The fifth and final question
from the moderator was directed
TO Betty 10 Meyer, sophomore
representative. 1t was. Should
a student have money for per-
sonal use?" The point Betty 10
made was that if students are to
realize the value of money they
must come in contact with it and
have a chance to learn to budget
it. She said that she believes an
allowance is the best way to
show students the value of
money.

POWHATAN, Mar. "a - For
the first time in this school year
the SEA of PoWhatan High
School sponsored the program
for a P-TA meeting.
The meeting was held Monday,
March 81. at pm. in the audi
torium of PoWhatan High School.
The theme of the program was
The Needs of Youth.
The panel members were:
Larry Clarke. senior; Sandra
AIanley. Junior; Betty 10 Meyer,
sophomore:: Liston Rudd, fresh
an. and Shirley Graham,
eighth grade. Gloria May. secre-
tary of the SEA, acted as secre-
taly of the panel and Doug
walker, president Of the SEA,
was moderator
The junior representative, San
dra Marley, was asked the first
question. It was: Are parents
over protective toward their
children?" Sandra answered in
the affirmative. She said that
she believed that students face
enough in the future without hav-
ing an added responsibility of IL
experience. She suggested giving
students responsibility and at an
early age SO they car become &C
customed to it and free them
selves from mothers apron
strings Frankness about the
facts of life was brought up and
the opinion was given that a stu
dent can face up to things better
with the true version CT life and
not the "barnyard' version.
The second question was di-
rected to the eighth grade repre-
sentative, Shirley Graham. 1t
was: DO parents expect stu
dents to get straight ASP" Shir-
ley answered with a roundabout
no" She stated, though, that
most parents expect students to
do their best in school. Also,
that many parents set standards
for their children and others pun
ish their children for getting bad
grades. The nair reason for pun
ishment was that nearly anyone
can maintain a &C" average.
The next question was directed
to senior representative, Larry
Clarke He was asked: I'm what
ways can parent aid a student
in his studies and educational in
terests?" He brought out the
following points that can aid a

In giving his work patterns Mr.. Norel, who believes
that most copying badly done released the idea before
he himself had time to capitalize it. This culotte
threatens to be fashion that both Paris and Italy will
spotlight this fall.
Much copied Mr.. Norell is upset by this fact
"I don't mind being copied It's when they louise it

He claims that the chemise which is not dead in

We liked the Ben Gershel

all the dressy fashions we'd
been seeing every hour on

riding habit accessories like

tailoring aspect that is re-
