Squeaky Meets With The Faculty Squeaky attends a faculty meeting and sees the teachers industriously working on problems that face them and the school. From the extremely attentive expressions on their faces he can tell that the discussion is very important and interesting. In a very short time the effect of this faculty meeting will be felt by the student body, for at meetings such as this decisions affecting the entire school are made. At this meeting, Squeaky learns that the faculty isn ' t a bunch of stuffed shirts , but that they are real down-to-earth human beings who are ready and willing to help any student.

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

And Chats With The Deans Our Dean of Girls, Miss Beatrice Crowe, and our Dean of Boys, Mr. J. Ray Ross, have had a very busy year. With so many families moving in and out of Columbus this year, the deans have been kept busy adjusting the new students to the high school. Fixing their schedules, acquainting students with the faculty, other students, and customs of Columbus High School, and interesting them in extra-curricular work are a few of the many tasks of our deans. Not all their time is given to helping new students, however. Old as well as new pupils need help and re-adjustment. Miss Crowe and Mr. Ross spend many hours finding out the cause of a pupil ' s poor or failing grade, and, once the cause is found, they do everything in their power to correct the difficulty. This year there has been a greater demand than ever for students to work after school and on Saturdays, and Miss Crowe and Mr. Ross try to place boys and girls, who they think are qualified, in those positions. Our deans are always ready to aid any student who feels the need of help— whether it is for school work or any personal problem. They help to keep the school running smoothly, and the whole student body is indebted to them. Besides their work as deans, they have other responsibilities in the school. Miss Crowe, as a commercial teacher, prepares students for work in offices. Because of the urgency of the need for stenographers, Miss Crowe has been spending extra time in preparing her pupils for jobs. Mr. Ross holds special classes for the students of C. H. S. At times it is hard to adjust pupils to classes, either because of their great ability or because of their inability to learn. In the classes of Mr. Ross students are allowed to progress as fast as their ability allows them. Many students have Mr. Ross to thank for help¬ ing them over the bumpy road of learning.
