Barton Boys' Vice-Principal With the finest faculty ever this year our educa- tional program is the best ever, we believe. With the recent survey as a guide, fourteen committees have been hard at work all year long evaluating our present curriculum and making recommendations to improve it. This can only result in a far better cur- riculum that will more nearly meet all the needs of our students. Getting back into our beautiful audi- torium made us all happy. To know that it is now re-built and safe is a comfort to all. v- ---- - f--- --H- Principal Planning for all the remainder of our new or re- modeled buildings has gone on constantly all year, and now some new construction will soon be under way. When all is completed Leuzinger will have a beautiful, adequate, well staffed and well equipped school for 2400 students that all of us can be very proud ot. All this takes the co-operation and help of par- ents, students, teachers, board of trustees and admin- istration, To all of you our sincere thanks.
