SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL B.S., M.A., M.S. Ursinus College Clark University University of Pennsylvania eduaczzfianczi ,bafdcdee , , , Since the Perkiomen Ioint School System is constantly growing, carrying out the policies established by the School Board in accordance with state regulations is an ever more time-consuming and exacting task for Mr. Krug, the Supervising Princi- pal. His many and varied duties include purchasing equipment and supplies, inter- viewing prospective teachers, coordinating the Work of three schools, and initiating plans to improve the educational program. Because of the opening of the new elemen- tary building, this year was a particularly busy one for him. Despite his many conferences, reports, telephone calls, and unscheduled interrup- tions, Mr. Krug has always found time to spend with his family, to enjoy his hobby, music, and to participate actively in the Rotary Club, the church, where he is a member of the choir, and many other com- munity organizations. keep the office of the Supervising Principal functioning ADA W. BARDSLEY smoothly. LOUIS A. KRUG TO THE CLASS OF 1959: Your future is now! Your studies in school prepared you for citizenship, employment, and physical, mental, and cultural activi- ties. Now you practice them independent of school supervision. You can bring honor to yourself and your school by continuing to learn, accepting responsibility, doing honest work, maintaining a good reputa- tion, and making your own contribution to human progress and welfare. You will look at this fine book with pride as you apply the ideals and teachings of your school. The best wishes of Board, Faculty and Administration go with each of you for a good and Godly life. Louis A. Krug Supervising Principal ADA W. BARDSLEY Mrs. Bardsley's friendliness has been greatly missed at the High School since last fall when her office was moved to the new elementary building.

ffzf Sli! as 11 fs 22 GOMER R. EDWARDS TO THE CLASS OF 1959: As long ago as several thousand years, the world had men who berated youth for their moral decline, for their decadence in general. Today too, these men exist. In contrast, there are those today who champion youth and speak of their achieve- ments, of their many fine qualities. Those of us who have Worked with you hold the latter view. May you, through the recognition of the dependence upon a Power greater than yourselves, continue to vindicate our belief in the moral stability, in the great potential of today's youth. ISABEL E. GRI-XTER When a pupil needs a friend , he applies to Mr. Ed- ward's secretary Mrs. Grater, the traditional information- dispenser, kleenex-provider, and excuse card-maker-outer for the High School. Constant interruptions do not keep her from running the principal's office with polished efficiency. She also assists the teachers in many ways, for example, by handling the ubiquitous requisition slips.

Mr. Edwards' major responsibility as principal is to insure that the entire school functions smoothly. Not only does he solve the many unexpected problems that arise each day, but he also assigns rooms for classes and study halls, an increasingly difficult task as the school grows, sched- ules all extra-curricular events so that no conflicts occur, and compiles the master schedule which coordinates the hour-by- hour program of every pupil and teacher. Through his initiative the National Honor Society has recently granted us a charter, and a chapter will be installed this year. Perhaps more important to the school, how- ever, than his routine duties are his friendly counseling and guidance of students. Mr. Edwards enjoys golf and is active in his church and in the Rotary Club. ISABEL E. GRATER
