WYO MI N G P.T.A.---1942-43 The Wyoming P.'I'.A. in I9-I-2-43 directed its energy mainly toward three accomplishments: a program which aimed to give an understanding of the adjustments of the school to meet present day demands, the employment of the membexship toward winning the warg and the promotion of good- will among neighbors old and new and between parents and teachers. Each program contributed toward the theme, Youth in a Changing VVorld. ln September, Mr. Walter reviewed his plans for the school: Dr. Rinehart and Dr. hlathews, the health situation. ln October, Dr. Louis Pechstein developed the theme by discussing the possible trends of education in the future. No meeting was held in November because of rationing-a disappointment because Mr. Cromwell had planned a Visit the School night. Through a discourse by lNIr. Ernest Pick- ering, professor of agriculture at U. C.. hir. Rice made us conscious in December of the rapidly increasing use for art in modern living. January was given to Bliss hlyra Kuenzel, who told us about new methods for measuring mental growth. lilrs. Anita Findlay entertained us at our February meeting with Twilight Over Scandinavia. In lilarch Miss Apel and hlr. Hoover demonstrated with students the new physical fitness program. April was given to the importance of the social studies in the present day by hlrs. Anderson, the elementary teachers, and pupils. Besides maintaining the usual departments-health and safety, art, music with interest in the band, membership, which secured four hundred members, publications, welfare, adult education which fostered courses in typeing, arts and crafts, and Spanish, recreation, which plans to sponsor the summer playground-the association did all it could to further the war effort. It was our privilege to set up and promote Red Crow classes in first aid, home nursing and nutrition and to enlist vol- unteers to assist on the rationing boards. The U.S.O. is receiving over sixty dozen cookies from us each week. VVe have volunteered to collect VVyoming's old stockings for making powder bags. VVar savings stamps are sold at each meeting. Besides adding to the play field with bonds and giving as usual to the extracurricular activities, playground, health, music, recreation, the association divided 5200.00 among the Home Defense Council, the War Chest, and the Red Cross. It has been a pleasure to meet and introduce to our school many of the hundred new families this year. While the function of the P. T. A. is not primarily social, and dinners and teas are merely incidental, the PTA is unique in presenting a truly American opportunity for meeting folks. Parents and teachers are better for knowing that each is human and that both are important. So fitting the democratic character of the PTA, we are mentioning no names of this years leaders. A list of all who helped would include m0St of the members. Sincerely, we believe that the person who gives a batch of cookies or who just comes to meetings is as essential as the president. And so, as another glance at this article will show, the PTA has done much for school and com- munity to honor the VVyoming Cowboys-those Cowboys who have left for more serious things, those Cowboys who are leaving us now, and the little Cowboys who are coming on to take their places. To all the VVyoming Cowboys-God bless them! I
