9 lAJelco-med a New SuizeA niendestt ALTHOUGH HE HAS NOT been with me all my life, my superintendent, Dr. R. O. Nelson, is responsible for many improvements in the school system during his three years in office. He h as introduced the employment of married teachers, elimination of Feb- ruary graduation, retirement pension for all school employees, addition of a longer school day for the high school, and plans for erection of the new Ma- gruder and Jefferson schools. FOR TWENTY-FIVE YEARS, I have been advised by a steering commit- tee, or school board. Here, the board members at one of their monthly meetings make important decisions that affect my little sisters, the grammar schools, and me. Members are Mr. S. D. Green, Mr. A. R. Hoff- man, Mr. P. W. Murray, Mrs. G. R Dabney, Mr. D. C. Pleasants, Dr. H. G. Longaker, Mrs. J. E. Kritzer, and Dr. R. 0. Nelson. With the help of the board, this year my gym and stage got new lights, my cafeteria was redecorated, my office received a new mimeograph machine, new courses were added; all in all I was made a better school. 22

Quio-yed the cMelp llteAe iu ANOTHER ORGANIZATION that has thrived for 25 years is the Patrons ' League. Mrs. Valery Early, president, and Mrs. C. B. Coe, vice-presi- dent, preside over the punch bowl at a meeting. j TWENTY-FIVE YEARS ago Miss Ethel Gildersleeve was teaching mathemat- ics. Now, as Dean of Girls, she helps students solve their personal problems concerning their characters and ca- reers. MY NEW PRINCIPAL arrived in Septem- ber! He is George J. McIntosh who came here from Brookville High School near Lynchburg. His education, which in- cludes a Bachelor of Science degree from Randolph-Macon and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Virginia, has equipped him well for the job. MY BOYS have problems today just as they did 25 years ago, but today they have an expert trou- ble shooter in Mr. T. O. Keesee, assistant principal. 23
