Academlcs ln the year 1958-59, the world's accent remained on education as another year of satellites rolled around. We tackled a broadened curriculum including psychology and a new system for sophomore and iunior English courses. Laboriously we engulfed ourselves in the works of Chaucer, the Pythagorean Theorem, H20, subiective complements, the sun's 93,000,000 miles from the earth and many other channels of study that cost us excessive hours and burned much of the midnight oil in our lamps. Themes, tests and daily recitations kept us busy along with our other regular duties. Hamburg dates were sparse as we met the challenge of semester exams. Fifteen more pages and l'll be all done, became a familiar saying. As long as we live we're sure to look back at our classrooms and Picture This -Academics in 1958-59.

r New uperintendent A new face in an old position and old faces in new positions would best summarize administrative ac- tivities this year. Mr. Fritz Jacobs was appointed superintendent of City Schools by the Board of Education in September. He succeeded Mr. E. I. Gephart, who resigned to become a teacher and counselor. Besides the newly-created counselor's iob, other administrative appointments included director of public relations, Miss Marie Kahne, board clerk, Mrs. Helen Mavko, and business manager, Mr. A. W. Lewis. Again directing high school activities was Principal , M. E. Rowley. COUNSELOR E. I. Gephart advises a student. GOOD MORNING, everyone . . . is how Principal M. E. Rowley greeted students and teachers every day when he read the bul- letin over the public address system.
