IN MEMORIAM Willard has again lost by death one of her esteemed teachers, Mr. W. E. Beardsley. Mr. Beardsley was a man of arfistic temperament and scholarly attainments. He loved the best in art, in music, and in literature. As a musician, Mr. Beardsley ' s voice v as sweet in song and his ear acute to the tones of the different instruments he played so well. To the few, Mr. Beardsley ' s keen humor was well known, and it was an added charm to his personality. His long association with Willard will cause him to be missed by many. WILLARD P. T. A. As we begin another year in Parent-Teacher work, we are look ing forward to a year full of pleasant activities and associations, always keeping in mind the welfare of boys and girls of Willard and not forgetting youth everywhere. Already our program chairman, Mrs. James Smith, has planned several interesting meetings for the remainder of the school year, building her programs around the boys and girls of the school. We wish to thank them, their teachers, leaders, and Mr. Hayes for their wonderful cooperation. We hope to present all the activities of the school during the coming year in order to encourage the boys and girls in their worth-while programs, and to interpret to the parents what their children are accomplishing in character development. The Student Aid Work will be continued under the fine and wise supervision of our beloved Mrs. Colmore. We are also fortunate to have Mr. Baxter on our Executive Board this year. Mrs. Abbott will continue her sewing class, and we hope more girls will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity of such capable assistance in making their own clothes. A most interesting parent-education course, a mother-daughter class, is being con- ducted by Dr. Edith Bryan. This course is planned to bring about a better understanding of fhe girls ' viewpoint by the mothers, and the mothers ' viewpoint by the daughters. A good attendance is reported and much interest is shown in the class by both mothers and daughters. An adult class in adolescence will be organized by Dr. Bryan in the fall. Spring Day has come and gone again, leaving memories of an enjoyable event and interesting costumes, as well as a financial success. We thank all for their support. May we of the Executive Board wish you, parents and students, a most enjoyable and health-giving vacation and may you return v lth renewed vigor and enthusiasm for the new year. Mrs. Marshall Sayles, President. WILLARD DADS ' CLUB My second year in Dads ' Club leadership was a joy instead of a dufy because of the spirited cooperation from the principal, the teachers, and the students of Willard. It was also made happier by the association with Vice-President Donald Campbell, Secretary Al Blackwell, and Treasurer F. A. Buckingham. At the opening of the new gym, there was a splendid attendance of Dads. Willard ' s basketball team successfully took on the Berkeley Y I 20 ' s. Mrs. Edna Kellogg directed the Glee Club in a series of rousing, inspirational songs. Lester Ready gave interesting and instructive reports on committee progress. And I should like to thank the Dads for their committee work on the Gymnasium, the Auditorium, and the Playground. The Nominating Committee reported at the Dads ' Daughters and Sons ' Dinner on May 27th. May I wish the new officers the best of success, and fhat will mean the continued cooperation of all of you at Willard. » 3 « Fred S. Strlpp, President.
