MR. OTTO HUGHES, Superintendent Members of the 1943 graduating class of Columbus High school, the pages of this year ' s annual will hold for you many cherished memo¬ ries. These memories will become the more val¬ uable to you as the years go by. Many of you graduates will soon be sent to the four comers of the earth. Already a few have answered the call to the colors. You, to¬ gether with many other graduates of Columbus High School, will be called upon to defend with honor the basic ideals of our democracy. Those who remain on the home front will be called upon to make many sacrifices. May each one of you willingly dedicate yourself to the task of bringing this terrible war to a speedy and victorious end. This alone will guarantee a last¬ ing peace. As Administration Leaders In C. H. S. MR. MAURICE STAPLEY, Principal Because they have already been successful, I expect continued success from the members of this year ' s graduating class. The same quali¬ ties—initiative, co-operation, eagerness to work, and native ability—which have made their high school record good, forecast future individual records of which Columbus High School will be proud.

Every school seems to have a faculty. Ours is no exce ption. Are they just a necessary evil? It is true that they sometimes place us in a situation similar to the one Squeaky is in above, but who is responsible? We are, of course. Really we have a swell group of teachers. We sincerely appreciate their instruction and guidance. FAC U LT Y l‘a I O twenty-three

They Perform Many Duties The majority of the students are unaware of the fact that the schoolboard is the governing body of our city school system. How are the members selected? The city council appoints them on their own merit. They are all men who are successful in their own field of business. As a result all school affairs are handled in a most efficient manner. Each of the three members serves for a period of three years. Their appointments have been so arranged that only one member retires each year and a new one is appointed to fill the vacancy. Perhaps you would like to have an idea of some of the things these gentlemen do. They have much bearing on our life as students of C. H. S. Theirs is the task of selecting our superintendent, principal, and teachers, all of whom play an important part in molding our character. Also they see that our school buildings, equipment, and other property are kept in good condition. The present schoolboard is composed of Mr. Ed Voelz, president; Mr. Carl Hofmeister, treasurer; and Mr. Roy Graham, secretary. M A Page twenty-five
