The.4Administrators r Normandy High School was again under the careful supervision of three persons: Mr. B. D. Shouse, Mr. H. L. Green and Mrs. W. Bolm. The first of this group, Mr. Shouse, has been principal of the school since its organization in 1923. ln the meantime he has seen the school grow from the old building to the modern four building campus. He has witnessed a five hundred per cent increase in teachers and a one thousand per cent increase in pupils, a remarkable record to be sure. In his early career Mr. Shouse devoted some time to teaching. However, with such a tremendous growth of both students and faculty he found himself unable to do anything but his duties as principal. Nevertheless, if he should be called upon to teach, he possesses a B. S. in Education from the University of Missouri, and an M. A. from Teachers, College at Columbia University, New York. Mr. Green, assistant principal at Normandy, entered Normandy eleven years ago as athletic coach. Previous to this he was athletic director of Westminster College, then principal of Clayton and Centre High Schools. Besides serving as assistant principal, Mr. Green teaches several classes and sponsors the Hi-Y. As the Administrator of the Junior High School, Mrs. Bolm is a competent official. Besides this, she is a very capable mathematics teacher. She was graduated from the University of Chicago with a Ph. B. degree, and came to Normandy eleven years ago as an English and social science teacher. M VY Bolm R. D. Shouse H. Green Page Sevenlee

The Board of Education I' During these last few years our Board of Education has been faced with the difficult problem of conducting the schools on a greatly reduced income. This last year the problem has been particularly acute. It is comparatively simple to do big things when there is lots of money to spend, but those who do big things with very little money are the ones who really deserve praise. The Board has met this difficulty with the same competent guidance which has been shown in the past and which has brought the school up to its present position. Our schools have maintained their high standards even though they have more children and less money than ever before. This has been possible only by the use of extreme economy and wise judgment, and the cooperation of the entire personnel. This is one of the hardest problems a Board of Education has to face-and it is a thankless one too-because few people realize the full meaning of such a situation. The Board has availed themselves of every opportunity to carry on the school efficiently. Because of the labor furnished by the F. E. R. A. the school building and furniture are in excellent condition and the grounds are being improved. The Board is hoping for the dawn of a new era when the laws will be such as to provide adequate incomes for public systems. ln the mean time they strive to do their best under the present situation and they have been doing a splendid job. So, to our Board of Education, we offer congratulations for another successful school year, and we express to them our confidence in the future of our schools under their skillful direction.
