1947 PAGEFOUR THE INDIAN The lndian - 1947 O Edited by - - Martha Milligan Staffed by - - John Whitehead, Marian Greene, Douglas Seymour, Carol Saxton, Willa Mary Hewes, Howard Hartzell, Alice Gray. Advisor - Mr. Robert Rowland Drawings by - Stephen Kovach FOREWORD . . Many times this year we have thought that we lust wanted to give up the entire idea of having a yearbook, but the feeling that kept us at work was that it we were to admit defeat, many ot the Senior classes which will follow us would also teel that editing such a book would be too hard a task to undertake and would also not have a yearbook. This feeling would prevail until another person similar to David Rodwell would inject into a Senior class the desire to edit a yearbook, as Dave did last year. VVe have enlarged the Indian by several pages and have changed another one. Three more group pictures are included and instead ot having a page with a few facts about the Seniors, we have a page ot pictures ot some ot the Seniors when they were babies or young children. Included among these pictures is one ol a group of Seniors. We hope that the following Senior classes will enlarge and improve the Indian even more, until it is one ot the best yecirbooks in this area. For this process of gradual improvement is the way most good things come about, not suddenly.

1947 PAGESIX THE INDIAN Rothra, treasurer. The eight new members of the faculty were introduced and their departments announced. They were, Miss Marguerite Smith, Languages, Miss Mary Jane Hancock, Business, Mr. Robert Rowland, Social Studies, Miss Virginia Rothra, Eighth Grade, Mrs. Juanita Burnham, Kindergarten, Mrs. Marie Fox, Music, Miss Elizabeth Litchfield, Home Economics, Miss Julia Sundholm, Office Secretary. Heading the Faculty Improvement Committee was Mrs. Dora Hall. The other mem- bers of this committee were Mr. John Turner, Mr. Robert Rowland, Miss Enid White, Mr. Burdell Cotten. Miss Helen Gregg was chairman of the Social Committee, the members of which were Miss Marguerite Smith, Mr. Allen Rice, Mr. Norman Becker, and Mrs. Juanita Burnham. The Visual Aids Committee plans the moving pictures for the year ahead. The initiation party was held at the Golf Club. The faculty sent a gift to Miss Anna Smith when she retired. Mr. Ernest Cowles was also presented with a gift when he left on a leave of absence this year. A party was also held in his honor. Mr. Albert Ball replaced him as seventh grade and high school algebra teacher. When presenting gifts to departing teachers, the members of the faculty take into consideration the number of years of service of the teacher who is leaving. A maple sugar party was planned for early in the year, but had to be abandoned. The Faculty Improvement Committee held several meetings during the year. At the first meeting they were told about the equipment the school has and how to use it. At a later meeting they discussed giving tests, determining the results, and how to use them. The use of folders for the pupils of the grades was explained. Each student has a folder, in which teachers' comments are recorded. This folder is passed from one teacher to another as the student goes into a higher grade. This system leads to the character traits in high school. At the end of the year a party was held by the faculty. At this time remembrances were given to those teachers who were leaving. ,LM J,..fQ1.e.gq fm W Q 1 Ill lll I Dj-,nl I E . if ll 'I IH- ,. ,J iff' - -R I 1 , A 2 iid' ,A W I 'fi A ll -,.
