Administration Every ship must have a pilot, and a school is no exception. Elgin High School is directed by the Principal, Mr. Goble, and the Superintendent, Mr. Saam. It is because of the untiring efforts of these men in the advancement of education that we have a school system to which all students are proud to belong. Mr. Saam supervises all the schools of Elgin and heads the administrative work of the Board of Education. The High School itself is directed by Mr. Goble. Both men are ready and willing to help students with their problems. We are fortunate in having such excel- lent administrators in our schools. Advisers ADAH PRATT T. A. LARSEN B. A. Wheaton College.

This is only one of the problems of the advisers. This year we have had three advisers, Mrs. Drysdale and Miss Pratt in room 201 and Mr. Larsen in 318. Students feel free to come to the advisers and talk over their problems, for they know they will get helpful, sympathetic advice. Unfortunately discipline is still necessary in schools. This is also the work of the advisers. For- tunately, however, their discipline is helpful and not of the destructive type. They also take care of absences and tardiness. They check up students, credits to see that they are in the proper classes. The work of the advisers is indeed important, since they strive for cooperation between students, teachers, and the school system. NELLIE DRYSDALE B. A. Wheaton College.
