There are five charming and hardworking secretaries who keep the Superintendent's and the high school offices running smoothly. Mrs. Margaret Chaffee, who was elected as of January. 194ft, to fill Mrs. Young's position as Secretary of the School Hoard, is also the chief clerk in Dr. Abbott’s office. Assisting Dr. Abbott arc Mrs. Margaret S. Flynn, a former graduate of Lansdowne. who works in the morning, and Jennifer Maryanski. a fortunate senior commercial student, who takes her place in the afternoon. Mr. Moore’s secretary is friendly Miss Nada Gelletich, who is kept busy all day long w ith answering the telephone, typing, and helping to solve the many and varied problems of our students. Relieving her at lunch time and assisting in the afternoons is Susie McQuaid. another qualified senior girl from the commercial department. Although we deeply regret “Lncle Fred I nder-hill's resignation as president of the Hoard of F.d-ucation, it is good to hear of his promise to keep his “office” as Lansdowne’s most faithful sports sj ectator and rooter. The pleasant smile of popular Mrs. Young is also greatly missed by faculty and students. Among the newly elected members are Mr. Stevens, Dr. Arnold. Mr. Maher and Mrs. Chaffee who carry on the work with Mr. Fetter, as president. Mrs. Tullar. Mrs. Larson and Mr. W illis. Miss i ada Gelletich Mrs. Margaret Chaffee

Mrs. Christ, and Miss McCullough help us to work out our personal problems by a study of plots, characters, motives and complications arising in the best written books. The modern school without a good library is an anachronism. Our librarian. Miss Schaefer, is very helpful to students working in research. Learning to understand foreign people, their languages and habits, not only acquaints Americans with different ways of living but also points out in relief our own weaknesses as well as strong points. This invaluable material Miss Cook. Miss Hoopes. Miss diGiovanni. and Mrs. Braughler endeavor to make clear through Latin. French, and Spanish. In the scientific department. Mr. Kleckner. Mr. Eplev. and Mr. McClure demonstrate the practical- ity and need of school science in everyday life. A study of the Presidential campaign and an analysis of our economic problems and contrast of our society with other lands are scrutinized in the social studies classes conducted by Mr. Jones. Mr. Snyder. Mr. Drake and Mr. Richards. In preparation for daily practical problems mathematics is fundamental.
