Those people have made our country the melting pot of the world, in which persons of many different languages, colors, and faiths are fused into one people. I Here, where people are free, where they help each other to make better lives for themselves, help each other to build homes, to secure education, to worship as they please, people can be proud of their heritage. Every state, every city, is a smaller melting pot of people. Even right here in the Englewood high school district we have a cosmopolitan community. Ex' tending north .and south in a narrow pat' tern from Twentyfsecond to Seventyffirst Streets, it embraces many racial and na' tional stocks. Englewood High School, therefore, is a cosmopolitan school. Here boys and girls whose forebears came from more than thirty nations study, work and play tof gether to become good citizens and good neighbors. This training in human relations is ob' tained not only from textbooks and other classroom material, but from daily exf change of viewpoints and experiences, from working together toward common goals in clubs and on special projects, and from inspirational assembly programs.

Excellent Teaching Plus rfibeciell Serwkef Hefty ftuelentf to Sutter! Thousands of former students owe their measure of success to the Hne teaching at Englewood and to the guidance given by the faculty working under Mr. joseph C. Thompson, the principal. Prim al Josspng gfrno PsoN fl J Cjljf jgzgfjt 1, . g Lf f For the last nine years the organization of the school, as developed by Mr. Thompf son, has helped the students both educaf tionally and personally. This organization might be called a complex machine as there are many departments and divisions di' vided into three main branches: lnstrucf tional Activities, Nonflnstructional Activities, and Auxiliary Services. Mr. Thompson as principal, heads the Whole organization and also has direct charge over the Instructional Activities. Page is Aiding Mr. Thompson in running this complex organization is Mr. john C. Krief witz, the assistant principal. Besides his general duties, Mr. Kriewitz has immef diate charge of the Nonflnstructional Activities. Heading the personnel branch of the Auxiliary Services is Miss Helen C. Campf bell, the adjustment teacher, whose job it is to see that students are adjusted to every' day school life. She does so by starting from the beginning. Before students enter En' glewood Miss Campbell assisted by other members of the faculty visits the contributf ing elementary schools. At these visits con' ferences are held with students and parents to decide what subjects are best suited for the student. MR. JOHN G. KRIEXVITZ W .. QW' I. Q
