Mr. Carr, our very busy but al- ways pleasant superintendent, dis- cusses a matter with Carol, Vivac- ity business manager—probably the all-important sources of revenue for the annual. His pleased expression is due, perhaps, to the wide public response to the observance of National Edu- cation Week in Cushing Schools, climaxed by High School Open House and the dedication of Cush- ing's new separate school, Booker T. Washington, on November 18, Iff I. Mr. Rush, our principal, chats with two C.H.S. students. Gene Pound and Paul Schnack. Visits to the office” are seldom embar- rassing situations but pleasant oc- casions as this picture proves. Obviously, no serious breach of etiquette is involved here. Our registrar. Miss Weaver. Graciousness and tolerance are her traits. But she is efficient and alert, qualities which make her rather difficult to handle at times. This picture illustrates only one of her many methods for finding out things. Yon isy he thoNlJ he in tchooi right now?

The Cushing Board ot Education DECAUSE a city cannot remain static, problems of school buildings, better facilities, additions and improve- ments can never be entirely solved. The Board of Education in 1945 outlined a ten year school improvement program which would provide a systematic program of building, redecoration, replacement, and repair. School buildings, more than any other type of structure, should be kept in first-class condition; there is no economy in any other program. The major projects in the school improvement program have been the erection of a new Booker T. Wash- ington School at a cost of $22 5,000, the replacing of the condemned Harrison Elementary School with a new modern fire-proof structure, and the installation of modern indirect lighting in all schools to replace, in many cases, one small light in each room. All schools have been completely redecorated in colors which blend and harmonize with each particular classroom. New seating has been provided in all primary classrooms and in many other school departments and rooms. New equipment has been purchased for the high school departments, which have been remodeled on up-to- date lines. These are a few of the many school improvements which the Board of Education has accomplished in the past few years. The coming years promise to show additional progress. Cushing’s schools are operated for the children. Money has been diverted from non-essentials and used to improve facilities, better teaching, and other direct services to children.
