BOARD OF EDUCATION ln the hands of these six people lies the destiny of 650 students who are enrolled in DTHS. They hold regular monthly meetings to make the necessary changes and additions for the betterment of the school. The financial worries belong entirely to the Board. Because of the first- hand information given to them by their secretary, our superintendent, they can fully understand the needs of the student-body. lt is the responsibility of these directors to hire efficient teachers, arrange for the necessary repairs to the building and property, and see that the entire system is run smoothly.

u! M, R. C. Beals, Superintcnclcnt fn Suze Stevens Hotel, Chicago, Illinois, lvlarch 27, l94l, To the Kalibre: l have just listened to a discussion on school activities, a part ot the program of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, in which it was sought to evaluate the work that is being done in the schools all over the country. Opinions of students, parents, teachers, and post graduates were given and objections were discussed. The schools everywhere are interested in making activities as usef ful as possible to every boy and girl in the schools. It is interesting to note that in range and variety the activities at DTHS are on a par with those ot other progressive schools, and that the character and content of those activities are comparable with any. Our students are to be congratulated on their interest and successful participation in personality-building activities. R. C. BEALS, l i l Charlotte Myers Lctha Elliott Eva Almburg Page G
