Jackson, provide educational facilities, a teaching and administrative staff, and a sound scho- lastic program for the students in the township schools. Some of the duties of the ten standing commit- tees are the preparation of a budget 3 the hiring of teachers, administrators, and non-professional em- ployees, and the building of necessary improve- ments and additions to the actual buildings them- selves. The committees, with various board members as chairmen, administer to the needs of the school district under their jurisdiction, and, after recom- mendations are made to the entire board, action is taken at regular public meetings.

As Principal, Mr. Walker has the responsibil- ity of supervision over all teachers and other employees of the school. He is responsible, too, for the continuance of good public relations through frequent contacts with parents and community groups. His main concern, however, is his students. By the employment of more effective teaching methods in the classroom and by continual improvement of the extra- curricular program, Mr. Walker feels that a student has every opportunity to mature both academically and socially while at Haverford. Glad to be back at school after a short leave of absence at the beginning of the school year, Mr. Walker affirms that his job as principal is very satisfying and challenging. Mr. Stinson's vital character was more evi- dent this year with the absence of Mr. Walker. It Was his duty, as assistant principal, to con- tinue his own work as well as assume the re- sponsibilities of principal.
