Talking with her, we further learned that State and Federal reports require many more hours of work. She also teaches several classes of Latin. Miss Lamb has been a member ol' the Doylestown faculty for twenty-two years. ' Wie did not meet the members of the Board, for board meetings are held in the evening: but llliss Lamb informed us ol' the Board's activities for 1938, the most important of which may be summed up as follows: the painting ol' floors, walls, and desks: converting of the old Board room into an office for Nlr. Halderman, the supervising principal: employing of four new teachers: Bliss Hunt, Bliss Shearer, lllr. Raab, Klr. Jones: installing of a new hot-water system to enable sufficient flow of hot water for all gym students to take showers: and the buying ol' tive hundred towels, one for each individual after the shower. In addi- tion, the Board purchased the latest materials and equipment for class needs. 'lhe'l'0RCII 0191938 8

J. LEONARD HALDERM AN We Interview Supervising Trincipal Halderman S WE entered the supervising principal's office, we saw a very distinguished looking A man, sitting at his desk, busily engaged over school matters. As lVIr. Halderman 1 5 rose to welcome us, we were impressed by his immaculately groomed appearance. He very kindly consented to answer our questions about the Doylestown schools and asked us to sit down. We began our interview by asking hir. Halderman what he thought of the Doyles- town teachers and students. This was a rather frank question: yet, his countenance beamed with pride as he said, My teachers are all deserving of the highest praise for their loyalty and cooperation, and my pupils exemplify the highest type of manhood and womanhoodf' He further added that he was particularly pleased with the behavior of the seniors in Washington. In reply to the question: What part should parents take in school life, our supervisor's face became serious, as he answered, I feel it to be the duty of all parents to take a vital interest in school activities. Without their support and cooperation. the administration, Board of Education, and teachers can accomplish little. With understanding and coopera- tion of all, I can see in the near future a very fine new building, equipped with the latest facilities for all subjects, including the vocational field. 7 'The TORCH OF1938
