthly meetings, prominent speakers are invited to address the association on topics based upon the chosen theme. Music by distinguished artists adds a dehnite enjoyment to the meeting. Students of the High School frequently present entertainment through the Play Production classes. On February seventeenth the P.T.A. celebrated Founders' Day, commem- orating not only the founding of the first Parent-Teacher Organization but also celebrating the second year of service of our Senior High School organization. A colorful pageant Through the Years was given, followed by the popular candle lighting ceremony The Gift Bearers . The annual spring exhibit, or Open Housev, is an important eventg for students, with the help of teachers, present their work in a valuable display. This enables parents to examine the work of their children. In this manner, the Parent-Teacher Association of Willcinsburg High School is a constructive force in shaping the life of our youth. -DOROTHY STRUBLE. 26
