Tlzese even ate esponsible ofz 6, 00 gin ents Marilyn Chapek The responsibility for the operation of the Enid school system rests with the Board of Education whose seven members are elected, each for a term of four years, by the people of Enid. Six of the Board members are elected from the six wards, and one is elected at large. Half of the Board is elected every two years, the election date being the same as for city ofiicials. The members of the Board receive no pay and give their service purely out of their great interest in the Enid schools and their desire to give the Enid students the best possible advantage of a modern education. Cleo liisher is president of the Board, and lirank iVlarquis is vice-president. The other members are: Dave Bucher, Al Braithwaite. Edith lvlayberry, Edith Pinkerton and E. C. NVilmoth, The treasurer of the Board, Henry l-l. Davis, is elected by the people. The Board employs Nlartin I-I. Nliller as clerk, Lou Ella Wcillf as secretary, Charles W. Carroll as auditor and Paul Edwards as attorney. P. Moocl is superintendent of building and grounds. The official who carries out the policies of the Board is Dt'Witt Vv'aller, Superintendent of schools. Nlr. VValler makes recommenda- tions and proposals, but the Board must pass on all such recommendations before they can be put into effect.

This is a magazine which we of the editorial staff fully hope will bring back those good ole' days,-will 'bring a chuckle here and there,-will even cause a tear to fall filled with remembrances of friends near and far away,-whether they be on the field of battle or merely down the street. Cherish your QUILL and give it the chance to bring back those everlasting reminiscences. If it can, then we have wholly succeeded in its purpose.

gentlemen make Decisions - --isr- Phyllis Childress The people of Northwestern Qklahoma are aware of the fact that Enid possesses two outstanding educators, Dc'Witt Wallei', Su- perintendent of Schools, and D. Bruce Selby, Fnid High School Principal. People are also aware of their Hue records in the field of education, hut not every person has the opportunity to meet these men and know them personally. It is hoped that this article will better acquaint such people with these two men, who are responsible for the smooth running of the Enid school system and Enid High School, respectively. 4 Dcllfizr lVaffer, .S'npL'rir1tena'cnt Nlr. VValler ranks high among educators of the Southwest. He is noted for the efiicient Enid school system and has received numerous honors in the Held of education. Nlany civic awards have been conferred upon him too, but because of his modesty, the public sometimes fails to hear of them. He was among 250 educators in the United States chosen to visit New York University and thc United Nzitioiis in Febru- ary, 1953. For three days, they studied the mechanics and philosophy of the United Nations while it was in session. This tall, friendly man has a large store of knowledge behind his casual appearance. ln his calm, even voice he can speak on almost any subject. He is well read and has traveled extensively. Those who know him best, admire his keen sense of humor. His speeches often relic-ct this trait and keep his audience smil- ing. He likes children of all ages, but is especially fond of the smallest grade school children. Those who work for him, admire and respect his judgment. He is noted for his ability to listen patiently to both sides of a question and carefully evaluate the facts before making a decision. This is one out- standing trait that makes him pleasant to work for. D. Bruce Selby, Principal Enid High can well be Proud of its own D. Bruce Selby. Not every school can boast a principal of such vim and vitality-a man who can keep up with the most active stu- dents, in school spirit and enthusiasm. His first interest is Enid High, its students, and their problems. Besides the numerous duties that confront a principal, such as scheduling classes, guid- ing the teaching staff and custodians, arl ranging extra curricular actvities and so on, hdr. Selhv somehow finds time to counsel students who need his guidance. He loves his work with teachers and students alike.
