A I P. T. A.AThe Wfilson P. T. A. under the able leadership of its President, Mrs. C. Guerrant, has enjoyed a successful year. Their aim, to promote better understanding between home and school, has been carried out through its various activities, such as, monthly meetings, a series of lectures entitled Understanding Adolescent Youth,'7 contributions to the Dental Care Fund, and the state loan fund of the California Congress of P. T. A. To help further the education of students, two scholarships to Long Beach City College were given. The theme, Foundaation of Many Generations, was followed in month- ly programs. Welfare money was raised through splendid co-operation of mothers, teachers and students with a talent assembly, and a bridge dessert luncheon. I AP. T. A.-Front row: Mnxes.
