ADMINISTRATION MR. ROBB SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL ERE at his desk, is Dr. E. K. Robb, supervising principal of Bedford Public Schools, efficiently presiding over the numerous affairs and troubles that confront him in his work. The ever present ringing of the telephone bell, numerous in¬ dividuals waiting to see him, and the busy clicking of the secretary’s typewriter give a picture of the full and busy life the super¬ vising principal lives, daily transacting and supervising the business connected with the management of the Bedford schools. If he isn’t at his desk, you will probably find him in some class room or perhaps he is at the elementary school building, but where- ever you find him, you will find things hap¬ pening. Yet through it all he quietly and competently moves,—getting things done. Dr. Robb, by virtue of his experience as an executive, is thoroughly capable of guid¬ ing wisely and efficiently all the activities of the school. His intuitive understanding and his actual experience and observation concerning human nature makes him emi¬ nently qualified as an adviser in personal problems. The class of 1936, upon leaving Bedford High School, feels a deep sense of grati¬ tude and appreciation to its beloved friend and supervisor, Dr. E. K. Robb. PRINCIPAL ] AY we present Mr. E. A. Haga, prin- cipal of the Senior High School! Visit him with his English classes and you will hear him assisting students to appreciate the beauty of the masterpieces of Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats, or Shakespeare. Meet him in his office you may find him planning the technique to be used by the debate team he coaches, working on the Yearbook, or struggling with the school accounts. Perhaps he may have one or more students with him seeking advice on this, that, or the other thing. It is from this office that he dispenses those little pink slips to the delinquent for being tardy or absent. He has been heard to say that disciplinary trouble in his school is conspicuous by its absence. No wonder he always has a cheery smile and a friendly word for everyone! Here we see him at his desk signing some¬ thing. Perhaps it is a report to some parent concerning a pupil’s progress, or it may be the credentials of some graduate who is seeking admission to some higher in¬ stitution of learning. MR. HAGA Page Ten

EDFORD certainly is fortunate in hav¬ ing such a fine group of alert citizens to carry on the duties and responsi¬ bilities incurred with the running of the Public Schools of Bedford. The board has always been interested with current prob¬ lems which will aid in making the school system more efficient, and it has stood stead¬ fastly for any plans solely based upon the welfare of the school children of the com¬ munity. During the past fifteen years a number of improvements have been made in the administrative policies and physical equip¬ ment of the school system. A new high school building was opened in 1924 to re¬ lieve crowded conditions at the present ele¬ mentary school building, and in 1931 a new addition was built to the high school build¬ ing to make more room for the newly organ¬ ized Junior High School, which was growing very rapidly. Now it aids a great deal in sewing the various interests of the senior high school organization, resulting from the greater retentive power of the secondary school. In this new building are splendid BOARD OF EDUCATION facilities for class and especially laboratory work. As a result of this program voca¬ tional departments for agriculture and Home Economics were established for the first time in this section of the county. The students are now enjoying the bene¬ fits of a new auditorium-gymnasium unit. This new addition was made possible by a joint undertaking of our fine school board and the Federal Emergency Relief Associa¬ tion. It is capable of seating one thousand persons and it has splendid facilities for dra¬ matic and shop work, the agricultural unit and supply rooms. It procured for the school a dandy locker room equipped with modern showers. The seating facilities were made available by the aid of the public spirited citizens of the town, and for its duty, the school undertook the equipping of the stage. By the aid of the Public Works Administration the agricultural unit is now being improved by making available more room for shop work. Shortly after the new high school build¬ ing was erected the basic organization of the schools was changed from the 8-4 to the 6-3-3 plan, providing for Bedford the first accredited junior and senior high school organization. This year through the im¬ provements in both the physical and admin¬ istrative policies of our school made by our beard of education, our high school has been honored with a chapter of the National Hon¬ or Society.
