BOARD OF EDUCATION—Top, L. to R-: Mr. Nastasi, Mr. Chadbournc, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Gunther. Bottom, L. to R.: Mr. Boklan, Mrs. Gurney, Mr. Rcinhard, Mr. Clukics. The Mepham High School Board of Education consisted of two representatives from each of the four districts. It had the responsibdity of formulating policies and of seeing that these policies were effectively carried out. This year, in addition to its usual duties, the Board was faced with the problem of providing facilities for a fast-growing school population at both the junior and senior high school levels. We feel that the working out of this problem was in capable and conscientious hands. BOARD OFFICERS—Mrs. Bingham, Mrs. Baldwin, Mr. Morris. board oj (Education NORTH MERRICK MR. R.

Mr. Calhoun JU m in is tra tion Under the capable supervision of our principal, Mr. Sanford H. Calhoun, the reputation of Mepham High School has grown to such proportions that we enjoy an enviable reputation both academically and in extracurricular activities. Mr. Calhoun was born at Troy, N.Y., where he went to high school. Upon graduation he attended St. Lawrence University, from which he received a Bachelor of Science degree. He then attended Columbia University, where he received a Master of Arts degree. In 193 5 he came to Mepham as its first principal, and he has been in constant administrative position since, except for the years 1942 to 1946, during which time he served as a captain in the U.S. Army Air Force. Our assistant principal, Mr. Eugene E. Hallen-beck, also graduated from St. Lawrence University, where he earned his Master of Arts degree. During Mr. Calhoun’s absence for military service, Mr. Hallenbeck did an admirable job as acting principal. In his position as assistant principal Mr. Hallenbeck checks daily attendance records, makes P. A. announcements, is in charge of student programs and the G. O., and acts in a general supervising capacity in the absence of Mr. Calhoun. The constant and untiring efforts of both these men contribute greatly to make Mepham High School the smoothly running organization that it is. Mr. Hallenbeck Page nine
