Its members can be seen in and out of room 208 performing their various duties. For instance, a very busy man holds the position of superinten- dent.flVIr. David A. VanBuskirk by namel. He has an endless schedule of jobs to do like attending important meetings pertaining to the running of our school -and obtaining teachers to replace those taken because of war demands Cand don't think that isn't a nerve- wracking jobj. Added to these duties and similar ones, he has the students' interests at hearts yes, he's a very busy man, our super- intendent. Of course, you've seen that good looking principal ofoursl You must have if you've ever been absent or--l Besides teaching Latin he has all the tedious duties that go with principalship. By the way, he had a lot to do with the success of this issue of the Dooms- day Book, acting as adviser of the first semester committee. His name? Edwin L. Taylor. The assistant principal is Mr. Fred jones, our chemistry and physics whizz, who has administrative duties and is adviser for the Faculty-Student Council.

She keeps the files straight. the books balanced, and all the routine jobs taken care of. Miss Schantfs helpers are Beatrice Bush of the typewriter and Bonnie Brandstetter of the bookstore. Now you have met our administration. Put all these six indiv- iduals together, and you have an organization that clicks.
