ADMINISTRATION Ay Dr. Young Terminates First Year einer. ee Si Terminating his first complete year in Mishawaka PILLARS 0 pomp FREEDOS 5 as superintendent, Dr. John J. Young serves as a wise, competent technical advisor to the school’s 4 policy-making group, the Board of School Trustees. a=. = An important position of public trust, the office of superintendent necessitates Dr. Young's working with the other administration officials, the faculty, and the students in order to form a smooth-running school system. 4 ' 4 At the close of his first year, Dr. Young still remembers the friendly reception tendered him by the people of Mishawaka. Although now an old friend to him, the unfamiliar building greatly impressed the new superintendent as it does most newcomers. After a thorough study of Mishawaka’s educa- tional problems, Dr. Young finds that one which is now particularly pressing in the grade schools will soon concern the high school. This is the in- crease in enrollment due to the expanding popula- tion and the rising birth rate. Although high school enrollment is small now because of the low birth rate of the depression, the number of high school students to come is swinging upward. This points to a need to increase the space for vocational work and to expand the personnel guidance staff. Along with other improvements, these will come with time and money. With extensive training and experience behind him, Dr. Young is well prepared for his work. His degrees include an A.B., Indiana State Teachers’ College, M.A., University of Wisconsin, and Ph.D.., New York University. Joun J. Younc Superintendent Finances and Maintenance The chief duties of Mr. Gerald Neff, who held the new post of Assistant Superintendent, concerned the management of the schools’ financial affairs. The pay- roll and other school expenditures were paid by his office. Club finances underwent his scrutiny since he acted as controller for the Board of Control. Mr. Neff holds a B.S., Manchester College and a M.S., Indiana University. Improvements and new equipment for M.H.S. were secured through Director of Plant Operation and Maintenance, Mr. Lowell Yaw. New paint jobs, mod- ern tiling on the library floor, and twentieth century desks brightened the school. Mr. Yaw received his train- ing at Indiana State Teachers’ College where he earned Lowrett D. Yaw Greratp R. NEFF B.S. and M.S. degrees. Director of Maintenance Assistant Superintendent (6)
