ADMINISTRATION MR. CHARLES GEMMILL Supervising Principal As head of the New Cumberland schools for twenty- three years, Mr. Gemmill has played an active part in keeping the school plant up to present day needs. The working plans for various additions to the building were drawn up by this capable supervisor. His chief task at the present is getting construction underway on the new junior high school building. During his adminis- tration school enrollment has doubled. Student council, guidance program, school newspaper, intramurals, a11d band are credited to his far-sighted program. To his old-time hobbies of photography, fishing, and garden- ing, he has recently added pottery making and ceramics. MR. S. P. BOMGARDNER Principal As a member of the faculty since 1925, Mr. Bomgardner has devoted much of his time to curriculum and student schedules. An ever-growing student body and course of study make his yearly task of schedule building more difficult. All attendance and discipline problems are in his hands. Each fall he contacts all seniors to check required graduation credits. All plans for meeting representatives of colleges conducting tests or offering scholarships to seniors are made by him. Frequently his opinion is sought by personnel heads in industry or registrars in colleges on recommendations for jobs or scholarships. Reading and gardening are his favorite hobbies. 13
