Paul N. Carlson Principal of Horace Mann School Friendly co-operation and guidance are two traits displayed daily to Horace Mann students by Mr. Carlson and Mr. Mart as they go about their duties. The pair have an endless list of responsi¬ bilities they must perform to secure the smooth running of the school. These responsibilities fall into two groups — those which are purely mechanical and those which involve personal contact with the students. Keep ing attendance records, registering students, plan¬ ning the school budget and sending transcripts of grades to colleges and employers are a few which fall into the former category. More closely related to the students themselves are the jobs of supervis¬ ing extra-curricular activities, promoting school spirit, and dealing with problems of students. The jobs of principal and assistant principal of Horace Mann are very demanding. The school is fortunate to have two such capable men as Mr. Carlson and Mr. Mart to fill the positions. Coupled with a devoted and efficient faculty, they form a fine staff which consistently maintains the high standards which have made Horace Mann a very fine school. Palmer E. Mart Assistant Principal of Horace Mann School

BOARD OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES 1st Row: Raymond F. Zale, Vice-President; Dr. Leroy W. Bingham, President; Andrew White, Secretary. Standing: Samuel P. Moise, Mrs. Dena I. Adams, Treasurer. BOARD OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES The Board of Education has many responsibili¬ ties to the Gary schools and to the community. The members of the board must meet the problem of running the school system efficiently and effective¬ ly. They are responsible for building new schools and keeping up old ones. They must keep teach¬ ing methods modern and are also responsible for hiring the teachers and personnel necessary to keep the schools functioning successfully. To insure the smooth running of the schools, the preparation of budgets, the making of salary sched¬ ules, and the investigation of special problems, the Board attends bimonthly business meetings as well as many special conferences. The job the members of the schoool board un¬ dertake is time consuming and difficult, but the citizens of Gary greatly appreciate the work the Board is doing. SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS The Superintendent of Schools is chosen by the School Board to carry out its orders, which include providing qualified teachers and school personnel and exercising leadership which will keep the Gary schools abreast of the latest and best educational practices. As the man responsible for the general supervision of all the city ' s schools, the superintend¬ ent is also expected to keep the board and the gen¬ eral public informed about school achievements and school problems. Alden H. Blakenship Superintendent of Gary Schools
