D J B CNE Director of the Lorain Public Schools Mr. D. Boone has for the past twenty years wielded the baton that directs 'the Lo- rain Public Schools. As the director of a symphony orchestra sets the rhythm and tempo for his musiciansg so has he guided the development and progress of our educa- tional system. The keynote of our Superintendent's high attainment has been perseverance and an endless ambition to reach the highest note of success. Q It was in 1900 that Mr. Boone was offered the principalship of Garden Avenue School and later that of our high school. Mr. Boone attended Cornell and Columbia Universities and was awarded his Bachelor of Science Degree from Mt. Union College.

N D ecto of Lorain Highschool Mr. P. C. Bunn, who for twenty years has been the Director of Lorain High School, has ever striven for a closer symphony of the school. He has found discords and harmony, the first, he has patiently tried to cor- rect, and the second, to praise. He leads his chorus of pupils over their high and low notes, always aiming for a perfect symphony which none but the best master can accomplish. But before reaching this position as leader in the schools he first must have attained much skill in leader- ship and this is produced only by long and persevering practice. He received the Bachelor of Arts degree from Wooster college, and the Mas- ter of Arts degree from Columbia University. Mr. Bunn,s experience includes many fields of public edu- cation, he has served as an element- ary teacher, as a high school teacher, as a superintendent of schools, and as a high school principal. He has watched his number of sharps and flats grow from less than five hundred to more than two thou-- sand, during which time he has as- sisted two decades of pupils to mas- ter the art of education.
