in school affairs Mr. Marion B. England, principal, and Mr. John H. Smith, assistant principal were two of the busiest men at Emerson; yet they never became too busy to pay special attention to each student. They were always willing to speak individually with any parent, student, or teacher who wished an inter¬ view. But their responsibilities were not limited to ad¬ ministrative duties. Games, dances, club induc¬ tions, and banquets were included in the admin¬ istrative activities. Taking an interest in all Gary Public Schools and the students who attended them, the Gary School Board worked year round to improve our educational system. Mr. John H. Smith, assistant principal, prepares to face a day of blue slips, office chats, and parent interviews. Mr. Marion B. England, principal, begins his school day after battling the morning traffic.
