Walling, Chief Clerk The administration of Et school system of the size of l:tockford's is no easy task. That our schools are managed so efficiently is because of the high caliber of our Board of Education, our Superintendent of Schools, and our Principals. The vast amount of time and labor which every member of the Board has given to the problems of the schools is evidence of his public mindedness and his in- terest in education and the welfare of the young people of Rockford. This year must have been an unusually hard one. The Board has had not only the usual problems connected with the financing of the schools, selecting the teachers, and determining the policies of instruction, but has had the additional task of building and of opening three beautiful new buildings, the East and West Sen- ior Highs and the Washington lunior High School. These buildings will long be monuments to the fine work of the present Board of Education. Mr. Selmer l-l. Berg has been our Superintendent of Schools for four years. He is admired and respected by everyone as an administrator and friend.
