S PERI TE DE T J. B. STOUT, A. B., M. A. The community of llomence in the fall of 1934 secured the services of Superintendent J. B. Stout, who had already supervised the construction of two high school buildings. This experience enabled him to act as a competent adviser during the construction of our new building. His understanding of human nature and his abiliw to cope with the individuel problems of the students make him not only e good administrator but a friendly guide to the entire student body.

BO RD O17 EDUCATIO N. P. Jensen Secretary E. E. Chipman William W. Porter President This group of men bore the brunt of making possible our beautihml new high school building. To them we extend our sincere thanks for their unceasing efforts and tireless devotion that lflomence boys and girls might have a modern plant in which to pursue their high school education. Messrs. Porter, Jensen, and Chipman served throughout the two and one-half years of planning and construction of the building. Dr. Gibson was replaced by Fr. Tall.ma.n in April 1936 and Mr. Bukowski by Mr. Parish in April 1957. It is difficult for us tc realize just how much time these men gave to visiting other schools, to making trips to Chicago, to Public Works Administration office, to conferences with architects and contractors and other duties too numerous to mention. At the same time they were responsible for maintaining a high school plant in an antiquated building. With the completion of our new plant, building problems have been reduced to a minimum, though some remain, particularly those of completing unfinished portions. The important school problem now is to inaugurate and maintain a program that will meet the needs of our students and of our community. In a complex world of rapid change new demands, therefore, are made upon the intelligence, time, and energy of board members. Theirs is indeed a difficult task. As students we appreciate the sympathetic attitude of the board toward the attempts of the faculty and students to work out our common problems on A democratic basis. F.A. Bukowski Varnum Parish Joe Tallman Dr. E. G. Gibson--January 51, 1958.--'Something attempted, something dfvne, has earned a night's repose. 5
