THEY ARE COMMANDERS-IN-CHIEF War time has given D. L. Barnes, Van Buren township superintendent, many new and different problems. Most important among them, perhaps, is the ever--increasing school population and hand in hand with that, the weighing of building capacities and teaching facilities. ln solving these problems in the districts four schools-F a i r m o n t , Dorothy Lane, Southern Hills and Pasadena-Mr. Barnes has done a remarkable job. A fifth, Green- mont, will come under his jurisdiction next fall when it opens. Maintaining a curriculum in Fairmont to meet both war and peace-time needs is the problem confron-ting Principal I. E. Prass. Assisting Principal Prass in carrying out these demands on the educational system is a corps of twenty-three well-trained teachers, all out- standing in their respective fields. Whenever one of the staff needs help Mr. Prass is ready to lend a hand. Pupils and teachers alike find him a friend indeed. Best Wishes from Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company
