Page 12 f l F , II1tfOduCiI1gI The New Superintendent I Paul A. Rehmus is truly a man who needs no introduction, for during his one year as principal of Lakewood High school he became a friend and a confidant of the entire student body. With a firm conviction that high school pupils were capable of assuming responsibilities and duties as citizens of the school, he abol- ished the lunch pass and zero hour, allowed eating in the noon movies, and granted many other privileges respect- ing the rights of students as individuals. Calling together the faculty and Stu- dent Council in 1941, he first proposed the new program of social activities which has been so successfully carried out. During his administration work on the new stadium was brought to com- pletion. His brief space of time as principal so clearly showed his abilities and inter- est in young people that he was the log- ical man to head the Lakewood school system. Although the high school misses him, we know that he has received a position worthy of his talents.

After two and a half years' work, the new field and bleachers were dedicated on the 18th of October, 1941. Speakers at the dedication were Dr. Vredevoe, Superinten- dent Rehmus, President Crawford of the Board of Educa- tion, and District Manager Miskell of the WPA. The new bleachers seat about forty-four hundred persons. Still in the planning stage is a log cabin in which school clubs and classes may hold special programs or parties. To be made entirely through student efforts, the new club house will offer a place for healthful recreation and relaxa- tion.

l k -M I V G Fullerton, Presiden Presenting: The Board of Education I ln times as troubled and unsettled as these, a period when tomorrow seems hazy and humans grope uncertainly into the future, it might seem odd that indi- viduals whose lives and businesses claim such a great deal of attention, could feel themselves able unseliishly to assume the duties which are those of the mem- bers of the Board of Education. However, it is for the very reason that their' lives and interests are en- grossed in the community that these persons have come forward. They real- ize that the future life, not only of the community but of the nation, depends on the intelligent minds and active bodies being formed in our educational institutions. They realize that manage- ment of the school system is a patriotic duty and a vital link in our national de- fense. They realize that it is their re- sponsibility to provide the means for our future citizens to obtain that store of practical, cultural, and spiritual knowledge which will illuminate the path of tomorrow. r.
