In this position of honor rides the St. Joseph Board of Education, the men and women whose foresight, good management, and consistent effort in our behalf have served as an incentive for us to do our best, too. MR. GEORGE L. BLACKWELL Superintendent of Schools Who will act as marshall of the Big Pa- rade? Superintendent Blackwell, of course. Here he comes, a gallant Good Joe mounted on a prancing palomino, keeping everything and everybody lined up to the best advantage. In his efficient manner he directs the show, placing the units of our city’s educational pa- rade in the position they can occupy most ef- fectively, sets the lines moving, signals the band, gets us off to a good start and keeps us going at a lively tempo.

CHEERS! THE HOME FOLKS After we’ve seen and applauded the pro- moters, we begin to look for those we know more intimately. Here they come. Mr. Daf- fron and his car mates, Mr. Bowen and Miss Wilson, will receive a hearty, even vociferous welcome as they move by the crowds on the curb. For they represent our own, very per- sonal contribution to the parade. We know how they have worked to make our participa- tion notable, to afford us the opportunity to make a showing in which we can take hon- est pride. All together now, three big cheers. W. 1,. DAMRON, B. S.; A. M. Principal Look they’re smiling. Every- thing must be go- ing as they hoped it would. So, fall in, every body, we're on the move. LOWELL K. BOWEN Vice-Principal G. MARION WILSON Advisor to Girls (three)
