LEMMON C. STOUDNOUR Superintendent of Schools EAST PENN UNION Seated: Howard Yarus fSolicitorJ, Vernon H. Schantz fV1ce-Presidentj, Homer G. Koch fPresidentJ, Howard A. Eyer LTreasurerJ, William A. Shoemaker QSecretaryb. Allevicifing Shortage Housing has been the main concern of the Board of Directors of the East Penn Union School District through- out the past year. This group of seven elected men has been responsible for the financing of schools, the employing of all person- nel, the maintenance of school property and the establish- ment of school policies. The board has spent much time considering the problem of housing and at present is waiting for state approval of plans for a new junior high school on the land adjoining the high school, but separated from the main building. Plans are also well under way for an elementary school at Wescoesville. The board plans to meet necessity for increased classroom facilities by constructing a second junior high school or perhaps by adding prefabricated classrooms which could be erected as the need arose. To inform itself more completely of the needs of stu- dents and teachers, the board has heard reports from various faculty department heads on the needs of their department. These dedicated men, who formerly met once a month, have been meeting once a week in order to solve all prob- lems necessary to keep up the high standards of Em- maus High School so that it can retain its accreditation by the Middle Atlantic States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Mr. Lemmon C. Stoudnour, Superintendent of Schools, has worked closely with the board in the areas of hiring employees, planning the budget, and formulating plans for new facilities. Mr. Stoudnour has brought many re- commendations before the school board and has been responsible for the smooth functioning of all the schools in the district. Scheduling of student activities, maintenance of discip- line, and the planning of faculty and student schedules are some of the tasks which Mr. Deischer, Principal, has ac- complished. In general he has handled the operation of the entire high school. Most students have had close personal contact with Mr. Frantz. He has handled the testing program, attend- ance records, and the organization of clubs. He has help- ed many seniors make their after graduation plans, filled out all college admission papers, prepared transcripts, and supervised guidance. SCHOOL BOARD Standing: Robert K.
