These two men, al- though they are not members of the cast, perform the many duties which smooth out the ubumps in the roadf' making it much easier for everyone to do his level best. Qt course, they are Mr. O. M. Swihart, Superintendent of Schools, and Mr. C. E. Hinshaw, Principal of Kokomo High School. Mr. Swihart, now in his fifth year with the Kokomo School City, works with the School Board constantly to im- prove the schools in every way. Mr. Hinshaw co-operates with the di- rectors and the cast, alike, offering very helpful advice concerning their many problems, and as everyone soon discov- ers, he lives up to the A'pal part of Hprin- cipalf' To both these personable individuals, an offering of appreciation is expressed for their splendid performance.

Xl: Pile The Kokomo School Board, a policy-making body, was recently enlarged from three members to five members as Kokomo advanced to a second-class city. Under the direc- tion of this Board the ultra-modern Haworth Vocational Building was completed and K.H.S. was refurbished with the painting of the interior and installation of flourescent light Fixtures. Vkforking with the Superintendent, the Board has charge of all planning and financing of building and ex- pansion programs, fixes the rules and regulations for the school to follow, and hires teachers and other school person- nel. Another big task is making out the school budget in order to use the available funds to the best advantages. It is this Board that provides the link between the taxpayers and the School City which makes for better understanding by everyone of the aims and problems of the modern school system.

liege.-131 CONTRIBUTI G DIRECTOR DEANS OF GIRLS Contributing no little part, but the big one of friend to all who seek friendship, are Dean Audra Lindley, dean of fresh- men and sophomore girls, and Dean Estella G. QGoodQ Pearce, dean of junior and senior girls. The Deans, cueing each girl individ- ually in any special problems she has, are working together to promote better feel- ing from the students toward school. Both Deans, being members of the teach- ing faculty, are able to help the girls meet class-room problems. The girls find the answer to many of their social problems when the Deans work with them as co- directors of Girls' League. However, the Deans are never too busy to have the regular gab sessions with the girls for which the femine gen- der is well known. Deans Audra Lindley and Estella G. Pearce.
