FACULTY FIRST ROW (1. to r.): Worner, Fort, Sitter, Hughes, Grimmer, Coen. SECOND ROW (i. to r.): Shull, Kitowski, Keyes, Boyd, Nicol. (Miss Ravnaas, absent). This year’s faculty seems to be one of the most well-balanced our high school has had in a number of years. All are well qualified as to training and experience for their particular job in ac- cordance with the requirements of the accrediting agencies, the University and the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Four of the above faculty members have master’s de- grees. The group of teachers has worked together in harmony and has the pupils’ interest at heart. Each has brought to Maroa High School objectives and view points from many of the leading educa- tional institutions in the United States, such as, Columbia University, Illinois Wesleyan University, lowa State College, Millikin University, Normal University, Ripon College, Southern Illinois University, Universities of Colorado, Ulinois, lowa, Wisconsin, and Western Kentucky State College. An efficient school secretary is a valuable aid in the smooth running of a school. Faith in the school set-up, pleasing per- sonality, patience, a fund of detailed information, ability to meet people, accuracy in all work, and being well liked by all seem to sum up many of the attributes of a good secretary. Charlotte Creekmur Earles fits into the above category. CHARLOTTE CREEKMUR EARLES Ten

(Absent: Walters) This is an historic picture inasmuch as this is the first school board elected by the people under the new community unit school district plan recently passed by the state legislature. We realize the numerous problems which have arisen under the new unit set-up. We believe that they have tackled these various problems in the fairest manner possible after discussing pro and con the merits of each decision. We realize many problems still confront them. but we do know, and feel, that they always will try to work for the best interests and needs of the boys and girls, end for the benefit of the community unit district as a whole. We thank them for all they have done for us. To them we look for the future progress in our school unit. “So the teacher, so the school” is an old familiar saying. Mr. Keyes, our super- intendent and principal, and Mr. Nicol, our assistant prin- cipal and agriculture in- structor, by virtue of their splendid qualifications, direct 4 our high school in a manner which is in keeping with the best principles of secondary school administration. We have learned to strive and live up to the fundamentals of a democratic life under their guidance. Many super- visors have commented fav- orably on the fine attitude and spirit in Maroa High de- veloped under their leader- ship. Nine

BUS DRIVERS fot. a ” os, , | Left to Right: Pennypacker, Marlatt, Lancaster, Bundy, Karban, Rainey. Some of the most important members of the local personnel are the school bus drivers. They are like teachers inasmuch as they have equivalent authority as to school rules and regulations. In addition, they really teach, and request of the pupils, cour- tesy, respect for the rights of others, punctuality, proper attitudes, and safety. Much time, effort, and responsibility is connected with their job. We students appreciate their cooperation. CUSTODIAN Another important member of our school personnel is our faithful custodian, Mr. Nelson ''Red ' Smith. His long period (r of service ever since the opening of the present building has been very successful. The present excellent condition and maintenance program in our school is chiefly due to his untold efforts, hard work, and long hours. We students an- preciate his cooperation. agll o Eleven = Jf Seow
