Class Officers • During the third week of the month of October the class of 1939 began a very eventfful and successful year by choosing their officers. They elected Jack Davis, president; Martha Hale, vice-president; Joan Hyatt, secretary and Dick Durr, treasurer. The high- light of the year, for the graduating class, was the Senior Hop which was held early in June. Under the able leadership of Marilyn Frye, presi- dent; and her assisting officers John Rodger, vice- president; Marion Brown, secretary; and Jack Wiese, treasurer, the junior class has been busily engaged accepting the responsibilities of upper classmen. The Junior Prom held at the close of the year was proof of the capabilities of this class. Largely responsible for the two successful parties held by the sophomore class were their class officers Chuck Stillman, president; Lois Waage, vice-presi- dent; Eleanor LaBonte, secretary; and Jim Wiggles- worth, treasurer. The freshmen elected for honorary leaders Bob Drucker, president; Happy Chiquoine, vice-president; Bob Davis, treasurer; and Sis Tideman, secretary.

MR. PETERSON MR. BALLMAN MRS. ALDR1CH MR. BARNETT MR. MLLFORD Board of Education • The Board of Education is an especially im- portant group connected with the administration of the affairs of New Trier High School. It is their difficult task to see that all school activities function properly. This group has done splendid work in coordinating these activities and maintaining the high standing for which the school is noted. Within the Board of Education there are three committees, all of equal importance: the Financial Committee, the Educational Committee, and the Building and Grounds Committee. During the past year this governing body has been led by Mr. Barnett and ably assisted by Mrs. Aldrich, Mr. Ballman, Mr. Peterson, and Mr. Mulford who is retiring. Mr. Mulford • New Trier High School has been most fortunate in having a man who has been as interested in help- ing to guide the destinies of the school, as Mr. Mul- ford. He is a man of splendid character, gracious personality, and was untiring in his efforts toward the advancement of New Trier, in educational and recreational activities. We cannot help but have the utmost regard for our friend and benefactor. Mr. Mulford retired from the Board of Education in April of this year, having served as chairman of the Education Committee. Our new building and beautiful natatorium repre- sent but two of the many accomplishments gained through his interest and influence. Among his numerous activities, he was instru- mental in devising a plan whereby it was possible to collect taxes during the uncertain days of the depression; thus assuring the continued operation of New Trier. He was also responsible for installing better business methods in the school, and was the guiding light in the promotion of vocational guidance. The realization that Mr. Mulford will no longer be actively engaged in the immediate problems of the school fills us with deep regret. ADVISER CHAIRMEN Mr. C. W. Reiley, Mr. Samuel Vernon, Miss Alma Hurst, Miss Ella Shaw, Mr. Frederick A. Kahler, Miss Helen Maloney, Mr. A. L. Grinnell, Miss Lucille Brady.

MR. FRISBIE Sponsor MR. GANNAWAY Assistant Sponsor Tri-Ship for Boys Citizenship • Sportsmanship • Fellowship • Thirteen years ago, in order to promote citizen- ship, sportsmanship and fellowship throughout the school and the community, the Tri-Ship Club of New Trier was organized. Every boy is automatically a member of this club upon entering school, and it is the endeavor of the club to have as many boys as possible participating in its activities. For years the club has been highly successful in the furthering of its three ideals and the development of New Trier boys through such active participation, but this year ' s record has been particularly outstanding. The club this year has more than equaled its former reputa- tion in raising funds to help the needy in the school and in the community, having been instrumental in starting the charity drive for the Northwestern Chi- cago Settlement in cooperation with the Girls ' Club. Through the efficient administration of its many and varied activities under the capable leadership of Bud Stillman, the Tri-Ship Club of 1938-39 greatly increased its significance as an integral part of New Trier. We were extremely fortunate this year to obtain as a guest speaker, Mr. Lowell Thomas, adventurer and radio news commentator, who presented a very interesting program. Other notables who graced the New Trier auditorium this year were Lew Fonseca, former head of the American League, Bill Stewart and Paul Thompson, coach and captain respectively of the Chicago Black Hawks, all of whom were guests at the very successful Athletic dinner in the fall.
