Principal, Mr. Arnold Salisbury re D 4 4 5 962 4 X aa On my tour through GHS, I met lNIr. Arnold Salisbury who holds one of the most important and respected johs of the community-that of hcing high school principal. His joh is one which is essential to the efficient management of a modern high school systcin. Some of his duties are to promote public relations, supervise and guide students and faculty, operate the school within a budget, lead curriculum changes, and maintain the high standards of GHS. After a chat, Mr. Salisbury introduced me to his secretary, Mrs. Eileen Damberg. Aside from her secre- tarial duties, she takes care of the calendar, hook rentals. daily hullctins, has charge of lockers, and makes out eligibility slips. Then I was introduced to Mrs. Pauline Werner who has charge of the attendance and tardiness. To complete the office staff, I met Mrs. Elva li. Donaldson who schedules classes and keeps each pupil's permanent record up to date. The students here at GHS are very fortunate to have a principal and an oHice staff as fine as this.

Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Wesley Wooley Everyone says First things come first , so I decided to start my tour off with a visit to the Superintendent of School District 205. In the Public Library, just a few steps from dear old GHS , is thc office of the superintendent, Mr. Wooley. When I entered, he greeted me with a smile, and soon I really got to know him. Mr. Wooley told me that this was his first year as superintendent, but I believe the effectiveness with which he carries out his duties has already been felt by the majority of citizens. The main objective of his work is to promote the development and growth of the educational system in Galesburg while working along with the Board of Education. After finding out about his many duties, I was inter- ested to hear that he is active in civic projects 100. Talking to Mr. Wooley made me feel that his wisdom and ability to understand everyone around him are assets to his character which help him in his important W work. ' Having talked with Mr. Wooley, I became anxious to see the Board at work. It happened in the strangest way, too. One Monday night, I was just wandering around when I heard voices coming from a nearby room. Naturally my curiosity got the best of me, so I tiptoed up to the door and peeked into the room. There sat seven men and one woman who I immediately recognized as School District 205's Board of Education. I've heard so much about the Board and its constant efforts in trying to gain benefits for Galesburg schools, but I've never seen its members in action before. Since they were working so hard on the schools, problems, budget, and improvements, I silently made my exit, leaving them undisturbed. Board of Education Top row: Mr. Curtis Erickson, Mr. Kenneth Holmes, Mr. Forrest Moberg, Mr. William H. Moon. Bottom row: Mr. Charles Smith, treasurer, Mr. Thomas G. Storey, Mrs. Chris Wallace, Mr. Harold Whitman. 8

x S'Whoops! That was all I could say the day I ventured into the' wrong room at GHS. I looked up and saw the smiling face of Miss Ryin, the very capable Dean of Girls at Galesburg High. She asked if she could help me with something, but I told her that I had just wandered in by mistake. You should have seen those papers on her desk! She surely has many responsibilities that go with being co-sponsor of Student Council and the busy advisor of Girls' Service League. I canit understand how she can have such a fine disposition with all that work! Like everyone else in the school, I enjoyed talking to Miss Ryin very muchg but then I knew that I had some business of my own to attend to so I gathered up my brushes and left.
