OUR PRINCIPAL Qzwllfl twirl fwfii A X! WA f AND DEANS When MR. A. EDSON SMITH came to Galesburg High School, education leaders congratulated us on securing a most capable leader. ln the two years that Principal Smith has been with us, he has convinced us all of his execu- tive ability. Every student in Galesburg High School is reaping the benefit of his lead- ership. A real interest in our problems and an earnest effort to solve them fairly and squarely is reason enough for naming him the author of our book of school life. All good story books have heaven-sent angels, and while our deans, MISS ALICE IONES and MR. FRANK SNYDER, are much more real than an- gels, they are the ones who make our troubles fly out the window. No two people could possibly be designated to do so much work and do it so well. Sponsorship of our Girls' Service League and Boys' Forum, as well as Student Council, is but a part of their duties. We students are aware of their constant effort to counsel wisely, to help in every situation, from the loan of a nickel for the bus to the finding of a job.

l m Tl SUPERIIXITENDENT AND BOARD OF EDUCATION SUPT. R. V. LINDSEY, who heads the editorial board of our volume, has devoted chapters toward the welfare of all who attend the schools of Gales- burg. Most noticeable to us is the chapter entitled Democracy. During his four years in our school it has be- come the pattern of life not only to be discussed but to be experienced. After analyzing the chapters which are evidence of his thoughtful plan- ning of our activities, it is obvious that Mr. Lindsey has a genuine interest in students and their future. Continually observing the growth and develop- ment of the students aids him in further realization of their problems. The BGARD OF EDUCATION acts as publishers and editorial advisors, duties demanding the formulation of wise decisions. Too few of us are aware of the ceaseless efforts of this group to pro- vide Galesburg High School students a more comfortable and pleasant en- vironment. For all, we are pleased to express sincere gratitude. R. V. Lindsey Mrs. Louise O'Connor David P. Lindberg Iohn H. Cox Alfred Nystrom si. 1 A . i fn.. lyfffry K Mrs. Robert A. Chandler Ralph D.
