It is ditticult to comprehend the many duties ot the board and the time that is required to determine school pol- icies and attairs, It was tun to come back to Northeast, to start a new year. There were no hands on the clock, but the tlag was tlying bravely. There was grass, green and well cared tor, new shrubs set out on the terrace. Caretul planning and prep- aration had made things ready tor us. We could make this year whatwe would. To back up the reputation tor a pro- gressive new school, winning teams, time music organizations must be serious class room endeavor. Hundreds ot stu- dents working a tull 60 minutes every hour, studying English, history, current problems, languages, math, science- this is the work that makes a year really worth while. They all study history, read the current magazines. Here are Bethel Came, Norman Pierce, Doris Schoenleber Doroth Deeds I Y 1 Margaret Schmer at work. . f :s -Wiz ' f 5- ,., ,, , na.
