SUPEBINTENDENT Two years ago Dr. H. H. Metcalf took over the duties of directing our school. In that time he has proved to be an excellent administrator and a helpful friend both of students and of faculty. Favorable first impressions have been lasting. Last summer the Board of Education, in keeping with the policies of schools in this area, conferred on him the title of superintendent. His clear understanding of the problems of youth has brought him in close Contact with the students, and we have benefited from his guidance and counsel. We owe to him a deep appreciation for his sincerity and understanding. Few of us realize the responsibilities that Dr. Metcalf has undertaken. His work takes much time and concentration. Whether it be during school hours or long after the dismissal bell has rung, he can be seen seated at his desk hard at work or going about the building on school business. As Bloom's representative he has put in much time cooperating in community affairs and through his friendliness and courtesy, his sincerity and integrity, has won the admiration and respect of the townspeople as well as that of the faculty and students. Under his competent management numerous new methods have been introduced. He has administered to his large family with thoughtfulness and consideration. A distinguished, handsome gentleman, whose cultured mien adds to the dignity Of the school, his trade-mark is the bow tie which he so often wears. QQ'
