Interesting assemblies, enjoyable dances, a Campa- W nile that has been very read- able, well organized finances, interesting and lively athletics, and Leagues which have done helpful and good work prove this. Bill Clark, Commissioner of Social Welfare, was an able leader and carried out his duties well. Robert Neel managed the school budget efficiently, as Commissioner of Finance.
