M1'cf-Century the Cilec Club was organized. Mr. Coburn, who has taken over where Nr. Yigcland left off, has also started a band. The greatest steps forward, how- ever, have been the formation of the Honor Board and the successful in- doctrination of a system of student- proctored study halls. The Honor Board was formed to assist the stu- dents in perfecting the Honor System. Thus far, the Board is proud to say that it has heard no cases. The stu- dent-proctored study halls are working well, and are developing cooperation and independence among the stu- dents. Since 1928 the School has been led bv Mr. Umpleby, an active and pro- gressive Headmaster. Mr. Beaumont, the assistant Headmaster, has also been with the school since its beginf ning. Mr. Metzger joined the facul- ty a year later, and has been with us since. Two other long-term mem- bers of the faculty are Mr. Ward, athletic director, and Mr. Drake, Principal of the Lower School. Many of the Schoo1's graduates have distinguished themselves. Per- haps our most famous graduate is Dick Button, VVor1d and Qlympic hgure skating champion and winner in 19-19 of the Sullivan Award. Out- standing scholastically, were Eddy Miller, winner in 1945 of the first Pepsi-Cola Scholarship held in New jersey, and George Myers, winner of the Cornell National Scholarship in 1947. . 1950 finds the Englewood School striving industriously and ever im- proving. XVe can be sure that its standards will continue to rise and its fine name remain high in the aca- demic world. U11
