Page Ten El Recuerdo CLASS OF 1930 IME moves forward and today We observe the world beckoning to the Class of Nineteen Thirty. Upon the eve of your graduation we join with you in celebrating this happy event, an event surrounded by feelings of both joy and sorrow-joy in the knowledge that each of you has achieved the lofty ambition of gradua- tion, sorrow in the realization that high school friendships can never again be united in an active student life. On this memorable occasion we desire to express our feeling of respect and admiration for your achievements during the four busy and purposeful years We have spent together. Our parting wish for the Class of Nineteen Thirty is expressed in the hope that each member of the class may early find his place of service in the world of affairs and, having found it, may the future reflect for each of you a life that has been prompted by lofty ideals, guided by a generous spirit of service, and surrounded by a host of true and lasting friends. Sincerely yours, K. L. STOCKTON.

As viceaprincipals, Paul E. VVebb and R. M. XVestover have charge oi research and guidance, and business affairs, respectively. The department of research gathers statistics concerning the scholastic standing of students, and through the medium of counselors, aids students in choosing their courses. Mr. XVebb also has charge of class schedules, the advisory system, and the administering of intelligence tests. A-Xs business manager, Mr. NVcstover has charge of employees' salaries, purchasing of textbooks and equipment, and upkeep of grounds and buildings. Personal problems of girls and boys are handled through the otlices of the dean of girls, Miss Mary Alice Austin, and the dean of boys, Edward G. Thompson. Girls' League and Boys' Forum activities, respectively, come under their jurisdiction. In addition to these corresponding duties, Miss Austin regulates the rule of uniform dress for girls. Floyd R. Honn, principal of the night school, governs the administration of adult education. From 7:00 to 9:00 four nights a week classes are con- ducted in practical subjects for those who wish to increase their knowledge and skill for utilitarian or cultural purposes. The Opportunity School, directed by Arthur E. Paine, offers classes for those of school age whose personal problems permit only part-time attend- ance. Here a specialty is made in vocational teaching, since most of the students enrolled will not attend college. To regulate student affairs in accordance with rules of the administra- t1on, the attendance office, headed by Charles E. Hoye, checks all details regarding the students' whereabouts and thus aids in keeping the school schedule in clock-like running order.
