, 1 JC 6 a) L a is ' te A LOLLEA ASSISTANT. PRINCIPAL Miss Jackson and Mr. Andetson R. ANDERSON, as assistant principal of our school and supervisor of the first six grades, has numerous duties and responsibilities. With the assistance of his very efficient secretary, Miss Jackson, he takescharge of the attendance re- cords, the approving of excuses, the granting of passes, and the keeping of registers. Another of his numerous duties is the supervision of the school bus system: the daily buses, the buses for games, the buses for field trips, and special buses for the annual picnics sponsored by every class every year.

Many people throughout the world are either turning to Communism or becoming very reactionary and intolerant of any way of life that does not exactly coincide with theirs. There are too few people who are standing up for the principles of truth, integrity and justice toward all mankind. Herein lies a challenge that would have called forth all the daring the bravest knight could have mustered.

BOARD OF EDUCATION ? i HE unselfish, voluntary services of the Board of 2 Education make our school the smoothly function- a a So ing organization it is. This group of individuals is responsible for the many advantages we are able to enjoy. Through them we are provided with the most capable teachers and staff, the finest books, and es- sential modern equipment, Their generosity and their interest in our welfare have enabled us to have social hours, assemblies, spectator buses to the games, and our own student government. In providing for us the best means of obtaining a good education, these sagacious knights and ladies have placed in our hands King Arthur’s mighty sword, Excalibur, with which we may conquer the evils of the world.
