Ewan has done much toward effecting the present school curriculum. Mr. McEwan was formerly prin- cipal at Central High School. Among the more immediate leaders was our Big Chief and principal, H. Earle Weaver. Mr. Wezlver has done much toward the good times we have had the past year. Without him our Flight through 1938-1939 would never have been so successful. Then we have our immediate .Iunior Commanders who are Chief Officers to the student body, Mr. George Tate, boys' counselorg Miss Leta Plunkett, girls' counselorg and Mr. Raymond Jarvis, technical and vocational counselor. Mr. Tate and Miss Plun- kett work together to keep the larger part of the student body on the straight and narrow course to success. They are the ones to whom students turn when their navigation charts become confused. Mr. Jarvis works entirely with the students who plan to enter industry upon leaving school. He plans courses best suited to their individual needs. cc J. lkfcliwan, Dr. D. J, Kc Mr. Raymond Jarvis, Miss Leta Plunkett, Mr. H. Earle Wealvei', Mr. George Tate

ADMINISTRATION Left to right: Mr. Arthur Lallochc, Mrs. Howard Swartwood, Mr. George Hale, Mr. Vin- cent Smith. Commanding the past year of Flight were leaders of great ability and personality. Although short- handed, the Board of Education with but four mem- bers carried on for several months. Not until May was a fifth member, the Rev. Theodore Dewees, appointed. As Superintendent of Schools, Dr. D. Kelly has indeed served us well, working hard to make our school the modern, up-to-date building that it is. It has been Dr. Kelly's dream of a lifetime to have another high school in Binghamton. Since this dream has come true, Dr. Kelly has done all in his power to make North High the school to which we enjoy coming. In the position of Lieutenant Flight Commander, or Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Lee Mc- Department Ofhce, 98 Oak Street

Miss Virginia Lane, Miss Mayadelaide Palmer The Pleasant Art of Flying Are you interested in drawing, painting or designing? If so, you will be attracted to North's Art Department with Miss Vir- ginia Lane and Miss Mayadelaide Palmer in charge. Besides Design and Representation, this department also offers instruction in the History of Art. In class students learn pen- cil technic, lettering and the use of frescoes and poster paints. These they put into prac- tice in making posters for the advertising of school events, painting sets for scenery in school productions, and helping out any other department which would benefit through their artistic talents. Many Greek and Roman scenes have been depicted for use in the Latin Department. Although this is one of North's smaller departments, about 250 students are enrolled and it is one which would surely be missed at North. Many of the students have participated in various contests throughout the year. A particularly interested group form the Art Club which works with special projects and individual undertakings, and also submits material for use in The Wamptim.
