J1w 10ggzm lt is a rather difficult iob to give a really adequate picture of the ever-shifting panorama of life as it goes on in a fairly large, progressive high school like Indiana High. The school is probably the most crowded organization during the day that can be found in the whole county. Yet we grow and learn in a very satisfactory way. As a matter of fact, we are an accredited school of the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges. We have enjoyed that status for sixteen years, and this year an Evaluating Com- mittee of the Association spent most of a school week with us re-evaluating the school on its phil- osophy of operation, its curriculum, library facili- ties, pupil activities, pupil guidance, the outcomes of instruction, its teaching personnel, plant facili- ties and administration. The results of that evalu- ation as announced to the student body and the public show that we came through with fiying colors. It proves what we already knew: Indiana High is not only a good school, it is one of the best of the accredited schools. Indiana graduates have made an enviable record in many schools and have won many scholarships and scholastic honors. The school has a tradition of turning out informed, produc- tive, and worthwhile citizens. We are proud of that record. Members of the Evaluating Committee of the Middle State Association of Schools and Colleges are shown above in session: They are, seated: Catherine Netzloff, Latrobe High School CScienceJ, Dr. R. E.

an.. School administration covers a multitude of responsibilities. The panel to the right shows but a few of them, from build- ing maintenance to providing a public visiting session on a eve- ning during National Education Week. What with Mining Classes and Veterans' School at night, financial management, and supervision of instruction, the superintendent's office is a busy place. hool These men have had a dilticult task in the face of rising costs and sc income that has shrunk in purchasing power. Yet they have done their iob well. The Evaluation ot Indiana High by the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges shows that Indiana is serving the needs of its students better than seventy-nine per cent of all accredited schools, and that is a very high rating. The Board and superintendent are motivated by one major idea-to pre- pare the next generation for productive and intelligent citizenship. They know that the welfare and development of our nation, and the welfare of the people of all nations, is dependent upon the character and enlightenment of the coming generation.

Guidance Counselor Gladys Moorhead, B. S., Indiana State Teachers College, M. A., University of Pittsburgh, special work in Guidance at Pennsylvania State College. Here as elsewhere, the guiding principles of the administra- d d tion are in a large measure, responsible for that record. Ai e and supported by mature and professionally effective teachers, the principal and his assistants are concerned about the welfare ' ' Th h e of all of us at all times-at home, in school, uptown. ey av developed a curriculum, a guidance program, and a body of school activities which are designed to make students grow in mind, body, spirit, and personality. ln addition, pupils develop good citizenship qualities while t' ' atin in the student body organization. Room and school par :cup g officers lead students to make decisions and carry out their own affairs in a democratic man ner and with the advice of teachers. ln a system involving the relationship of thirteen hundred u il teacher personalities in all sorts of work, scholastic, and P P ' social situations, it is remarkable that the school operates with such effectiveness and with so little friction.
