g1.i..,,..T.oM.a.,.m umsvwoaau-um DR. THADDEUS J. LUBERA Should you happen to see a stocky man about five feet nine with a massive head and rather Wavy brown hair in a hlgh school core ridor anywhere in our great city, dont be surprtsed If someone says, There goes Dr. Lubera. You know Thaddeus I. Lubera',, our As- sistant Superintendent in Charge of Secondary Educatlon. You'll be struck by the benign expression of his full face and the springy vigor of his walk, talk, and whole personallty: You should be too; for your welfare is much in his mind day and night. He is vitally interested in you w whether you be a student or a teacher. If you talk with him individually or hear h1m speak in pub- lic, however briefly, you'll quickly sense that he thinks, feels, dreams, hopes, plans during Virtually all his waking hours in terms related to the high schools and junior colleges of our vast metropolis. Specially close to his heart are the refining phases of education e those which mold character. Fittingiy thus one of his favorite words is refinement. His service in the Chicago public school system covers more than three decades. He has taught in elementary schooi and in high school. He has been an assistant principal in high school, an elemen- tary school principal, an evening school principal, a high school principal, and a district superintendent. In addition he has been an instructor in the Department of Education at De Paul University. What better preparation could he have had for his present influen- tial position? Moreover, his own higher education was equally comprehensive. A graduate of the Chicago Teachers College, he attended three other seats of learning also and received a degree from each of them: a BA. from Lewis Institute, an MA. from De Paul University, and a PhD. from the University of Chicago. High school students and high school teachers couldn't have a better friend than Thaddeus I. Lubera. Ever and always he is on the lookout for means of helping them make their various activities increasingly rewarding. DR. JAMES H. SMITH A man who uses words sparingly, Dr. James H. Smith, our District Superintendent, makes each one count. He is an engineer and a scientist. Fittingly thus he utilizes language in the manner of a tech- nician working with a precision instrument. At the same time, how- ever, he is unaffectedly human and has a sunny sense of humor. Dr. Smith's prep school education began in Canada and was completed at Tiiden Technical High School in Chicago. After grad- uating from Tiiden he went to the University of Illinois, where he took a BS. degree in engineering. Following this he attended the Univer- sity of Chicago, taking an MA. there, and then Loyola University, where he received the degree of Doctor of Education. Subsequently Bradley University awarded him a Doctor of Science degree. He has taught at an elementary school, at Fenger High School, and in the graduate school of Loyola University. He has been prin- cipal of Sherwood Elementary School, of Fenger High School, and of Lane Technical High School. We at Engiewood are fortunate, indeed, that such a careful man of deeds is at the helm of our district tDistrict Fivei. To him we are much indebted for the improvements we qet-particularly in the way of new facilities and equipment. He always sees to it that the schools in his district receive their due share of good and useful things. This is in keeping with his conviction that high school stue dents should get the fullest possible instruction an attitude for which he is widely known and highly respected.

. . .- 1s --vws1'mumwmfumnwpqammm Perhaps you wish to become a physician, perhaps a nurse. Or maybe you look forward toward a career as a beautician or a teacher, a social worker or a secretary, an engineer or an accountant, a lawyer or a merchant. The list of possible vocational aspirations could be extended over pages. But whatever occupation or profession you choose: whether you become a farmer or a banker; whether you amass a fortune or manage only to make a mod- est livelihood; whether you remain an obscure John or Mary Doe or become President of the United States o-you'll be a man or woman, a citizen, and most likely not only a husband or wife but also a father or mother. Regardless, too, of whether your life work is to be a humble factory job or the kind that will bring you worldwide fame, you'll have lifelong opportunities to see the sun rise and set in breath-taking splendor and the stars bejewel the sky with sublime artistry, you'll be a witness to the magic and mystery which the sea- sons cast over the open country and to the ever-shiftinq paqeantry of day and night in teeming cities. You'll Have to Deal With People Whether you turn out to be a tailor, a bookkeeper, a scientist, or writer you'll have to deal with people; you'll make friends and enemies; you'll experience frustrations and tragedies, Victories and defeats; you'll have to cope with the problems of youth and adult- hood, middle age and old age. Whatever your occupation may be, the likelihood is you'll have to make decisions as to Where and When to travel, what books to read, plays to see, music to Toward The Well-Balanced Personality v , L l - - mt.wv,x 1523m1:haw:ugagpgmzwwuwmu : :mj. . t. z ,. a 1'0 1 ' l , 7H W7? :. ll x ; N V11; I n'; .4 y y 'l h t M NH I920 t t t l , it X MW v IJIMVI, . y N Hll l. t l t t s 'I mmmm Oh!

Your various mental, physical, moral, and spiritual faculties This brings to mind the controversy which has kept the rafters ringing since before the Flood. It has to do wilth whether the practical or the theoretical should be stressed in education, whether the function of schools and colleges is mainly to develop the mind or to pre- pare young people directly for the specific demands of adult life. Common sense, it would seem, could take the thun- der out of this argument. Common sense suggests that a balance should be maintained between the two: the practical and the theoretical, the inculcation of ideas and training for specific tasks. Normal People Have Varied Interests Every normal person wants work, a job to do, a Chance to earn a living and play his or her part in the workaday world. And, in this connection, it should be stressed that being a housewife is most decidedly a job, and a Vital one. 14 Youth's Golden Dreams. school like I or at least balanced p6 t will have to be developed to a high degree of Certain Ct ' effectiveness. paring the E Bookkeeping that come rt an immediat English is t1 .
