EDWIN E. PRIBLE, Superintendent, A.B. Manchester, M.S. In¬ diana University. Mr. Prible has served Bluffton students in this position for seven years. Last year his job was ex¬ panded when he became responsible for the Bluffton-Harrison Metropolitan School System. BHS students realize his con¬ cern for our education, shown by his attendance in classes and at school functions. FRED F. PARK, Principal, A.B. Ball State Teachers College, M.S. Indiana University. Our principal takes a personal in¬ terest in each student and is always ready to give aid to those who need it. In his highly demanding position of leadership, his executive ability is obvious in the careful planning which makes all school functions—class work, social affairs, sports events, and convocation programs—move so smoothly. ADMINISTRATION . . . SCHOOL BOARD-DR. WILLIAM GITLIN, treasurer; CRAVEN EMSHWILLER, president; and CHARLES WETERICK, secretary. During the first full year of the new Bluffton-Harri¬ son Metropolitan School System, the school board has worked hard trying to adapt sug¬ gestions made by a professional survey team from Purdue University. Plans call for en¬ larging the physical facilities, providing a school lunch program, and adding strength to certain departments in the high school. These changes may present interesting new experi¬ ences to students already enrolled here. On March 23 the school and community were saddened by the death of Mr. Emshiller, president of the School Board. 6
