The Board, in turn, appoints the superintendent who leads them in solving problems such as school finances, personnel, instruction, and physical property. As progressive leaders, they have brought our school system to its present high rating. We are confident that in the future they will continue to build a finer educational system for the coming generations. THE SCHOOL BOARD Mr. F. M. Lacy, Mr. bl. R. English, Mr. M. L.

S AFF August marked the beginning of the work of the Business Staff. Our efficient and able business manager, Buddy llanes, as- sisted by Grady Moore, Costello XXfashburn, Skippy Turner, Judy Barnes. Frances McDaniel, and Kennon Wliittle could be found at almost any time around the advertising departments of stores. Their high-pressure sales talks left few with the will or strength to resist them. This resulted in our having a larger ad section than any other MAVAHI. Not only was the job of the Business Staff to solicit ads, but their duties also took them to the homerooms where Mary Evelyn Richardson, Ann XX'ooldridge and Howard Oakley received subscrip- tions for the annual. Their next task was presenting the daily re- minders to the students that they must pay for them. Here it must also be noted that very little could have been achieved with- out the capable assistance of the sponsors, Miss Laura Kreger, Miss Mary Ann Pace, and Miss Frances Smith. Photography, too, prt-dominated the first part of their work. fr. . ix . Q ' BUDDY N128 Hll,l'flIL'.l,l' illufluger Arranging the various groups for their pictures and nervously awaiting the proofs created much interest from the beginning. Sabra Scott, Marie l.avinder, and Polly Newman assisted in this work as well as with the picture identifications. Then came the last task, collecting for the ads, and all efforts were concentrated in that direc- tion. This done, it was with a sigh of relief that the Business Staff looked forward to viewing the result ofa job well done.

XVithout taking any bows, they perform them etlieiently antl unerringly. Plotting the course of so many pupils, atlvising, antl atlministering, they have much to keep them oeeupietl. One of their main tluties is listening to the woes .intl wails of various intlivitluals antl solv- ing their problems as fairly as possible. These range from stutlents' antl teachers' eomplaints about eaeh other to the questions of worrietl parents. XY'hen one eonsitlers all that goes on in the ollice in one tlay, it is a wonder that anything comes out straight.
