The Board is composed of five members elected by the citizens of Toledo and chosen for their outstanding ability as business executives as well as for their interest in the public schools of our city. Any person acquainted with the extensive system of education in Toledo realizes the difficult task that confronts this execu- tive body. Our present Board consists of Dr. Norris Gillette, president, Mr. Harry Hascal, Mr.john Paul Manton, Mr. George McKesson, Mr. Grant Murray, and Miss May Foster is clerk. The school system consists of various types of schools for the different stages of education. There are forty-nine elementary schools, two junior high schools, five senior high schools, and a vocational school for the teaching of trades. In Toledo there are 33,192 elementary school children, 1948 junior high stu- dents, and 11,195 high school and vocational students. The instruction of these students is provided by 1025 elementary and junior high school teachers and 378 senior high school teachers. We are indebted to our efficient Board for the continued operation of the com- plicated mechanism of our school system during this last year when economic conditions have been so uncertain. We appreciate their untiring efforts, and we feel confident that our high standards will be maintained under their capable management. 18

MR. R. E. DUGDALE Superintendent of Schools Mr. R. E. Dugdale, our superintendent of schools, has those qualities of leadership that enable him to meet successfully the many difficult problems of our educational system. He has inaugurated many pro- gressive policies that have resulted in improved con- ditions in the schools. During these chaotic times he has succeeded in retaining the stability of our system of education. Although the present financial status has presented many obstacles, Mr. Dugdale has faced them unflinchingly. His strenuous efforts to improve school conditions have enabled our schools to main- tain the high standards for which they have always been known. 17 ,wi M -,-7.3 1 1 i l

Through their direct contact with the students and their leadership in school activities, they have great influence on the building of characters and the development of the right attitude in students. They act in the capacity of advisers, truant officers, chaperons, welfare workers, friends, and helpers. Their daily routine includes such duties as the checking of attendance and the issuance of tardy and absence excuses. They likewise assign all penalties which are served before and after school. Outside of their routine work the Deans investigate the cases of students whose attendance or conduct is irregular. These investigations provide the Deans with valuable and helpful information about the home life of the students. The Deans sometimes discover that the home conditions account for the actions of the student. Our Deans are constantly in demand as chaperons and financial advisers for the activities of their respective classes. They frequently give their experienced advice on matters concerning class memorials, class plays, and class elections. They encourage students toward higher scholastic achievements by their friendly advice and interest. We feel that we owe a great deal to our Deans for their generous co-operation and service. 19 M? 4 l l l
