KETLER SUPEHINTENIJENT The heart of the Cheltenham school system is the School Board. Elected by the people of t-he township, the School Board is the base of the entire educaf tional system that it is the privilege of every C.H.S. student to enjoy. But the School Board, as compact as it is, must work through an even more compact unit. That unit is Dr. Franklin C. Ketler, super' intendent of Cheltenham schools. Dr. Ketler, whose genial smile can be seen in the halls of C.H.S. almost any day, took the reins at Cheltenham in 1932. Born and raised in western Pennsylvania, he attended Grove City College and then majored in School administration at the Teachers' School of Columbia University. His Master's and Doctor's degrees were earned at Columbia. He also taught several years prior to coming here. He meets with the Board at least once a month to decide on the budget, new courses, new textbooks, the hiring of employees, etc.

A IIHEITENHAM EDUCATIUN The youth of Cheltenham Township have indeed been fortunate in having the opportunity to go to school under the Cheltenham educational system. The foundation of Cheltenham's educational theory has been better studentfteacher relationship. To this end, the Cheltenham high school program has worked steadily and successfully. No longer is the youth merely being run through an educating machine and thrown out into the world. Mass production in the education line is not an assembly line process. Under the tireless efforts of Doctor Ira R. Kraybill, Miss Margaret MacDonald, who left the school in the spring of '41, Miss Lois M. Gould, and all members of the faculty, the best in each student has been carefully developed. In CHS. the students have been treated as indi- viduals. Individual records are closely kept throughf out the pupil's years in school. Every interest, talent, working habit, hobby, ambition of the student has been considered and worked on for better results. Each homeroom is a unit where the students work together during their three vears. Homework is arf ranged so that each student will have two hours a night. This is accomplished by a home study night schedule. Many teachers teach the same classes for three years, thereby giving them a better chance to develop the best in each of the students. Besides these advantages, MR. HOWARD W. FIELDS. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL the students have been kept interested in the school by a large extrafcurricular program. This extrafcurricular program embodies student government, student newspaper, student assemblies, and student dances. A large club program is available fp. 40J, and a line library is always ready to be used for refer' ence work or reading for enjoyment. Many years of work and experimentation have been needed to come as far as Cheltenham has come, but the results have been worth the effort. Studentfteacher relationships are exceptionally fine. Initiative in individual pupils is developed to a high degree and they handle responsibilities dependably. Academic students find that a diploma from their Alma Mater is rated highly by the colleges and universities of the nation. Commercial students find that the training that they have received in CHS has made it comparaf tively easy for them to procure and hold employment. Industrial education students iind that the future is not dark and gloomy, but bright and shining. CHS graduates have been better, more understand' ing citizens. Progressive education at Cheltenham has come a long way, still has a long way to go, but the goal is in sight and a Cheltenham education is one to be respected and proud ofg one to look back upon in the later years with gratitude.
