The Quadrant Backers of the Cruise The Board of Education is an integral part of any school system. Especially is this true of the Lawrence Board which serves our schools efficiently and well. The men who compose the Board of Education and guide the affairs of the Lawrence Public Schools are A. B. Ewing, president; Paul B. Lawson, vice-president; Lloyd Houston, Lloyd S. Purcell, W. H. Quakenbush, and F. C. Whipple. H. L. Sutherland serves as Clerk of the Board and Mrs. Whit A. Churchill as treasurer. The Board is divided into four committees. On the Education committee are Lawson, Quakenbush, and Hous- ton. The Business and Finance committee is headed by Whipple, Quakenbush, and Purcell; the Building and Grounds by Houston, Purcell, and Whipple; and the Health committee is headed by Quakenbush, Lawson, and Houston with Dr. A. J. Anderson as Medical Adviser. Miss Electa Kindlesperger is school nurse and Dr. J. I. Perry is school dentist. There will be but one change in the personnel of the Board for next year. Rev. T. H. Aszman will take the place of A. B. Ewing who did not seek reelection. Assistants in the Superintendent’s office are Vesta White, secretary; Sarilou Smart and Lucille Stratton, tele- phone switchboard operators.

The Quadrant Commander Birch Although the students do not often come into daily contact with him, Commander-in-Chief Birch guides the good ship “L. M. H. S.” with an interest and a sincerity in the welfare of each passenger. As a result of his fine work and administration, the citi- zens, as well as ship enlistments, may well be proud of the cruise the ship has taken. Commodore Wherry Because of the necessity of a strong guiding in- fluence to prevent mutiny on board, the Commodore is occasionally subjected to criticism because of his insistance that details be carried out to the “T”. This insistance has seemed to be just what the crew has needed to make it pull together, for the past year has proved one of the most fruitful ones in 1..M.H.S. history. We salute a fine Commodore. Captain Wickham Entrusted with the duty to see that the passengers realize their desires, the Captain has carried out his task in workmanlike fashion. As representative of those on board he has seen to it that their opinions have been expressed in the council. His term of office expires with graduation, at which time we must regretfully say, “Bon voyage, Fred!”

The Quadrant A Porthole Glimpse Through the porthole we catch a glimpse of the officers’ assistants as the candid camera caught them at work and at ease. To follow them in all their duties on this cruise would be more than a dozen camera men could do. They instruct the crew, admonish the ensigns, assist the midshipmen, restrain the yearlings, en- courage the plebes as they pass from stateroom to stateroom on the various decks of our good ship. Without the aid of these capable officers’ assistants the ship would have wandered from its course and soon have gone on the rocks. Turn the page for a more intimate impression. P((f c 9
