CAPTAIN CLYDE FRUIT Lett to right: Edward I. Ballweg, Harry Hanser, I. F. Eeck, President, E. A. Alexander R C Cunningham, Mrs. I, F. Gilham, Dr. Wayne B. Cox, Secretary. tlut Supreme Court As every democratic government must have a judicial body, chosen by the people, so Tig- ertown has her Board of Education. We think our seven judges are the best. This year We are welcoming Mr. Ballweg, Mr. Hanser, and Mr. Eeck to the board. Captain Clyde Fruit, now serving in the Army, should also be given Special tribute. Captain Fruit took time from his Christmas furlough to look over the schools and its problems with Mr. Alexander. This group of people, without compensation, 8 have the responsibility for five school build- ings on their shoulders. All of these schools present their problems of finance, up-keep, recreation, and ever-existing modern develop- ments. Our judges have selected the fine staff of teachers who are trying vainly to give us resi- dents some knowledge. PS.: As the book goes to press, we are noti- fied that Captain Fruit has been promoted to a Major.

:Mi in.. Judges MR. ALEXANDER-GOVERNOR folly, with red hair and always a smile gives us the picture of the typical lrishman, and it also brings to mind Mr. Alexander, our Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Alexander's day is filled to the brim with the administration of Edwardsville's entire school system. l-le has expertly managed all the problems that four schools have presented. MR. WOOD-MAYOR We welcomed Mr. Wood from Alton this fall, introducing him to his first year in Tigertown. Everyone who has met him has been struck by his per- sonality and friendliness which has won for him all of Tigertown's praise. Under Mr. Wood's guidance many favorable changes have taken place this year, such as the noon time recreation facili- ties. Mr. Wood said that he has been in this business twenty-one years, but hastened to explain that he started at the age of nineteen. MR. LOVE-DEAN OF BOYS Comes the first period in the morning and many of Tigertown's men become acquainted with Mr. Love. Mr. Loves day is one continuous line of boys, problems from tardiness to-ah, ab- sence. This makes his twelfth year in Tiger- town and he is spending his sixth year as Dean of Boys. l943 with its eighteen year old draft law has brought many problems to Mr. Love, and the boys have greatly appreciated his advice and information. MISS SLOAN-DEAN OF GIRLS A cheerful smile, an approving nod, a quick step, and Miss Sloan has passed by. Being mother, teacher, nurse, counsellor and numerous other characters at Bl-l.S. must be an inspir- ing occupation. At least our Dean of Girls seems to thrive on it. Every girl has found in conferences with Miss Sloan an understanding, sympathetic and true friend, All of Tigertowns gals wish to say, Thanks, Miss Sloan, for being so swelll
