School Administration JOHN E. BECK Supervising Principal B. S., California State Teachers M. E., University of Pittsburgh EDWARD J. BOULDIN High School Principal B. S., Waynesburg College M. E.. University of Pittsburgh This year was a momentous one for the administration. Both Mr. Beck and Mr. Bouldin assumed their duties as the administrators of the newly formed Laurel Valley Joint School District at the beginning of the 1952 — 53 school term. Laurel Valley’s supervising principal, Mr. John E. Beck, deserves considerable credit for the successful operation of the five district jointure. Through his untiring efforts many problems affecting the jointure have been solved. With his easy-going disposition he has made many friends. Mr. Beck's office is in New Florence. Mr. Edward J. Bouldin, Laurel Valley's competent high school principal, is always ready to give friendly and helpful advice to any student who seeks aid. Mr. Bouldin has capably and wisely guided the students through the many phases of their high school life. Mr. Bouldin's office is in Bolivar. Miss Peggy Boyle is employed in Mr. Beck's office, and Miss Alice Hendricks, in Mr. Bouldin's office. These school administrators are among the best, and the student body fully appreciates their services. Mr. Beck and Ml . Bouldin have constantly worked for the benefit and welfare of the entire Laurel Valley Joint School District. Without their efforts the Laurel Valley Locomotive and its passengers would not have ridden so smoothly.
