The Board of Education OLEDCYS Board of Education ranks as one of the best in the country. Worlcing' as a unit similar to the boards of education in other leading cities, it has for its principal duty the establishing of policies of school operation. All plans for new buildings, budget sys- tems, and any questions of school finances, are brought up before this board, which is composed of Mr. Robert C. Dunn, President, Mr. Gustavus Ohlinger, Mrs. Ralph Daniels, Mr. David Goodwillie, Mr. Sidney Vinnedge, and Miss Mary Foster, Clerk. The superintendent of schools is chosen by this body, and se- lecting the teachers is one of his various duties. He also deter- mines what shall be taught in Toledo schools. Mr. Charles S. Meek, nationally known in educational circles, is our present superintendent. He is capably assisted by Mr. Ralph E. Dugdale, who is respected by all who work with him, because of his fair- mindedness and good judgment. Libbey High School, among other schools of higher education in Toledo, is under the supervision of Mr. Roswell C. Puckett, who has won the admiration of all the high school teachers and pupils because of his willingness to cooperate. He spends a certain amount of time in each high school, getting acquainted with its educational methods. His excellent advice is readily accepted by all who have the privilege of hearing him. Mr. Russell Weiizlau, the Toledo Director of Schools, has earned the friendship of all who have come in contact with him. His understanding nature is admired by everyone. Through the cooperation of the citizens of Toledo, with the board of education and its assistants, the future men and women of Toledo are being educated in an atmosphere of promotive spirit and progress. l15l

l 1 Our Principal GAIN, we pay tribute to the kindest and most helpful of principals, Mr. Harold E. W'illiams. For four years now we have shared his goodness and gener- osity, finding in him the counsel and guidance we so need. Mr. Willialiis is one among us, teacher and friend alike. His interests are centered around Libbey and her young people, and with full consciousness of the great respon- sibility that is his, he performs his manifold duties wisely and well. Not only do we admire the executive ability which enables our principal to effect the harmonious directing of an organi- zation as complex as a large high school must of necessity be, but we want also to express our appreciation for the interest which he is so ready to show at all times in our affairs. He is never too busy to advise us or help us solve some problem, and gives lavishly of his own time to make our activities successful, encouraging us by his presence, which always makes us feel as though the thing we are doing is worth while. We feel his influence in all that we do, and with the great- est respect for his ideals, we strive to keep ourselves mentally and physically lit that he may be proud to recognize us as worthy citizens and true Americans. We at Libbey recognize in Mr. VVilliams the splendid attributes that have made themselves a part of his character and that have placed him as an example to guide and inspire us. May continued happiness in his work be his, and may many succeeding classes enjoy the privilege, the memory of which we shall always cherish, of attending a school splendidly adminis- tered by our beloved principal. l17l
