The Board of Education 'HE reputation of Toledo as a city which takes an unusual pride in its school system is in no small measure due to the clear- sighted ability and cooperation of the Board of Education. The present Board is composed of Mr. David Goodwillie, presi- M- dent, Mr. Harry Haskell, Mr. Sidney Vinnedge, Mr. Gus Qhlinger, Mrs. Ruby Crampton, and Miss Mary Foster, clerk. It is this group which determines the policies of school operation in all matters such as plans for new buildings, budget systems, and questions of school finance.

Mr. Charles S. Meek, our present superintendent, has not .only elevated the standards of our schools by his willingness to have introduced the finest and newest educational methods, but he has made him- self known nationally as an educator. In this way he has carried far the name of our city and by his contact with the best minds in the field of education, as well as by his own individual research work, he has brought to his group much that is of profit to the entire community. Assisting Mr. Meek as superintendent is Mr. Ralph E. Dugdale, whose efficiency, industry and good judgment arouse the admiration of his co-workers. All Toledo high schools are supervised by Mr. Roswell C. Puckett, whose advice is respectfully accepted by all who are privileged to hear him. He divides his time among all of the high schools, becoming acquainted with their methods and offering helpful suggestions. He has inspired the admira- tion of all high school teachers and pupils, due to his sympathetic interest and understanding. Mr. Russell Wenzlati, the Toledo Director of Schools, has, by his efficiency and good nature, won the friendship of all who work with him. Through the efforts of these officials and the cooperation of the citizens, the doors of educational opportunity in Toledo have been opened to thousands of boys and girls whose progress is the most gracious tribute an administra- tive body could ask or receive.

l K K nu-.JL Our Principal FTER four years of silent and deep admiration for our friend and leader, Mr. Harold E. Williaiiis, it is our privilege to express our gratitude and appreciation for his kind unselfish and faithful leadership 'ls well as his marked executive ability In whatever department of school activ ity our Work V U 4 7 4 C K X l D . has been, each one of us has been conscious of his interest and guidance. He gives unstintingly of his time, and all his interest is centered in the school, which he manages with such quiet efficiency that no flaw in the machinery is ever manifest to detract the students from their purpose of obtaining an education or make them feel that their best interests are not being safeguarded. Each student receives the benefit of a keen intellect constantly on the alert for ways and means to improve the institution of which he is principal. Amid duties so varied and so numerous, We marvel at his harmonious and effective administration. In spite of these manifold demands upon time and strength, he is never too busy to add his personal touch to our interests, to offer helpful suggestions and to attend our activities. The value of this type of contact is inestimable, for it not only inspires the confidence of the students and encourages them to greater efforts, but it also en- ables the principal himself to see more clearly the problems and needs of his groups. That Mr. Willianis enjoys these contacts we are sure, for his school constitutes not only his work but his hobby. Above all these qualities-kindness, tolerance, good ' judgment, sympathy, and industry-there is one outstanding merit which we admire in Mr. Williams, this is his spirit, strong enough to stand firm in these days of changing standards and vacillating ideals, and to perform an act not for reward, not for fame, not for pleasure, but solely because it is right. We are indebted to Mr. Willianis for the example he sets for us and for the influence of a character steadfast and true. May many following classes enjoy the opportunity of attending a school so well managed and may our principal long continue his work, enjoying his share of the happiness life brings inevitably to all. 19
