Board of Education THE citizenry of Hamburg' invests grave responsibilities in the school board. It is they to whom the task of selecting' the superintendent, the principals and the faculty falls. The ever-vigilant members have been very successful in their selections and they might well be for they are very desirous of producing future citizens who know how to live com- patibly with their fellow men, who know how to take a keen delight in worthy home membership, who know how to use leisure time to the best advantage and who will be upright citizens with precisely moulded char- acters. Without their wholehearted cooperation the school would be unable to enjoy the benefits of a well equipped gymnasium, an up-to-date workshop and complete classrooms. By their knowledge of finances they balance the school budget and yearly provide for such advances as seem necessary to keep the school apace with the advancing times. Thus the Board of Education stands always ready to open those doors that will lead to a broader and richer education for the youth of Hamburg. --T- LINTELS lf.---1 page twenty-eight

l MISS ECKHARDT WHEN one enters the Junior High School, he will imme- diately find a friend in a certain sympathetic and understanding person. Miss Eckhardt, through her conferences with individual students offers valuable advice and helps them solve their seem- ingly unsolvable problems and guides them to the wise choice of the curriculum best suited to their abilities. Her strong belief in student, participation, is ex- emplified by the Junior High Student Council. When a student takes his leave of Junior High, he retains the pleasant mem- ories of the friendly principal who made the journey through that department a pleasant and profitable experience. PORTALS LINTELS w l MISS RGBBINS FRIEND in need is a friend indeed. When a young person embarks upon the ship of knowledge, he finds himself in a strange school amid strange companions. Miss Robbins, the principal of the Grade School, is that friend, doing all in her power to console the 'young knowledge seekers, to smooth the bumpy road of learning. Rul- ing with a firm but gentle hand, she guides the pupils through the six years of elementary edu- cation. Through her competent management, the Grade School has become a beacon of knowl- edge that directs the students to the path of better living, Widely developed character, and higher education. page twenty-seven

Junior High Faculty EAGER and hopeful, students from the grade school arrive at the portals of higher learning, and are greeted by the cheery smiles of the junior high faculty. These teachers lend a guiding hand to direct the students through these doors, and it is through their encouragement and sympathy that soon the boys and girls become useful citizens. The guidance program is carried out in homeroom meetings and class room periods conducted by junior high school teachers who help the new students adapt themselves to the school environment and advise them in a wise choice of a curriculum in both Senior and Junior High Schools. Each teacher also sponsors a club in which the student has an opportunity of choosing an interesting hobby. In these days of increased leisure time, clubs which teach wise utilization of this opportunity perform a valuable service. The junior high faculty does much to establish a precedent for admirable youth and loyal citizens in Hamburg High Schools. ---l LINTELS -T--L page thirty-one
