James T. Whittlesey Who's that young man strolling through the hall? Why, it's Mr. James T. Whittlesey. The most cherished memories of our school year are those centering around this colorful, energetic figure whom we all know as our principal. For three years Mr. Whittlesey has led us with prudence and skill, throughout, he has been held in high esteem, because of his devotion to the interests of students and his farsightedness in his efforts to benefit the school. Students gain valuable experience in self- government by our principal's encouraging Student Council activity. He also gives many opportunities for the development of leadership and character. When the time for fun and recreation rolls around, Mr. Whittlesey is right there, and enioys a bit of amusement himself. He is a very able member of the school faculty basketball team, which has improved greatly in the last three years. Vigorous support of school activities has endeared him to the student body. To many Foresters, Mr. Whittlesey is an understand- ing principal, a symbol of happy days in the old Alma Mater, but to each and everyone of us, he is a dear friend who will never be forgotten in years to come.

lzzglml Board of Education Although the members of the Board of Education are seldom seen in the halls of Forest, they are the administrators of our school and all other public schools in Dallas. The Board, composed of members elected by the people of the city, functions through its several committees which study the problems and needs of schools and discuss and plan ways to aid the schools. It determines the days to be set off as holidays, chooses the books and other materials to be used in the curriculum, and is responsible for the employment of administrators, teachers, and other workers in the schools. In fact, everything associated with the schools is directed by the Board. The members of the Board of Education and the committees which they head are as follows: DR. DAVID W. CARTER FRED D. DANFORD President Building and Sites Committee Chair- MRS. w. P. zuMwALT mon Vice President, MRS. TRACY RUTHERFORD Supplies Committee Chairman Lunchroom Committee Chairman DAN D. ROGERS W. C.
