COORDINATOR OF INTRA-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ELBERTE D . AY SUPERINTENDENT DAY IS LOCAL COORDINATOR FOR ALL SCHOOL ACTIVITIES This year, as in the past, Superintendent Elbert E. Day has again successfully super- vised the Marion City Schools. Wfar time changes have made Superintendent Dayas Work more diflicult, but he has met new problems with the same skill and foresight he has shown in his 20 years with our schools. Many of Marion,s students do not realize the importance of a superintendent to our school system. He makes the school budget and selects the personnel to carry out the details of his planning. His main job is to supervise methods, texts, courses, instruc- tion, and employment. It is due largely to his efficiency that our schools have function- ed properly along these lines. u Mr. Day Was born in Markle, Indiana. He attended Marion High School and after graduating he attended Marion Normal College, Columbia University and Indiana University. It was at Indiana University that he obtained his A.B. and A.M. degrees. Mr. Day, before coming to Marion, was a teacher in various Indiana schools for eighteen yearsg then was director of teacher training in Toledo, Ohio. He also served at Tri-State Teachers' College at Angola, Indiana, and at Indiana University. Mr. Day is very active in educational organizations throughout the state and na- tion, among those in which he has partici- pated are the National Education Associa- tion, the American Association of School Administrators and Indiana Schoolmen's Club. Mr. Day Was for several years on the executive committee of the Indiana State Teachers' Association. He also takes active part in civic affairs. Wfe, the students of Marion High School, would like personally to express our thanks to Superintendent Day for his fine Work. However, since this is impossible, We wish to express our thanks as a group through our representative, the Cactus. ikgir
