Administration and Faculty Theyiee the ones who make the wheels go 'Pound . . What would school be without Mr. Legg's Don't you have a ninth period class? and without the perpetual line at Miss Parolini's desk? It's these little things, and others like them that will stick in the minds of the students. The actual teach- ing to Which they were exposed will soon give way, in the students' memories, to the club sponsoring or coaching of their favorite faculty members. At work and at play, the faculty are always there to give friendly guidance, and, you know, they're really quite human.

Superintendent Frank L. Holmes University of Kansas B.S. Northwestern University lVl.A. Administrative . . In the three years that Superintendent Holmes has been at the helm of Maine Township High School, he and the Board of Education have made many changes for the better. Among these accomplishments, Mr. Holmes looks with special pride to the im- provements in the school's curriculum. He feels that education is the prime function of any school, frivolities must be secondary to the real task of helping young people meet problems of the constantly changing world. To do this, the school must be the educational center of the entire community, and in the post-war world the scope of its influence should not be limited from eight in the morning to four at night, or to a bare nine months of the year. Modern educa- tion, says Mr. Holmes, must provide a co- ordinated program whose purpose shall be educating youths and adults for a fuller life in a better world. Other additions are the excellent gui- dance program, the new plan whereby each teacher plays an important role in determining general school policies, and the commendable improvement of our fin- ances. Mr. Holmes likes also to think of how Maine's evening classes, with sixty to a hundred full or part time teachers, have trained more than ten thousand Douglas workers in the last fifteen months.
