Sorbn THE SCHOOL BOARD The wheel of . . . education . . . spins . . . round and round it goes . . and where it stops . . is a matter for the school board, The public-minded group of men who give so generously of their time and ability are, in reality, the power behind the throne. No decision is too trivial as not to merit their conscientious consideration. From taxes to algebra texts . . . all are discussed with an eye to the educa- tional and recreational betterment of the student. To these men who have guided us from the elements of kindergarten to the adulthood of seniors, we students owe a profound debt of gratitude.

MAN of a thousand detailed duties . . . yet a friendly counselor to the daily scores that ask his :iid and attention . . . such is the vignette of the man who occupies the Su- perintendenfs administra- tive chair . . . lVlr. Schroe- der . . . A Central High School product . . . very much our own representa- tivc in the field of Educa- Iiiizm' II. Svlzrzmfilvzirr. Sfp,-'iff t',f1 I f'ff t limi: fi. 'I'i1mii'soN, I' ,','ff ff',,ffl tion. . . . We willingly ac- cept his leadership . . . we relish his friendly response to our problems . . . we mark him among our illustrious alumni-LEADER and FRiEND. An enthusiasm for sports, an understanding of student affairs, a keen wit, a forceful character, and an active interest in administrative work have, in no small measure, aided L. G. Thompson, Centrafs new principal, in dissolving the frigid wall of formality so often evidenced between a new faculty mem- ber and the students. Recruited from Mandan in l934 to succeed P. H. Lehman, retiring principal, Mr. Thompson very soon had accustomed himself to the duties of his predecessor and, in addition, instituted several well- received, new pedagogical practices. We all recognize the fact that the position of principal is not an easy one to fill, and that our principal is a man of exceptional ability whom we hope will have a long and happy stay in Central. ' Sometimes to the educational novitiate, first entering the splendid halls of Central, the office force seems simply a few young ladies far too busy with tapping typewriters . . . but, after a few weeks or months, their abilities become most truly known and recognized: a myriad of marks, report cards, rec- ords, and invoices . . . the intricacies of the demon daily attendance . . . plus the innumer- able calls for information, for complaint, for the lost and the found . . . these are the fact and fancy of the daily grind in the office-force job. But they seem to come up smiling . . . so do Alice Evans and Hazel Hansen, Mr. Thomp- son's immediate helpers: does Helen Svehla, Mr. Il.-xzizi, H.u::1i:x NI.xm11,iNi-: Kxrisox Hi:i.r:N Svi:1i1.A Ai.1c'E Iivixxs Schroedefs efficient secre- tary: and so does Made- line Knutson, Dr. Cross- manis office assistant . . . for each is an important cog in our vast high school learning-and-teaching ma- chine.
