Principal O. B. Hayward ■ overseer reaps his first crop As a garden needs an overseer to direct its growth, a school needs a principal to guide its progress. Mr. Orville R. Hayward has successfully completed his first year as principal of George Rogers Clark School. Previous to his appointment at Clark, he served at Irving School in Hammond. During the year several systems were revised by our new principal. We now have eight jjeriods, due to the inauguration of staggered lunch hours. The afternoon homeroom periods ' were also dis¬ continued. Students must now obtain passes upon leaving, or to enter a classroom. To lessen the work of the office staff, Principal Hayward gave the job of signing absentee excuses to homeroom teachers. The task of becoming principal of a strange school is not an easy one; there are many problems to solve. Mr. Hayward should be commended on the fine way in which he executed his duties. 12
