His most important duties are assigning teachers to their classes and working into the school program the many extra-curricular activities. Mr. An- derson also acts as a counselor tor all faculty members. He attends numerous meetings and conferences and trequently spealcs to civic groups. Managing the school budget is also a large part at his job. The leadership ot Mr. Anderson and the rest ot the taculty has helped make Washburn the outstanding school that it is. As we approach graduation time, it might be well for you seniors to reflect on the great opportunities that have been yours as students here at Washburn.
