KHS Progresses Under Conscientious MR. SWIHART One of the most highly regarded educators in the state of Indiana is Mr. O. M. Swihart, the Superintendent of the Kokorno- Center Township Consolidated School Corporation. Some of the duties that Superintendent Swihart has to perform include recruiting and recommending personnel, assigning all of the personnel, studying the curriculum of the schools, and seeing that all these schools ore provided with the equipment that they need. He also plans the budget of the school system and serves as an ex-officio member of the Board of School Trustees. Mr. Swihart, a well-educated and a well-qualified man, received his A.B from Manchester College and his M.S. in Education from Indiana University. Because of his untiring efforts, Mr. Swihart has developed our school system into one of the best in the state. Much progress of Kokomo ' s educational program is due to the dedicated work of Dr. Walter Kent, the Assistant Superintendent of the Kokomo Schools. Dr. Kent does much research work for the improvement of the school system and interviews new teach- ers and student teachers. This year he studied the art and health programs of the schools and worked on the installation of the foreign language laboratory and the reading laboratory in the high school. Also, he edited the ' Administrative Handbook. ' As chairman of the Special Education Committee, Dr. Kent gave much attention to the problems of the mentally retarded and the home-bound. Having received his A.B. from DePauw University, his A.M. from the University of Michigan, and his Ed.D. from Indiana University, he is well qualified for his position. DR. KENT

Leadership of School Administration As students of KHS, we owe a great deal to those people who have provided us with the proper academic training. Among the members of the KhIS administration, one of the most valuable is Mr. Kenneth Crook. Mr. Crook, Assistant Principal and Guidance Director at KHS, has become invaluable to the students. The scholastic tests, which were handled by Mr. Crook, gave students a better idea of their abilities. Besides handling the scholarship and testing programs, he directed the activities of Freshman Day and Col- lege Night. Freshman Day, which was held on September 5, was a program designed to introduce incoming freshmen to KHS, while College Night, which was held on October 10, acquainted the upperclassmen with the university of their choice. Mr. Crook received his A.B. at Manchester College and his M.A. at Ball State Teachers College. MR. FARMER A friendly and familiar face in the crowded halls of Kokomo High is that of our principal, Mr. O. I. Farmer. Graduating from Indiana University with a B.S. in Social Studies and an M.A. in Education, he is well versed in several phases of education. Al- though Room 207 is the site of his work, he often quietly ap- pears in a classroom to watch the fruit of his labors ripen. Under ten years of his careful guidance, KHS has become not only one of the biggest but also one of the best high schools in the state. Although his duties as head of the twenty-five hundred member KHS family occupy a great deal of his time, Mr. Farmer leads a very full private life. At home he proudly answers to the title of grandfather. He also takes on active port in several community organizations and is as avid a sports fan as you will find in Kokomo.
