TRUSTEES LYAL INGEHSOLL Chairman MRS. ANNA M. EASON ELIO FONTANA Iust as every building and structure must have a foundation, so must every organization. The solid foundation of our school is our Board of Trustees, two women and three men, whose duty it is to see that the eleven hundred and fifty stu- dents are wisely led, adequately housed, and properly educated. The Board's policies are carried out by Stan- ford Hannah, District Superintendent, and Iohn Mongan, Vice-Principal. They are responsible for the efficient operation of the entire educa- tional program as well as the buildings of our present campus and plans for expansion of these facilities. One of the finest contributions this administration has made to school life is our student government by which much of their authority and responsibility is entrusted to the elected officers of the student body. Miss Ada Wood, Miss Beatrice Moldrup, and Mr. Glenn South share the counseling duties, Miss Wood as Dean of Girls, Mr. South as Dean of Boys, and Miss Moldrup as Sophomore girls' counselor. They are always ready to help any student in planning his educational future or with the variety of other problems which turn up in teen-age life. Miss Wood, the newest mem- ber of this group, is an excellent symbol of the close relationship between students and faculty. You never see her without her bright and cheer- MRS. MILDRED MCGEEIN THOMAS I. CBLLAN ful smiley she has already earned a warm place in our hearts. This year, as for the past few years, the most important administrative problems have been those connected with the growth of our high school population. The freshmen who enter Iefferson each fall greatly outnumber the grad- uates of the previous year. To make more room available a new annex has been started on our present campus. This annex, however, will not adequately solve the problem for more than a few years. A new high school on the coastside has been planned and these plans are reaching maturity. Mr. Hannah believes the coastside school will be complete in the fall of 1955 or 1956. Although this new school will hold a larger number of students than Iefferson, it is not the only one in the process of planning. A third high school in the Sharp Park area is planned for construction in 1958 or 1960. lt seems impossible that our population could grow so much in less than ten years. To make this fact more convincing a look at the grammar school enrollment in this area will help. The present first grade has an enrollment of approxi- mately one thousand and the present seventh grade has an enrollment of over six hundred. For many years to come we can expect to be feeling growing pains.

STUDENT BODY LLEWELLYN REB!-I Student Body Advisor Student government is the mechanism by which students cmd faculty members cooperate for many Worthwhile objec- tives. Primary among these objectives are the planning and control ot student activities, and legislative and adminis- trative experience for those students who participate. This year's student body officers have been a wonderful example of the best qualities of democratic selec- tion. We think they deserve credit for being excellent politicians in the best tradition and the student body deserves praise for their excellent choice. The election of Marge Duncan as pres- ident last spring was a fitting culmina- tion to her years of service and active participation in Ietferson life. During the fall semester she presided ably over the executive board of which she had been a member for three years. As vice-presi- dent, Mabel Garibaldi sold a record- breaking number of student body cards with the placque again being awarded to the senior class for the highest per- centage of student body card sales. As the spring semester began Marge handed her gavel to the newly-elected president, Iohn Daniels. Iohn's record of participation in school activities has been an extraordinary one. In athletics and club enterprises he has been out- standing for his Willing contributions. He has done an excellent job as student body president, introducing strict par- liamentary procedure into sessions of the executive board. Shirley Rasor should be credited with an inspired suc- cess as Iudge in spite of a very crowded calendar. Without Mr. Reese's able and willing assistance much of the accomplishments of this Year could not have been. MABEL GAHIBALDI VIRDA WALKER Vice-President Treasurer NORMA VAN DEB.
