4 THE CRESCENT, 1923 The Board of Education GREETINGS FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT Again we greet the readers of the Crescent at the close of a happy and successful year. The staff is happy to prepare this publication for your deligth. Thanks to your support, our schools are in good shape. We are constantly adding new features in order to be of greater service. Our latest addition is that of Bible reading in the grades and a fuller stury of Bible literature in the Junior and Senior High Schools. We feel that the moral teachings which result will amply repay the time taken. Larger building facilities are needed for further enlargement of work and we hope to see our readers deeply interested in such a projct. With kindest wishes, ARTIHJR W. KONOLD, Superintendent.

 TIIE CRESCENT, 1 9 2 A ARTHUR W. KONOLD. Arthur W. Konold, Superintendent of the Public Schools has been with us for seven years. In this time the school city of Elwood has grown by leaps and bounds in equipment, seope of work, and efficiency of administration. Our superintendent is in no small way responsible for this growth which has placed Elwood's school system among the best in the state. He has selected the teaching force wisely and in such a way as to obtain the most efficient work in the most harmonious manner. He has fitted himself well for the position that he holds by teaching experience in grade school and in college as well as by a thorough training in colleges and universities. We are sorry that this is the last year that he will be with us but greater opportunities and present exigencies call him to other fields. Our wishes for Ins future success will follow him wherever he shall go. WILLIAM F. SMITH William E. Smith, our principal, has been with us for five years, four of which have been spent in his present position. While he has been with us he has, by his genial attitude toward all, made himself a friend ami a lifelong creditor to all who have been so fortunate as to attend High School under his administration. In the four years he has been principal the school has grown not only in numbers and in variety of courses offered but in the quality of the work of all classes and in the number of those graduating with honors. When it was necessary to select some one to take the place of Mr. Konold as Superintendent for next year the school board chose Mr. Smith for the position from a list of thirty applications. So our principal, who is both a prince and a pal, will go on next year working for the betterment fo all the schools. He, like our present superintendent, has trained himself by attendance and graduation from the best colleges of the state.
