The cause of education F' Q T NORMAN A. LAUB, B.S., M.A. Principal One oT The mosT ardenT champions of our school and iTs youThTul populaTion is Mr. Laub. Unceasingly he labors To make a good school beTTer. WhaTever he does is predicaTed upon a TaiTh in The school so sTeadTasT and enThusiasTic ThaT iT is impos- sible To conceal. A long-range program OT curriculum improvemenT, The inspecTion oT a Tire drill, or The hearing of a sTudenT problem, no maTTer how menial: all receive The same painsTalcing aTTenTion. When The lighTs go ouT in his oTTice, he carries a good porTion of his cares along home in his ever- presenT, bulging briefcase. And, no maTTer whaT The acTiviTy, if iT involves The school, sTudenTs. or boTh, he can always be de- pended upon To be There. EDWIN J. BER6, A.B. AssisTanT To The Principal Sharing Mr. Laub's deep-seaTed TaiTh in The school and anoTher of our sTaunch ad- vocaTes is Mr. Berg. His smiling counTe- nance and genial personaliTy we will never be able To TorgeT any more Than The cheery greeTings he gives us every morning over The inTercom - noT To menTion The classic gems of wisdom he prosaically dubs The ThoughT Tor The Day. AlThough consTanTly beseT by mulTiTudinous duTies and responsi- biliTies, he is never Too busy To hear our problems. His years in The classroom have given Mr. Berg a Thorough undersTanding oT youTh and an unshalcable confidence in The sTudenT oT Today. l-lere is anoTher in- dividual whose hours are noT long enough and whose days are Too shorT.
