Nearly l3,000 students and approximately 700 employees in 28 schools are under their supervision. The aims of school administration should be to improve learning conditions for pupils and working conditions for all employees, ac- cording to Dr. Willey, who is responsible for the practical and fundamental offerings in the school system. The effects of curricular im- provements may not be obvious for a few years, but immediately visible results of his work are the redecoration and lighting which provide more advantageous studying condi- tions at Lincoln High School. The task of coordinating the work of all supervisors and instructors is the concern of Dr. Iames Pelley. 'lThe administration always wants to promote greater use of new tools for instruction and learning, says Dr. Pelley. l'This year the system has been modernized by the promotion of audio-visual education. These advancements are timed and coordi- nated under his direction. Through just such planning for the future the school system of the city of Lincoln each year presents to the community well prepared citizens, who may look ahead to successful lives.

rogram lrector o e o Front and center! Into the spotlight steps H. C. Mardis, the man of the hour .... Mr. Mardis is often called upon to act as author, director, and even as announcer. He writes the prologue to many a career with his sound decisions on school policy. As principal of Lincoln High School, Mr. Mardis, in no small way, has made this school an important factor leading to suc- cess for many students. His counsel and decisions are of benefit to pupils, not only while they attend L. H. S., but long after they have graduated, gone on to advanced schools, and established careers. Director Mardis states, 'lThe school tries to provide subjects that will fill the needs of the Lincoln High student, not subjects which merely fill five hours. Under his direction, this aim of Mr. Mardis is carried out, for in addition to the essential 3 R's, there are subjects which not only teach students what they need to know, but teach them in an interesting and often entertaining manner. Plnnouncing the schedule of the day, Mr. Mardis takes his place as news commentator to broadcast over Station L.H.S. Whether it's a very important as- sembly or a club announcement that affects only a few, Mr. Mardis is willing to report it. Day after day, he has given his time and energy to make Lincoln High School one of the outstanding preparatory schools of the state. Under his leadership and through his planning and never-ceasing interest in the school and the student, Lincoln High can look forward to becoming an even greater school. Mr. H. C.
