He Charts The Goals GREETINGS TO THE AUTHORS or THE TROJAN PARADE: Publishing the school annual is one of the most im- portant contributions to student life each year. You people who work on it enrich student life by putting into im- mediate practice some of the skills you are learning in the classroom. You not only improve your own abilities, but you also make life more interesting for your fellow pupils, and youlre providing a permanent record which will be 21 source of pleasure to all of us when your school days are over. Sincerely, JACK M. LOGAN, SIl!76l'il7Ili'lIl1lC'l'lf For over sixty years the Trojan parade has been passing the reviewing stand. From the two who started the parade in 1877 almost each succeeding year has seen an increase in the number of marchers until now we see more than two hundred fifty passing by. The line of march has not always been smooth and easy for those who have gone along its way, nor will it always be for those who are passing now. Sometimes the way will be rough and stony, storms will assail and withering heat will bring weariness of body. Only those with clear vision, physical, mental, and moral stamina will reach the end of the march whose goal is marked Success. Marchers of 1940, the world is your reviewing stand. Keep in step.

he school life of 4385 East W'aterloo students and their 140 teachers rests on thc little publicized group of nine men and women who comprise the board of education. Few people, students or parents, realize what faith the voters place in this small group of earnest workers and good citizens when they entrust to them the education of the men and Women of tomorrow. Few people stop to consider the load of responsibility which rests upon their shoulders and the difficult tasks which are regularly their lot. This year's board was headed by President Charles S. McKinstry, Secretary Charles Hostetler, and Treasurer A. J. Burk, and included Mrs. G. A. Tibbitts, H. P. Hansen, C. M. Sherrill, A. D. Donnell, L. A. Priebe, and C. W. Hutton. In this year,s building program were the completion of the new Longfellow School and the construction of an addition to the Frances Grout School as well as the renewal of the million dollar insurance policy covering schools of the East District. Stress was placed on the maintenance of the high caliber teaching staff and the continuance of scholastic progress. They Set The Pace SI .x ll nz Nlrs. G. A.
