THE 'TOP BRASS The dream of building a bigger and better Irwin High School has become a reality dur- ing this school year i952-53. First, the joining of Irwin and North Irwin schools and second, the approval of the State Council of Education for the annexation cf the fifth ward school district has made it possible for the joint board of Irwin and North Irwin to start planning im- mediately for an addition to the present build- ing. The Board of Education and Supervising Principal Clawson have many ideas which will bring the Irwin school system up-to-date in every respect. The installation of an inter- communications system and the founding of lrwin's first kindergarten were the first steps toward this improvement. The school board, the teachers and the stu- dents cari always depend upon the able assis- tance of Mr. Dudley and Mrs. Buckley for whatever worthy proiect they attempt. The high standard that Irwin has attained and its successes of the future are secure in the hands of these loyal administrators. Qlamcs L. Dudley, our busy, kindly assistant principal, who always has time for our problems. 0Rornayne Buckley, our school secretary, whose patience is remarkable ond whose sense of humor is the best.

A MINISTRATION Clawson plan to cement lrwin and N. lrwin The momentum which has been built into our school during the past seven years compels every member of our organization to maintain a superlative performance at all times. Aca- demic honors, publications citations, athletic championships and forensic achievements, fre- quently on a national and state level, will per- mit no effort of less intensity. With North Irwin and Penglyn students join- ing us and with an additional building almost assured, it behooves all of us to react dynami- cally and with permanence to the theme of this year's Carillon-Get on the Bandwagon for a Bigger and Better Irwin High School.

FACULTY OUR JU DGES APPLAUDED US A jointure was necessary to make lrwin a bigger school, but the teachers have always been on the bandwagon to make it better. lt is our old standbys plus new faculty members who with their warm friendship, thoughtful advising and wise counseling have helped to do this. Let's look at the group in the office. Mrs. Stauffer is the one on the left. One of her original ideas, the Rogue's Gallery, was excep- tionally popular at the Circus. She checked in the freshmen girls and enjoyed it. Strangely enough, she preferred teaching sophomore and junior English to art. Perfection is always her goal. 'MRS STAUFFER, MISS GALLAGHER, MISS HERSHEY, and MR. SHIRLEY discuss the merits of visual education.
