KENNISON To administer to the needs of Toledo's great school system demands the utmost care and attention on the part of our Board of Education. The respon- sibilities oi this organization limits its membership to only the most efficient and capable men, who must have not only a genius for directing the present school system, but also a keen insight into the needs of the greater Toledo in the future with its' increased population, demanding a constantly expanding curriculum and program of vocational subjects. Each year the taxpayers of Toledo turn over to the Board of Education the contribution of their means towards the upkeep and improvement of the Toledo schools. This money must be allotted in a careful way to satisfy the demands of the citizens for the best of school systems and a proper return for the money invested. It is a gigantic task to do this as well as the people of Toledo expect. Yet- we can credit our Board of Education not only with this. accomplishment but withi many other remarkable examples of capability as well. t . The action of the Board of Education in bringing Superintendent Charles S. Meek to Toledo is greatly to their credit. Mr. Meek, with the help of his many' co-workers, has bestowed upon his work the wisdom with which his years in educational circles have endowed him. Mr. Meek has brought the organization of the Toledo schools to the highest possible point, and working hand in hand with the Board of Education, has instilled in the-f schools the spirit of progressive- ness which is making them equal to every demand. With thefuture of Toledo's educational needs in such capable hands, we can be assured of the best schools for Toledo. Already the building program is under way, and it is a fine example of the prompt way in which our Board of 4- - I Education is functioning. May we show to the men who have made Libbey High ,Q . School possible the appreciation that is justly due for meritorious work. 2 V 4 Sunil T Tum BDHLIAN . ........... f' 2-5, 1

XV, ---mmm: 4 1 O z ............... lil C 0 Q, Harold E. Williams UST three years ago, when the doors of Edward Drummond Libbey High School were opened to its first student body, we welcomed Harold E. Williams as Principal of our wonderful institution. It is only the privilege of the Seniors to recall the thrills of that opening day and the celerity with which the school became organized in all its departments. There was one big question in the minds of every resident of Toledo: What is Libbey High School going to become? Can Libbey hold its own with the older schools? Little did they realize how soon that question was to be answered. Looking back on the pages of Libbey History, short but mighty, we can discern now, that, from the very first. there was never a moment's doubt con- cerning the future of Libbey. Long before Libbey opened its portals, a man had a vision of Libbey's power and future. He made a resolution, and began his career at Libbey with every ounce of spirit and enthusiasm he could muster. Today, the rewards of this man's toil have come. Through theefforts of Harold Williams Libbey High School has reached the top within a time shorter than its most loyal supporter ever dared to dream of. Today, every citizen of Toledo has answered in his own mind the question, what will Libbey become? Most instrumental in this success has been the bond of friendship and under- standing which Mr. Williams has established with the students of Libbey. From the lowliest Freshman to the mightiest Senior there has ever been present a desire to work for Mr. Williams because he has been willing to work for us. While Mr. Williams was suffering from a severe illness and was' forced l0 -be absent from Libbey, every student tried to aid him and cheer him up with messages and tokens of sympathy. To him these revelations of friendship will always remain the greatest inspiration and reward. Harold Williams is not just the Principal of Libbey, he is the very spirit of Libbey, and even more, our best and most trusted friend. We can never fully repay his efforts, but we can, to the best of our ability, become the men and women that he would have us be. se 6 i fffflllffllifffffffffffflffffffffffff ff, 'mn EDELIAN ,.Qf'.1Q 1QQQQQ1Q'. fffflllliiffi f Q L l27l
