U Q c 1 'Y' M' 'W 3v 0 L A vigorous, growing school system is the living proof of a pro- gressive, dynamic community. On fanuary 27, l95l, the citizens of Mehlville approved, by a substantial margin, a 3208000 bond issue to finance the building program, now in progress. Although not designed to bring expansion to the Senior High School, the building program will provide for a new cafeteria and several new junior high classrooms at the south end of the High School, in addition to other improvements at Forder School for the elementary grades. The nation is becoming more aware of the importance of ade- quate education in these troubled times. The need for educational improvement is mounting with each passing year. The task of expanding the physical facilities of the schools demands immediate attention. It is gratifying to know that the citizens of this district have responded to that urgent need. To those who build for Americas tomorrowg to those who reply to need with actionp to the citizens of the School District of Mehlville, this l95l REFLECTOR is humbly dedicated. Pagf' Firm'

5441. B1-:'uza'zcl Principal Bierhenni His friendly approach is his secret weaponf' his great respect for the dignity of others is his mode of gaining respect from others: his methodical endeavors underscore his efficiency. Mr. K. O. Bierbaum, principal of Mehlville High School, through his firm yet friendly guidance, has earned the respect and loyalty of students and adults with whom he has dealings. After graduating from McKendree College, Mr. Bierbaum received his master's degree from Washington University. Mr. Bierbaum origin- ally taught science and mathematics classes, but his present duties as principal occupy all of his time. However, this pre-occupation with administrative duties does not prevent him from attending basketball games, where he is a regular in attendance. He also serves as business adviser for the REFLECTOR. Superintendent Bernard If quality and quantity of service, degree of sincerity, and extent of devotion to one's chosen life-work are true criteria of success in life, then Meh1vi1le's Superintendent Emil H. C. Bernard has ct goodly store of it. His impressive record of 38 years of service to the community seems remarkable. He was a teacher in past years. He later combined classroom and administra- tive duties, serving as teacher, principal, and superintendent at one time in his career. He has truly eamed the respect of his community in terms of service rendered. Mr. Bernard has attended Perkinson-Herple Commercial College, Southeast Missouri State College, and Missouri University. From the latter he received his bachelor's degree. He has done post-graduate work at Washington University. Combining his rich background of exper- ience, his natural ability to make friends, and his innate ability to become a part of any situa- tion, Mr. Bernard goes efficiently about his duties as chief administrator of a growing, ex- panding school district. As the years roll by, he adds to his store of experience, knowledge, and good will. allffz. Biszgaunz Page Six
