Its dairy products, for example, surpass in quantity and quality those of all other states. Politically and economically our state has become one of the best examples of the success of democracy.

True, they have helped in development, but are not the primary reason. All the millions of people who have worked, saved, and planned for our Wisconsin of today, all those who pioneered in agriculture and industry, and all those who have gone on from where those pioneers left off, all deserve our expressions of gratitude for our present state of well-being.

TheAdm1n1strat1nn MR. HAROLD B. MENNES Superintendent of Schools MR. MENNES Mr. H. B. Mennes, our Superintendent of Schools, has had a very busy year. He attended many conferences and meetings at which educational leaders discussed problems and present-day trends in education. At Atlantic City, New Jersey, he attended the American Association of School Administrators' Convention. In Chicago, he met with other school representatives at the North Central Association of High Schools. He is a member of the Cur- riculum Planning Group of the State of Wisconsin and chairman of the Northeastern Wisconsin Administrators' Association. Revision and improvement of the teachers' salary schedule, the selection and placement of personnel, and the planning of an im- proved program of education for the Neenah schools have resulted in a busy schedule for Mr. Mennes. In addition to these tasks, Mr. Mennes has worked in close harmony with the Board of Education preparing and outlining a building program and preparing the school budget for the year. Due appreciation and gratitude should go to the Board of Educa- tion and to Mr. Mennes for their untiring efforts as the men behind the wheel of education in Neenah.
