MR. BAILEY Thirteen years In the East Gary Schools: That is but one of the achievements of Virgil I. Bailey, superintendent of the schools. During his first two years in East Gary, Mr. Bailey served as Prin- cipal of Columbus School, and the next two years as Principal of Edison High: then he was appointed Superintendent. He is a graduate of Central Normal, and holds a Master ' s Degree from Indiana University. Mr. Bailey ' s deep Interest in civic affairs and in the welfare of the youth of the community is evidenced in a number of ways. MR. STROUBE At the helm of Edison High School is F. R. Stroube, principal. For two years he served as science teacher and physical education director before he was appointed principal in 1935. Multitudinous details of all descriptions are handled through his office. Mr. Stroube holds the B. S. and M. S. degrees from Indiana Univer- sity. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Three board members, with the superintendent, are responsible for keeping -the wheels of East Gary ' s educational system running smoothly. The members are John P. Klmnell, John K. Coulter, and Louis H. Dault. Stretching the budget to run the school system efficiently, providing facilities such as books, furniture, and laboratory equipment, appointing trained teachers — these are but a few of the problems that confront the board members.
