Miss Norma Jean West, Mr. Murray's secretary, is the efficient and business-like force of the superintend- ent's office. No less capable are her assistants, Gladys Hooks and Marian Maughmer. The schools are indeed fortunate to have this capable working staff. 'IBD PRINCIPAUS OFFICE A beehive of activity is the princi- pal's office presided over by Miss Mar- jorie Swartz.

C M B0 RD OF ED C T10 RAY BRANDENBURG, President T. H. BUSH, Vice-President OTHOL O. WADE, Clerk HARRY WOOD H. CONDON CAMPBELL Another school year is drawing to a close and another large group of our fine boys and girls are passing one of the most important milestones in their lives. They are taking with them something they will treasure more and more as they become older-the fine associations, the wonderful friendships, and the good fellowship acquired during their high school days. May we, as American citizens, and especially during these hectic days of war, never lose sight of the fact that our public schools are one of the main corner-stones in the foundation for good citizenship. RAY BRANDENBURG, President, Board of Education.
