neue I ilu, ,Psh11ii11i5irztiin1t BOARD OF EDUCATION lflvery institution has an organization of its own to suit its own particular needs. Our organization is similar to that of the present clemociatic government which is composed of three bodies: legislative, executive, and judiciary. Our board of education acts as the legis- lative body, the principal with his departmental assistants act as the eriecutive body, and interested pa1'ents serve as the judiciary body. Under the guidance of the present board of education our school has achieved many things. The boaid has made possible one of the gfreateft achievements any school could have, a new gymnasium. Ours is the finest and best equipped in Southern Illinois. lt has made pos- sible the active participation of many students in athletics and physical eglucafion. This they have greatly appreciated. We, the class of nineteen hundred thirty-seven, who have enjoyed but one year of the new gymnasium, wish to express our deepest ap- preciation for the sincei'e and untiring efforts of the Board of Educa- tion of the Carbondale Community High School. PRINCIPAL J. H. KETRING, B. Pd., A. B., A. M. Lincoln Jefferson University, Manchester College, Washington University Mr. Ketring, our principal, is truly a man of in- dustry. He has the qualities which mark all good principals-an unceasing desire for improvements within his school, and greater than that, a desire that each individual student may have a well-rounded edu- cation. It is this personal feeling for each student that incites the student body to appreciate and to have confidence in their principal. We will never forget his influence in making our new gymnasium a reality and not just a dream. JOANN BROOKS.

These are things which make life worth while. lt is no difficult matter to point out 'accomplishments made by our school during the school year 1936-37. Our new 360,000 gymnasium is certainly something of which to be proud. The football field has been improved by the installation of flood- lights and the transplanting of Bermuda grass sod on the playing field. New equipment has been added to the athletic department. The foot- ball boys, evidently, to show their appreciation of these improvements, again came forth for the third consecutive year as conference cham- pions. Our basketball team, spurred on by the victory of the gridiron, came forth with a conference championship. The curriculum has been increased by the addition of three HGW courses: Englishgrammlar, additional physical education courses, and home economics. With the addition of home economics a new faculty member has been added, Miss Oliver. One hundred iifty new books have been added to the library and necessary school books have been made available to the students by a rental system, this we greatly appreciated. We were fortunate in having a bigger and better school band. lt was no little honor to belong to the National Thespian Dramatic Society. Ni f ' ' ' ne o our students in the Dramatic Club became members of the organization. Many students have been gratified in their desire to have more school dances. The privilege has been extended so that many practice dances have been held. The publication of the DIAL was important because its purpose was to preserve all these accomplishments. 1101.1 VALUES . Four years of high school offer boys and girls the rare chance for a dedica- tion of themselves to a search for values that endure. What are the things worth anchoring to? Let us see. Language offers conveyance for the expression of ideas which mathematics demands to be expressed with logical precision. Sci- ence lifts her veil of knowledge to ac- quaint us with her marvelous secrets. History gives poise in balancing man's progress against his blunders. Litera- ture, superficial though our adventures may be, sharpens the wits and strength- ons the judgment in unmasking the whims and caprices of man as he runs the gamut of human emotions in his search for oi' rejection of the noble l 'd al.
