Efficient Acliuster Cf Our Problems Our principal, who acknowledges our per- fections and minimizes our faults-Mr. R. Y. Allison. A. li.. .-X. M. Recognizing increas- ed development of the vocational guidance program as one of the school's strongest needs, he is wholeheartedly in favor of the new program. Placing the student in the right classes is an important factor in registering each stu- dent. There is no student in school whose program lllr. .-Xllison has not arranged. 'I'hroug'h his office come all contacts be- tween teacher, student, and parent. l urther contact is maintained even after students leave school, for almost every recent alumnus who applies for a job or continues his education must have his rec- ords sent from Mr. ,-Nllison's office. , -f ei J . W L Vyz l Mr. Allison s i 3 . O.. L From an area of five square miles in the center of Kankakee County come most of the students of 'Kankakee High. Since 1865, when the district was first organized, the city schools have heen administered by a board of six inemhers. Two meinhers are elected each August. President of the board is Mr. Alfred Beaumontg clerk, Mr. Ed Hoennicke. For students outside the district attend- ing Kankakee High, the school receives 510.000 in tuition. The principal sources of financial support of the high school, how- ever, are local taxes and state aid. The yearly revenue of the city school system totals 2iS2Sl.000. Of this amount, 3210.000 is derived from local school tax and the rest from state funds. Board of Education Nlr. 'I'olson. Mr Mr. Allison, Page 7 S e ate d lett to right: Nlr. Henni- mont. Xlr.
