Miss Frances Moor took the place of Mrs. Clarice West as music supervisor and Miss Marguerite Downing replaced Miss Swaim as head of the home economics work. The high school was changed to a homeroom basis shortly after the mid- year. In this system each student reports to his first period class when he comes to school in the morning and is not assigned a seat in the assembly hall except during study periods. Books and possessions are kept in lockers. This change was effected because the school had become too large for the daily pre-school exercise period of the old days. A general convocation is held bi-weekly and special assemblies or programs are called from time to time. Page 13

B. O. Snepp H. L. McKenney SCHOOL BOARD Auburn High School is exceptionally fortunate in the choice of members of its School Board. The four men on the board represent every quality — moral, physical, financial and educational knowledge — needed for guidance, supervision and administration of school affairs. Mr. D. M. Link, who is president of the group, has had years of experience as an attorney and served as judge in the DeKalb circuit court for several terms. His knowledge of law has been a great assistance in the decisions of the board. Dr. A. V. Hines, who is a graduate of Auburn High School and a well known surgeon and physician, is well qualified to advise in all matters con- cerning health. He acts as treasurer of the board and is a loyal sports enthusiast. Mr. B. O. Snepp, secretary of the board, has been an executive of the Au- burn Automobile Company for several years and his experience in this po- sition makes him an excellent man to advise in financial matters. He is also a booster of the school athletic activities. From an educational standpoint, Mr. H. L. McKenney, the executive officer, offers great assistance to the board. He has had extensive training, has been superintendent of Auburn Schools for thirteen years and is well informed in all educational matters. Mr. McKenney is well liked by students and teachers. All recognize him as an exponent of fair play and efficiency. The city council appoints the board and then the members appoint the superintendent of the schools as their executive officer. The ' group must make up the budget for the Auburn schools and regulate the institutions in accordance with the laws of the state. As in past years, the group has done an excellent job in all phases of its work. The entire thirty-six week school term was made possible and in spite of a limited budget an extensive program of studies was provided. The students and faculty of the high school deeply appreciate and sin- cerely respect the School Board for its excellent judgment and fine guidance of school activities throughout the year. Page 12

ADMINISTRATION Daily announcements are made in the homerooms, a mimeographed sheet is given to teachers each morning. Instruction or guidance in social and school procedures is made through the homeroom, too. In the past this information was given Freshmen in the Freshmen rooms. Now the guidance sheets are made applicable to each class. The school band has increased by bounds. This year the combined band- orchestra developed into a ninety-six piece organization and this meant an in- crease in the instruction of the group. The boys ' chorus increased in size this year also. A boys ' quartet was organized for the first time. More visual instruction was done this year than previously. The high school Parent-Teacher Association purchased a 16mm. motion picture pro- jector for high school use. This was financed by P.-T. A. money plus funds donated by classes of past years who had money left from their school days. All the classes which graduated during the past dozen years turned over their bank balances. Mrs. Clarence McClintock was president of the P-T. A. this year. Mrs. B. O. Snepp was treasurer and Mrs. Harry Kreamelmeyer, secretary. FACULTY SOCIAL SCIENCE AND FINE ARTS MR. FRANK WEATHERS A.
