GORDON G. HUMBERT Ohio State University Superintendent of Schools OUR SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Four years ago a new superintendent of schools, Mr. Gordon G. Humbert, came to Lima. Since that time Mr. Humbert has successfully carried out the 30,000 specific jobs that belong to a superintendent of schools. Before coming to Lima Mr. Humbert spent several years as teacher of social studies, modern problems, history, economics and geography, as a basketball and baseball coach, and as high school principal in the public schools of Ohio. He was principal of Lima South for two years before he became superintendent of the Lima Public Schools. He has also been active in many other organizations-the Red Cross, Y.M.C.A., Boy Scouts, Rotary Club-and is a member of Ohio Superintendents Association, Board of Directors of Lima Visiting Nurses, and Kappa Delta Pi. P This year, besides all his other activities, Mr. Humbert has been busy working on plans for the new high school. In his leisure time he likes to hunt and fish. Reading and ath- letics are also two favorite hobbies. To the seniors of 1951, Mr. Humbert says: About the future of the members of the class of 1951 I can only speculate because I do not possess the wisdom with which to de- termine what effect the experiences of this revolutionary era have had on your basic beliefs, your attitudes, and your will to succeed by your own boot-straps. I can say with great assur- ance that no one owes you a living. It is my fervent hope that this chaotic period has not caused you to lose historical perspective. I hope that you will possess in far greater measure than any past graduating class convictions and beliefs so profound and so lasting that the clouds of despair and hunger and war which hover over people of all races everywhere will be dispelled by new rays of hope and faith and the eternal blessings of our Creator.

BOARD OF EDUCATION One of the most important groups at Central High School is perhaps one of the least heard about. This group is the Board of Education. ln cooperation with the Lima Teachers Association the board takes care of anything and everything that comes up in connection with the Lima Public Schools. They employ all personnel and also set up the general policies which govern all the schools. In addition to transacting the business of the schools. the board has spent much of its time during this past year discussing plans for the new senior high school. Every fourth Tuesday at 7:00 p. m. you can find this group of hard-working people in the Board of Education rooms at Central High School. Their officers are as follows: president -Alfred L. Simmonsg vice-president-Dr. H. R. Stallbohmg clerk--E. J. Ward.
