Mr. Glasser Mr. Norman L. Glasser has been our superintend- ant now for twenty-three years. In these years he lias guided the schools through troubled and uncertain times: the feverish years before the crash of ’29, the dark days of the depression, the uneasy days of rearm- ament, the darker days of World War 11, and the atom- haunted days since victory. It has always been Mr. Glasser’s guiding princi- ple that “since free education was established in our country for all children on the grounds of its value to society and of its necessity for the preservation and functioning of our democratic form of government, our chief aim must always be to help in every way possible all the children of our schools to acquire the knowl- edge, skill, attitude, and disposition needed to enable them to become capable, responsible, and cooperative citizens.” An important position in the school is occupied by Miss Ruth Walton. She is our superintendent’s secre- tary. Previous to the job she has now, she was Mr. Lee’s secretary. When Miss Shively left Carnegie High School, Miss Walton stepped into her place, and Miss Boehmer took Miss Walton’s job. We do not see as much of Miss Walton now, but when we do, she always has a cheerful “Hello” to greet everyone with. 8 Miss Walton

While Mr. Glasser is connected with all four of our public schools in Carnegie, Mr. Lee’s duty is con- fined to our high school. He has the personal super- vision of the high school teachers. As a principal he has many problems to take care of. Some of them pertain to the high school records. He has on permanent file the complete scholastic rec- ord of every student who has passed through the doors of Carnegie High School. This file has been of great value to the government and rnanv colleges and uni- versities. It has helped many employers also. Mr. Lee has the job of seeing that discipline is maintained in the school. We may think this is an easy job. but I think we might find Mr. Lee has a dif- ferent viewpoint on this subject. Another important duty Mr. Lee has is making up the schedules for our classes and examinations. We all know Mr. Lee as not onlv a verv exact and prompt person himself, but one who demands the same of others. To our knowledge, there has never been anyone who has sneaked in late without being caught. As a result of this, our school has the lowest tardy record that we know of. Mr. Lee Miss Boehmer, better known to us all as Virginia, has been Mr. Lee’s secretary for two years now. Since Virginia was a graduate of Carnegie High School, she had an advantage over most secretaries. She did not have to learn about the rides and regulations of the school, as she was alreadv acquainted with them. This helped both her and Mr. Lee a great deal. Most of the students of the school regard Virginia as one of the school girls. The boys make up a good percentage of these students. They must, from the whistles heard when she comes into fifth period geometry class. Miss Boehmer
