Peter Pioneer speaks: Yes, Mctndy, I visited the school today. You can't imagine the difference and improvements. First I entered the front door as a loud bell of some kind rang. Children were rushing about with their arms full of books. However, in a few minutes, the halls were clear. Not knowing what to do or where to go, I went into the first door I came to. It happened to be the superintendent's office. Mr. Lehman and I talked for a while. He told me that this was his first year in this school and he remarked that he is very well pleased with the cooperation of the faculty and student body. This is what he said: First I wish to extend greetings and words of commendation for the cooperative work shown in the publication of this annual, t is only a specimen of the splendid loyalty, cooperation and willingness which constitutes the program of education in Broken Bow High School. May pupils ever feel that instructors, the principal, and above all the superintendent who has been privileged to work among you this one year, are vitally and keenly interested in every phase of your school activity in the hope that through this process of education, you may be directed into ways of thinking, doing and living that will bring a richer, fuller and tnore abundant happiness of life. It is well for the students to learn to make wise judgments pertaining to the complex life problems, and in these matters they should cultivate more sincerely the counsel of the members of the faculty who have learned through many arduous hours and tasks those things of life which can never be gleaned from pages of books. I am well pleased with the general decorum, the respect and responsibility of the students of the Broken Bow High School. Shall we, as a teacher-student community, strive to build a better school as shown in the examples of life sent into this and other communities? Mr. Lehman explained to me the functions of the school, enrollment, and other things of importance. The enrollment in September was 162 girls and 153 boys, making a total of 315. There was a teachers' meeting, and Mr. Lehman suggested that I attend it with him. I met all the teachers and there sure is a lot of them. Do you know that they don't keep one paddle in the school?
