MARSH TI-IE ADMINISTRATION The administration of our school consists of three branches-namely, the board of education, the superintendent of schools, and the high school principal. The school board plays an important part in influencing the type of education we receive. These men are always looking ahead and trying to better our alma mater. Through suggestions received from Mr. Vincent and Mr. Marsh, they formulate the policies that govern our school. Mr. Q. G. Vincent, superintendent of Ford City Public Schools, handles quite eFFiciently his responsibilities as administrator of the aFFairs of the Ford City Schools. He is the executive oFficer whose duty it is to see that the policies of the board are carried out. The superintendent of schools, while he is elected by the local school board, is commissioned for a term of four years by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. As- sisting the school board in selecting new faculty members is one of his many and perhaps most important duties. He attends to the ordering of new text books and other materials necessary to the teachers' and students' daily work. Mr. Vin- cent is ably assisted by his secretary, Miss Mar- garet Mongavin. Mr. P. N. Marsh, our principal, is well- known by all the students as he directs the affairs of our high school. Among his many duties, Mr. Marsh plans the master schedule and each stu- dent's schedule for the year. His voice is heard regularly over the P. A. system as he makes the daily announcements. He handles all the finan- cial matters of the various clubs and organiza- tions of the school. In Mr. Marsh's oftice are kept each student's record, and much of our principal's time is spent in relaying copies of the student's record to prospective employers or to colleges. Assisting Mr. Marsh is his efficient sec- retary, Miss Mildred Heigley. To our board of education, to Mr. Vincent, and to Mr. Marsh, the members of the class of T950 wish to express their gratitude for the guid- ance and help they have received during their years in Ford City High School.
