WILLARD PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION The book has closed on another year of enjoyable activities for the Willard P. T. A., and the spring semester chapter has been an interesting one. The precious antiques displayed at our Old Fashioned Tea” held early in February will long be remembered by those who braved the stormy weather to attend. Our Founders’ Day Program welcomed a large group of new mothers, and Mr. Clark, first principal of Willard, gave us a most interesting history of the founding and early days of Willard. The Sports’ Dinner in March was not only a financial success but also a wonderful expression of com- munity spirit, and we thank all who cooperated to make it a success. We were pleased to donate additional funds to the Library for books. Spring Day was another gala event and a colorful one this year. Then, to close the chapter, the dinner for the graduating class, at which every mother enjoyed cooperating with the faculty in making a delightful memory for her graduating boy or girl. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with such enthusiastic and cooperative parents and faculty and principal, and I wish to express my deep appreciation for all that has been accomplished this term. May I wish for the new president and her board another delightful and successful chapter in the Book of Child Welfare Activities.” Mrs. Marshall Sayles, President. JUNIOR RED CROSS This term Willard had twenty-seven advisories, which composed twenty-seven Junior Red Cross Memberships. Each of these advisories received the Junior Red Cross Journal” once a month. This year for the first time the Annual Red Cross Convention was held west of Chicago. The Junior R.ed Cross Section was attended by nearly 1000 representatives from various parts of the United States, including Alaska and Flawaii. As it was in San Francisco, Willard was able to send four delegates, Wayne Hooper, Betty Platt, Helen Scott, and Irving Short, and the sponsor. Miss Farwell. On May second, third, and fourth were meetings and discussions at the Civic Auditorium. The theme of the convention was Junior Red Cross as a Social Force,” and the main problem discussed was What Can Junior Red Cross Contribute to the Solution of Current Social Problems?” Irving Short was one of the stated speakers at the Junior High School Session and he gave one of the best speeches on the program. The entertainment features were a Dinner Dance at the Palace Hotel on Monday, International Night” on Tuesday, and a Sightseeing Tour on Wednesday. Informative meetings as well as messages of delegates from all over the globe made the convention a very worthwhile occasion to Willard delegates and enabled them to bring back to Willard many interesting as well as valuable echoes of the meetings attended. I’LL TRY! It isn’t the person who says, I can’t,” Or the man who does things with a sigh. But the ones who make the world go round Are the fellows who say, I’ll try!” It’s easy to shirk what we ought to do And let the world go by. But you’ll find the fellow who’s out in front Is the one who says, I’ll try!” Jim Stewart
