I-laclcenberg Hello, Dolly !-1-This is Joan. I called to tell you that I got the dope on the administration and faculty that you wanted for the Chirnrock.-il have a lot of material on both groups, so I'll give you the information on the Board of Education, the superintendent, and the principals, first. You know our Board has just been reorf ganized, and we have quite a few professions represented. It consists of Homer I. Smith, president, William Wade, vice president, Dr. William Hughes, Dr. Ira Mitterling, Harvey Hyle, Eugene Hamill, and John Shrum. Did you know that Miss Blanche Davis, who works in the superintendents office, acts as secretary of the Board? I often wondered what her duties were. Say, I was really surprised when I found out all the things that the Board has to do. Believe me, they run up against plenty of problems. -l-Well, I'1l give you an idea of the usual tasks. The Board must determine the tax rate so as to cover the expense of maintaining the school, choose the faculty, purchase the supplies, and see that our school provides for the educational needs of the modern jitterbug and other species. You remember Hobson C. Wagner, our joan

Left-D. H. Lomas High school Principal Right-J. HARRY HBNSHAW jr. High Principal former superintendent, left Hollidaysburg last summer, -l-Yes, it was quite a task to fill such an important oflice as that of superintendent of schools. The Board chose Dr. Joseph L. Hackenberg. I'm sure everyone agrees that Dr. Hackenberg not only knows his work but is a swell all'around fellow. Naturally Dr. Hackenberg and the Board must cooperate with one another to see that this school of ours is operated in the best possible manner. They must be on the alert at all times to keep the school progressing. ---Now, Dolly, there is one more part of the administration, the principals. Dolan H. Loree, principal of senior high school, and J. Harry Henshaw, principal of junior high school, are the executives who carry out the duties delegated by Dr. Hackenberg. It is these men who come in personal contact with the students. In both schools the important aim is to prepare the students to go out and take their places in Superintendenfs secretary ad- vises new clerks, left to fight, Hoover, Pequignot, Bice, the cold, cold world. This is particularly stressed in the program of study in the senior high school. Mr. Loree takes a great deal of time arranging the courses of study. Mr. Henshaw works toward this goal by pre- paring his students for higher instruction in the senior high school. Well, Dolly, do you see what a task confronts our administration? This is just a bird'sfeye view, believe me. The next step along the line is the teaching staffg I'm sure you are interested in hearing about these remarkable classroom characters.
