Five short steps from the main entrance of the High School one enters the main offices of the Superintendent of Schools. The inner office is said to be one of the most attractive in any school in the state. Soft tinted walls, pictures, flowers and trophies, combined with the genial countenance of Mr. Mofhtt himself, give an air of homelike surroundings that is somewhat belied by the clicking typewriters and the vvhir of the mimeograph. Miss lone Pierce is the secretary to the Superintendent and to the Board of Edu' cation. Miss Pierce is a graduate of Hurst's Business School. She is a most valuable help to our school in countless ways and is the friend of every student in the school, We should be lost without her cheery smile in the main office. Mrs. Georgia F. Moffitt is personal secretary to the Superintendent, and in un' official capacity, counselor and friend to teacher and pupil alike. Her services to the entire school cannot be reckoned in terms of gold and silver. There are three principals: Mr. Vernon Simmons of the Senior High School, Miss Florence Eckhardt of the Junior High School and Miss Lovina Robbins of the Grade School. Miss Muriel Draudt, of the Class of 1927, Hamburg High School, directs the High School students who help with the clerical work in Mr. Simmons' office on the third floor of the High School.

The Board of Education Six men and a woman, imbued with vision and courage, have brought to Ham' burg High School an understanding of problems and a constructive leadership that has made for the happiness and wellfbeing of every student at the school. The Hamburg Board of Education is composed of leaders in the community, its membership includes those who have won outstanding success in the fields of banking, technology, science, art and community relationships. Through this group of people the educational picture is made, the plan and leader' ship of the school is directed and the hopes for the future are born. Honor where honor is due. Working with a quiet, unassuming leadership, in the past few years this Board has brought mighty things to pass. Beautiful new pictures hang in the halls, new facilities for special work are at our command, new standards of school efficiency have been established. We, at the school, are the happier and the more successful because of the conf structive vision of these six men and the woman. They have brought to their task an understanding of our problem and our needs. QIWCXQQIBCXQQIBCXQ 1 9 3 0 QIEKXQQZWFXQQIBKXQ Twelve

High School Faculty Q Patient, loyal and hardfworking seem the most appropriate adjectives to describe the high school teachers. They have done much for the present senior class and for the student body. The aim of the faculty has been to make the experiences of the students both more pleasant and more profitable. To that end extrafcurricular activities have been fostered, student participation has become a fact, boys and girls have been aided in preparing themselves for honorable and efficient leadership as citizens. In a series of interesting and profitable faculty meetings careful study has been made of the procedure whereby pupils might be given better guidance in vocations, in citizenship and in character building. As a result of these meetings much has been accomplished in the way of diagnostic, achievement, and intelligence testing and com' mittees are at work on plans for the coming year which bid fair to put Hamburg High School in an enviable position because of her work in progressive fields of education. During this year scholarship has improved, more pleasant relations have been es' tablished between students and teachers, and a state inspector has said, Hamburg High School is one of the small high schools in the state which is doing outstanding work.
