HILDUR SODERMAN The commodious oflices in New Bloom require much more official responsibility, but Miss So- derman meets each new occasion with the quiet graciousness that has always characterized her. Now a familiar figure in her role as acting secre- tary to the principal, many hours are devoted to general supervision of all records, tabulating hon- ors, and giving necessary information to the teachers. M I-' STELLA LEACH What our ofHcial bookkeeper, Mr. Wilson, would do without his assistant, Stella Leach, cannot be conceived as we watch her at her desk keeping our financial house in order. Checking records of the treasurers of organizations, receipt- ing payments, writing checks, and balancing all monies handled during the year is a real job. HARRIET KRUSE The additional demands for announcements concerning the varied activities and the larger schedule adopted keep Harriet Kruse busy. While checking daily attendance and mimeographing daily bulletins is her chief duty, she willingly responds to special calls from the faculty. I3

WOODWARD L, E, YENTZER The Board of Education for the year 1933-34 consisted of the President, Mr. Adair, Secretary, Mr. Whitfield, Mr. Slugg, Mr. Mathews, and Mr. Poorman-men who some years ago visioned a new Bloom and whose constant hope and efforts centered in the completion of. the building. With the spring election, two vacancies were filled by Mr. H. E. Woodward and Mr. L. E. Yentzer. With such an able personnel of interested schoolmen, we feel that the many problems still facing Bloom will be met with foresight and wisdom. Our Zrifufe To the memory of Mr. William Mathews whose many years as a member of the Board of Education were marked by his constant devotion to the welfare of the students of Old Bloom and to meeting their growing needs in a glorious New Bloom, the 1934 Annual expresses the earnest regard of the student body and community: His was the joy of realizing - Fled is the dream, and working year by year We see our building rising, tier on tier. This is his wreath and his memoriallv I2
