McKee, Mrs. Clyde Swinburne, and Mrs. Olive Zimmer. They were ably assisted by the entire faculty and student body under an organization of efllcient Home Room Mothers. Starting with a membership of 47 for the school year 1933-34, this membership reached an all-time goal with approxi- mately 1,000 members in 1936-37. Raising money for the Student Welfare Fund was a major concern of the mem- bers. Some outstanding programs have been Back to School night for parents: panel discussions on youth problemsl Know Your School, and other programs built around the topic, Vocational and Educational Plans.

This page is affectionately dedicated to Mr. J. Henry Francis, who first came to Charleston High School in the spring of 1903, when Mr. George S. Laidley, then principal, asked him to supervise the singing for commencement. From that time until 1936, when he became county supervisor of music, Mr. Francis had charge of the music in the high school. He founded the orchestra, the chorus, the band, and the organizations that grew out of them. Through Mr. Francis' leadership and foresight, Charleston High School has done. for many years, fine work in music. He not only did admirable work in Charleston, but has been a fine iniiuence in the whole state. He was instrumental in the formation of the All-State Chorus and the All-State Orchestra, and as a result of his efforts the Band Festival and All-State Orchestra meet are being held each year. Charleston High School is indebted to Mr. Francis for making its music depart- ment one of the finest in the state. The staff takes this opportunity to express the appreciation of the entire school.
