Our Board of Directors has unselfishly devoted much of its time and resources to make certain that this training will be of the best, and that our students will be prepared to assume responsibility in their future lives with every preparation and advantage necessary for success.

Superintendent ol' the Jeannette DR. F. B. SNOWDEN Public Schools MR. JOHN MACLAY Principal of the Jeannette High School Dr. Snowden Behind the scenes busily directing school affairs and actively engaging in community service organizations is Dr. Foster B. Snow- den, Superintendent of Public Schools. Dr. Snowden has been with us for only two years, coming here from East Conemaugh in 1938. But in that short space of time he has made many friends and acquaint- ances in Jeannette. His organization mem- berships include the American Association of School Administrators, Rotary Club and a life membership in the National Educa- tion Association. He is intensely interested in welfare and religious work and is an able driver when it comes to raising money for a worthy cause. By his tireless efforts, Dr. Snowden has brought about many changes and improvements to our school. He has always been a loyal and active booster of clean sportsmanship and has lent his assistance to widening and develop- ing our athletic and health education pro- gram. We shall always consider him a competent executive, considerate adviser, and, what is more important, a real friend. xx .1,....- Mr. Maclay The man with whom many students make the most frequent contacts is Mr. John Maclay Jr., principal of Jeannette High School. Visitors, salesmen and par- ents are referred to him, and he is always willing to help them in any way he can. Supercilious slackers, conduct caper-cut- ters and serious students seeking scholastic salvation go to him for correction and aid. He is quick to offer his services or provide a solution for a problem. Mr. Maclay has been at Jeannette High School since 1923, at which time he taught chemistry and was head of the science department. His hard work and good nature won for him the position of principal in 1929. He is a mem- ber of the Kiwanis Club, American Legion, Association of Secondary School Principals, and is especially proud of his membership in the American Guild of Organists. Through his willingness, kindness and co- operation, Mr. Maclay has endeared him- self in the hearts of everyone in the high school and will be remembered many years after our graduation. ELEV EN
