The past school year presented many a perplexing problem with which the administration coped efficiently and successfully. Despite obstacles, Mr. Chester Ray, who in a short time has won the confidence and hearts of both the townsfolk and the school youngsters, capably met each challenge, and our system functioned smoothly. Again our tried and true and much respected principal, Mnjohn Gifford, ironed out the wrinkles in the high school pro- gram which had to be adjusted to meet the requirements of the Vocational Household Arts Department for girls which was adopted this year. And too, much credit is due Miss Lillian Dunn, kind, capable, and efficient, who untiringly labored to uphold and improve the standards of our grade school system. Surely the results of the efforts of Mr. Ray, Mr. Gifford, and Miss Dunn speak for themselves. It is htting and proper that the heartfelt thanks of Pembroke go to them! T LILLIAN M. DUNN B.S. in Ed.
