Ten members various responsibilites are accepted by of the Club continue to be active even Club members voluntarily. though their children have graduated and are now in colleges or universities. The main purpose of the Parents Club is to help the high school both morally and financially. During the past year, the Club donated over 536,000 for the support of the school. This impressive sum was raised by hav– ing such activities as picnics, concerts, bake sales and dances. While some community activities are exclusively Club-sponsored, others are Club-sup- ported or co-sponsored. The latest of this nature was the lmma– culate Conception parish-sponsored benefit to assist in the upkeep of its schools. The main attraction of this benefit was actor Jack Palance. He flew in all the way from Hollywood just to be with some 450 guests who contributed S50, Si00 or more per plate, if they were lucky enough to get in. This was financially and morally the most successful event of its kind ever held in Detroit. Next day, Mr. Palance spent the morning meeting, greeting and giving acting lessons to the school's students who were delighted by the rare experi– ence.
