Looking at Lutesville Public School records academic- ally, we see that it has one of the largest enrollments in its history with 237 inhigh school and 232 in grade school. In helping the students to accomplish more, there are fifteen teachers in high school and six in grade school, which also helps the school in its offering of 41 different subjects. On the campus we have five buildings, and have had a AA rating for three years. On October 22, 1953, the school purchased another building which vyill be remodeled and converted into a home economics cottage as soon as possible. One new teacher, Mr. Richard Elfrink, and three new subjects, school publications, secretarial practice, and drivers training were added this year in order that the students may have a better and well rounded education. 7

PARLIAMENT Leo Cooper, Service Station owner; Roy Underwood, Automobile dealer; Avery Crites, Standard agent; John Chandler, Twin City Dairy; Joe Reilly, Farmer; J. R. Neal, Banker. First, let's look at this picture which comprises the Lutesville Board of Education. These men are interested in the best possible education for our youth, and gave un- tiringly of their time and effort to that goal. Could that be the reason LF1S has been classified as an A A school for several years? Yes, partly, but let us move down to the lower picture and see two men who are more directly responsible for this achievement--Mr. Cobble, our superintendent, and Mr. Wells, our principal. These progressive administrators provided for our students an expanding curricula, many extra-curricular activities, and other experiences that developed well-rounded stu- dents, and at the same time brought distinction to our school. Delmar Cobble, Superintendent; Webster Wells, Principal. 6

AGRICULTURE-VOCATIONAL Mr. Wesley O. Proffer B.S. in Education This is the fourth year Vocational Agriculture has been taught in Lutesville High. With an organization like this it takes more than one or two years to build it up, but this year marks one of the most prosperous for this class. Land was donated for chapter use this yearand equipment was also furnished by the differ- ent implement dealers to farm the land. This gave the members a chance to further train themselves in the skill of farming. The class has also taken part in many other activities; there were teams sent to the sub-district in Parliamentary Procedure, Dairy Judging and Farm Mechanics. They also entered in the state wide Ford Plowing contest. Mr. Kenneth Schreiner receiving his honorary de- gree pin from chapter president, Robert Dixon, at the Parent and Son Banquet, March 19.
