Administration . . . . Mr. Elmer M. Gruver, B. S., M. Ed. Gettysburg College Temple University Supervising Principal Mr. Gruver just got back with the mail. Oops, I beg your pardon. He just left to make his rounds to the district schools. I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see him! You may not even see him tomorrow. He’s so busy! With magazine campaign re- sults, individual pictures, and progress tests to check over, he may be busy all day. No, I’m afraid he’ll be busy this dinner, too. He’s meeting with several students to dis- cuss our new curtains. Tomorrow, at noon, he’s meeting with another group to plan for the paving of the parking area. I don’t think it would be profitable for you to contact him in the evening because he has to make personal appearances at all school and educational activities. Perhaps I can make an appointment for you for next week. Is that all right? You’ll have to wait. He IS a very busy man! Mr. Gruver and Mr. Hash talk it over” . . . Page 10

Have you ever wondered what is responsible for the behind the scenes organiza- tion here at our high school? What is the most essential thing to our well-being? Well, it’s the school board, if you haven’t already guessed. In 1948, five representatives from each district of East Berlin, Paradise, Abbotts- town, Reading, and Conewago Independent met as the first meeting of the Conewago Jointure. Every year since then, the board has been active for the betterment of the school. Thanks to them, we are honored with a fine faculty and better instruction. Through their united effort, school property, supply materials, and adequate educational facili- ties for the future have been obtained and are secure. The school board acts as a guide to the student body on any problems which may arise. This year it is responsible for many school improvements. Among these are the painting of the locker rooms, the Home Economics room, and also rooms 5 and 25. In addition to this, members have made the one main office into three individual offices. As an outdoor project, our bare athletic field is being changed to a large green patch, surrounded by a newly cindered track. If the addition of the Driver Education Course is not the board’s most important project, it ranks among the highest. It is just another way of teaching young America safety. We regret to say that on January 13, the board’s faithful vice-president and mem- ber for 24 years, Mr. Paul Lerew, passed away. Page 9

♦ ♦ . . Administration Mr. Charles W. Hash, B. S., M. Ed. Millcrsville State Teachers College Pennsylvania State College Principal Mrs. Baker, secretary, and Mrs. Myers, assistant, handle a multitude of duties . . . Well, that’s the last bus. Now a little busi- ness to clear up and then I can go home and rest,” sighs Mr. Hash after another long day. You see, he’s at school from the time the first bus comes until the last bus leaves! What does he do?” Now that’s a pretty silly question. Why, who else provides the stepping stones for the students? Mr. Hash not only does this but, also, renders his time, help, and co-operation for all those who need it. He even has a paddle to keep the under- classmen straight! These are all his responsibilities, and he has many more. Among these are aiding in school projects, working with student groups, teaching several classes, and handling all varieties of problems which arise. He also has a large responsibility in the athletic depart- ment and is usually present at every game. All this, and more, Mr. Hash supervises. Now-, don’t you think he deserves a rest? Yes, I knew you would agree with me. So long until tomorrow, Mr. Hash.” Page 11
