Jdwlffi- Many thanks should go to our hard-working faculty of this year. They have worked and worried a lot and have done a swell job. Perhaps Mr. Price, our principal, has worked the hardest because of his responsibility for the entire school. Miss Norma Kruger, his secretary, has helped him a lot and Miss Dorothy Linville Worked in the Superintendent's office. The vocal section of our music department was taken care of by Miss Rowena Rose. She had four glee club groups and a music appreciation cla ss besides her work as vocal music supervisor in the elementary schools. Our band director was Mr. Harold Smith and he did a fine job. Coach Samuel Blackwell taught all the boys' physical education classes and coached the three main sports. His assistant, Mr. Harold Hall, taught freshman social studies, economics, modern problems, and world history. He also coached baseball in the spring. Miss Harriet Tate, Miss Neva Sloan, and Miss Joan Sheeks taught English and speech. The curious men make new scientists, namely, Mr. Walter Dent and Mr. Dawn Neil, teach- ers of general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. Adios Senora! says Miss Lois Williams from the foreign language room. And no doubt they are happy to say, Farewel1! Mrs. Jeanne Tingley taught all of the girls' physical education classes. First semester she had classes of shorthand I, shorthand Il, typing, and office practice. When she took over Miss Doris Nicke1's position as dean of girls, she dropped the typing and office practice classes. The clean of boys was Mr. William Peters. He taught geometry, trigonometry, and general business. Freshman math, algebra, and business arithmetic were taught by Mr. Harry White. Mr. Donald Shawver taught bookkeeping, typing, and commercial law. He took the place of Mr. Henry Seaman, who taught commerce for a time after the resignation of Miss Nickel. The American history, American government, and journalism classes were directed by Mr. William Morton. Miss Jewell Bailey had charge of all the homemaking courses. F.F.A. and all the agriculture classes were taught by Mr. Joseph Berger. ln the quietest part of the building Miss Ulrey took care of the library. Four

Bound nf, ,f'du.catzbn. The Board of Education is the nucleus of our school organization. Its six mem- bers and Supt. Jeffries handle the basic administrative matters and determine our school policies. They must see that funds are appropriated for financing the school. With the cooperation of the superintendent and the principal, the Board is re- sponsible for the progress of the school. Matters concerning new buildings, equipment, and improvements are given to them for their consideration after which they may act as they deem best. - The Board of Education is composed of six members, two of whom are elected each year for terms of three years. In the spring meeting, the Board elects its ,officers for the year. Leonard Archer, Horace Clark, Arthur Craig, Fred Frommel, George Hill, and Maurice Rominger are the present members. An administrator, the superintendent of schools, is employed by the Board. Mr. Jeffries, who has retained this position for a number of years, is charged with the task of keeping the school system operating smoothly, keeping it supplied with equipment, and directing its policies. On recommendation of the superintendent, the Board em- ploys teachers to staff our classrooms. The Senior Class of '47 expresses its deepest appreciation to the Board mem- bers and Mr. Jeffries for their unflagging efforts in giving us an excellent education during our stay at Charleston High School.
