tfje Hot of Croton Point J igf) is cf)ool Eests If you are ever in need of advice, be it on how to tie your shoe string, or what course to take next year in high school, Mr. Erwin, our principal, is the man to see. Because he is always friendly and ready to lend a helping hand, he is one of the busiest men on our faculty. Then, as you leave Mr. Erwin’s office and step into the hall, you are liable to be greeted by a cheer¬ ful, Hi, there!” Who else could it be but our super” superintendent, Mr. Lindley? Known for his progressiveness and amiability, he, too, is one of the busiest men we know. But he is never too busy to give a word of advice or make a suggestion which sets us on the right course. Separately, these are two of the finest men we know. Together, they make the splendid team of principal and superintendent under whose guidance our school has pro¬ gressed to where it is today.

Lindley, superintendent; Mr. Walter McLean, treasurer; Mr. Lowell Held, secretary; and Dr. C. R. Pettibone, president. To begin the year right, these men were responsible for the cleaning-up” of the Legion building. This included the cleaning of the basement, the paint¬ ing of the front of tne building, and the installment of a new stoker. Then they have bought new machines for our excellent machine shop. They have also purchased a ref rigerator for the cottage. As so many people are doing, the board is making plans to be completed after the war. One of these is the construction of a baseball diamond to the west of the school. These men meet the first Thursday in every month and, obviously, accomplish great things through their sincere interest in our school and in their jobs as being representatives of the community. 6
