an.. School administration covers a multitude of responsibilities. The panel to the right shows but a few of them, from build- ing maintenance to providing a public visiting session on a eve- ning during National Education Week. What with Mining Classes and Veterans' School at night, financial management, and supervision of instruction, the superintendent's office is a busy place. hool These men have had a dilticult task in the face of rising costs and sc income that has shrunk in purchasing power. Yet they have done their iob well. The Evaluation ot Indiana High by the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges shows that Indiana is serving the needs of its students better than seventy-nine per cent of all accredited schools, and that is a very high rating. The Board and superintendent are motivated by one major idea-to pre- pare the next generation for productive and intelligent citizenship. They know that the welfare and development of our nation, and the welfare of the people of all nations, is dependent upon the character and enlightenment of the coming generation. Mrs. Florence Barbi, Stenographer Mrs. Marion Bath, secretary to the Board of Education and to the Superintendent. L'lndien -- il

J1w 10ggzm lt is a rather difficult iob to give a really adequate picture of the ever-shifting panorama of life as it goes on in a fairly large, progressive high school like Indiana High. The school is probably the most crowded organization during the day that can be found in the whole county. Yet we grow and learn in a very satisfactory way. As a matter of fact, we are an accredited school of the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges. We have enjoyed that status for sixteen years, and this year an Evaluating Com- mittee of the Association spent most of a school week with us re-evaluating the school on its phil- osophy of operation, its curriculum, library facili- ties, pupil activities, pupil guidance, the outcomes of instruction, its teaching personnel, plant facili- ties and administration. The results of that evalu- ation as announced to the student body and the public show that we came through with fiying colors. It proves what we already knew: Indiana High is not only a good school, it is one of the best of the accredited schools. Indiana graduates have made an enviable record in many schools and have won many scholarships and scholastic honors. The school has a tradition of turning out informed, produc- tive, and worthwhile citizens. We are proud of that record.
