'sThe spirit behind the spirit can well be applied to the School Board of the Mechanicsburg High School because it acts as the guiding spirit of all M. H. S. activities. Most ofthe students do not realize that this group is indirectly responsible for everything which occurs in M. H. S. They are responsible for the hiring and firing of the teaching staff, they grant permission to classes and organizations to hold parties and dances in the school, and they act as trustees of the school treasury. MR. HEINAMAN, President Some concrete evidences of the work of the Board having a direct ejfect on the school life of every M. H. S. student are: enlarging the office by converting Room II into the Superintendent's office, making an office for Mr. Brandt and Mr. Haggerty, and installing the sound system. Although the Board was not directly responf sible for the installation of the sound system, without their approval it could not have been put in the school. The willingness of the Board to favor any action that will improve Mechanicsburg High School, their interest in keeping it well equipped, and the fact that all the members serve without receiving any salary prove that the power behind this organization is The Spirit of M.

Which course shall I take this year? Would you advise me to take French or Latin? May I have permission to leave the building? To which college would you advise me to go? This is only a sample of the questions asked every day by the pupils of M. H. S. of the four people in the ojjice who are known as the Administration. ig Four Although the duties of the Principal, the Superf intendent and the Deans are many and varied, these four are striving primarily for one purpose, which is that each and every student in M. H. S. may get as much as he possibly can out of high school life. They do this by answering questions of the students,4quesf tions similar to those listed aboveP-, by giving the pupils advice on any of their problems and by cooperaf ting with all of the events and activities of the school. It is by this spirit of willingness to help and cof operate that the Administration proves they are really a perfect example ofthe Spirit of M. H. S. PERSONNEL Superintendent . . . .... E. B.
