TRUSTEES A great deal ofthe success of Excelsior is due to the earnest efforts of the members of the school Board of Trustees. The policies of administration, the building of new struc- tures upon the campus, all the financial ex- penditures, as Well as the serious disciplinary measures, are the problems which come be- fore them every year. Chosen because of their outstanding abilities in managing the activities of their ref spective communities, the members of the Board are elected for a period of three years, at the end of which they are subject to ref election. From among themselves they elect a president and a clerk each year. They are paid no salaries, and their only remuneration is the sincerest appreciation and thanks of the students. and the deepest respect of the members of their community.

ADMINISTRATCDRS Upon the shoulders of Miss Rankin rests the success of the student body government. With her friendly suggestions she assists the student body officers in carrying on their work. She aided in securing the noon dances for the students, works with the Girls' League and the Council, and does a great deal to further the progress of this organization, that she takes an interest in each student as an individual. In considering all that Miss Rankin does for the students we must not overlook those things which she does for members of the faculty. She is always willing to aid them with the problems that they encounter. Mr. Richardson has handled his new position as Dean of Boys with striking success. The tact with which he has dealt with difficult situations that have arisen deserves our sincere appreciation. He is interested in school events such as games and dances, and has been a faith- ful frequenter of such affairs. The success with which he has handled the National Youth Ad- ministration group of students has been outstanding. In her position as Counselor, Miss Watkins takes an active interest in school affairs and enjoys attending the social affairs because they afford her a better opportunity to become ac- quainted with the students. She works continuously to further friends among the students and was the originator of the friendship teas. This year Miss Watkins has devised a new plan of registration for the freshmen in order to facilitate their adjustment to high school. U51
