The Administratioi DR. HOWARD THOMPSON SUPERINTENDENT Dr. Howard Thompson ' s second year as the city schools ' chief ad- ministrator has meant a broadening of the curriculum for the senior high school. For those not anticipating a college education, the high school program has been redirected; empha- sis has been placed on business and industrial training. At the same time, the college preparatory program has been enriched. New courses such as personal typing, chorus, mechanical drawing, and Industrial Co-operative Training are indicative of this expan- sion. Miss May Marshbanks carries the sole administrative responsibility for the school. Before school in the fall, she arranges the schedules for the stu- dent body of over 550, and during the year, she co-ordinates school activities. Miss Marshbanks, previously a teacher herself, is especially noted for the good faculty relations she maintains. MISS MAY MARSHBANKS PRINCIPAL
