The Board's duties include: hiring bus drivers and teach- ers, keeping our schools supplied with up-to-date educational and social facilities, and supplying reasonable needs of our students and faculty. To keep taxes low, they carry on their activities with a view toward getting the best results at the lowest prices. Plans for this year include erection of a modern school building at Brenizer.

Super iAivn MR. KURTZ'S SECRETARIES Carrying top honors in the Commer- cial Department are two attractive, busi- ness-like personalities, Virginia Dotter- way and Nira Curnow. At the end of their junior year they were assigned to the office as Mr. Kurtz's secretaries. These girls can be found in the office in any of their free periods capably taking letters, typing transcripts, or keeping the files in alphabetical order. These are only a few of the numerous tasks they perform daily besides being very helpful to both students and teach- ers who are in need of information or materials. Witli the cooperation and efficiency they have shown, these girls should ob- tain top-notch jobs after graduation. 00 MR. KURTZ PRINCIPAL Admired and respected by the stu- dents and members of our faculty, Mr. Kurtz proves a capable advisor during our educational years at Derry Town- ship. Undoubtedly a busy person, he never refuses to lend a helping hand to any of us, and listens untiringly to our many troubles. Although quite a disciplinarian de- manding cooperation, respect, and obedience, Mr. Kurtz is of a rather jovial nature and enjoys our many social func- tions throughout the year. He can always be seen, mixing in with the stu- dents, at all our dances, athletic events, and plays. He is also an avid sports- man and likes nothing better than to spend a day hunting or fishing.
