The Faculty The school year of 1938-39 saw a reorganization in the office force. Mr. Edwin B. Long came from Millersburg to fill the ofhce of superintendent of schools, left vacant after the death of Mr, Van Scoten. Mr. D. D. Brandt who formerly held the position of principal and Dean of Boys was relieved of his deanship in order to devote all of his time to the duties required of him as principal. Mr. G. Haggerty was appointed as dean of boys in his place. Miss Margaret Stauffer, dean of girls, started on her second year in this position. The teachers of the Iunior and Senior High Schools represent many colleges, and every department of the school curriculum is headed by an instructor specially trained in the subject matter of that department. In the last few years the shop and agricultural depart- ments and the girls' home economics course have increased in size and broadened in scope. Miss Bessie Bear, the school librarian, was music instructor first in the grades and then in the Iunior High School. She has been privileged to watch the school in all respects. having remained here longer than any other member of the faculty. The work of these well-trained artisans is shown on the following pages by the accom- plishments and extra-curricular activities of the students. Any attainments of the student body have been made possible only through the efficient faculty. Mr. E. ll. Long, A.B., AJI.

Boorof of Directors Parker H. Kuhns . . President Howard B. Heinaman . Vice-president Mrs. Margaret E. Simpson . . Secretary George E. Hurst .... Treasurer Guy H. Lucas W. Fisher I. Heiks Paul These seven members of the Mechanicsburg Board of Directors are sometimes akin to the proverbial 'Aforgotten man, as regards the students' knowledge of them at least. However, the actions taken by our capable school board often smooth out difficulties or effect splendid improvements to increase the pleasures of our school life. The members of the board of directors are outstanding citizens of Mechanicsburg elected to this position by the voters of the town. At each of the elections, which are held at two-year intervals, two new members are chosen to serve for six years. In December the president and the vice- president of the board are elected for a one-year term each. The secretary has a term of four years. and the treasurer, one yearg both are elected in Iune. Some of the duties of the school board are to hire teachers, set the mill rate, authorize repairs or additions to the schools, and handle the school district finances. Wise decisions and careful planning followed by suitable actions have been employed by our very efficient board of directors throughout the entire time of its existence. Fourteen
