Also listed were Mr. Lundquist, of the Guidance Test- ing Department, and Mr. Frisbie, Associate Dean of Boys. The results of the poll also show that the students are well aware that there exisits a Board of Education, which attempts to cem- ent relationships between New Trier and the villages of the Township. Few students, however, know the names of the members of this Board. About half of those polled knew that the president is Christian E. Iarchow. The other members are Paul W. Cutler, Ralph G, Hinners, Bert M. Kohler, and Mrs. Harry Williams. ' Page 11 KAHLER MALONEY BROVVN HERRON BIESEMEIER LUNDQUIST

Results of a recent poll taken by New Trier High School students have just come in. They prove conclusively that the New Trier administration is completely supported by its stu- dents. Not one student indicated a desire to replace or change the present system in any way. When questioned as to why New Trier is run so smoothly, the students gave a large part of the credit to the superintendent, Matthew P. Gaffney. It is a known fact that Mr. Gaffney has always worked for the benefit of the students in every way. The students seem to know, says one reporter, that Mr. Gaffney has made every effort to better the already excellent conditions at New Trier. The students showed the same regard for all those who have helped Mr. Gaffney in his work. In answer to the question Which faculty member has been most helpful to you while you have been at New Trier? , many students cited Miss Maloney, Dean of Girls, or Mr. Kahler, Dean of Boys. Seniors especially said that Miss Maloney and Mr. Kahler had been of great aid in helping to choose a college. Many others, when asked Do you feel that members of the Administration are not given ade- quate credit? , replied that they knew several Administrative assistants who receive little credit for their valuable services. Among those mentioned were Mr. Brown, Business Manager and Assistant Superintendent, Mr. Herron, Registrar and Ofice MR. HINNERS MR. KOHLER MRS. WILLIAMS . Page I O

ENELISH DRAMA . ,--. y -- MAREA E. VLASTO 1894-1948 All those who knew Miss Vlasto felt her loss deeply. She was greatly interested in her students and her work. As an advisor she made every effort to help her advisees in whatever they did. In memory of her kindness and devotion, a scholarship fund was estab- lished by her adviser-room, to be given to some mem- ber of the 1949 graduating class. GRISLY CLASS ROOM MURDER! The King's English was found dead this morning in room 231, shot through the predicate. Suspicion immediately ,fell on English students at New Trier. Inspector Hutchens reports that the murder weapon may have been a split infinitive or a double negative. I Members of the investigating squad are greatly distressed. It was felt that all was well between the victim and the suspects. Witnesses affirm that shortly before the murder, the suspects had actually begun to do their homework. Even the followers of the Great Books Course were thought to harbor no rebellious tendencies. They still opened the books every weekaend and stared at the pages. Nevertheless, witnesses had to concede that the presence of the corpse proved these assumptions false. The only plausible motive for the crime was that progress in English this year had been so great that the students couldn't bear the pressure. ACTING PROVES PRACTICAL Faculty members have recently noted the increased ingenuity of unprepared students who are bluffing their way through class, Even the students who merely say I don't know say it with such force, style, and faultless diction that their teachers give them A for the day, The Drama Department takes credit for this work. The department has brought about this strange behavior through speech classes and the study of the theater. One new course has been added, a combination of English and Drama. Mr, Coburn and company, often aided by members of the English Department, direct the extra-curricular plays. These part time assistants are Mr. Lehman, Mr. McKinney, Mr. Hol- land, Mr, Iones, Mr. Harper, Miss Lighter, Miss Deames, and Mrs. Davis. I ' Page 12
