W .fdclminizifrafion How many of us fully realize the important iob that the administration of Pembroke-Country Day School does in order to make it possible for us to receive the most benefits from our school? Much of the credit for the smooth operation of the school's activities must go to the members of the executive department. They are busy at all times trying to keep the school working for our best advantages. Whenever you are too sick to attend school or you fail to get your assignments, all it takes is a simple telephone call and the office staff will be glad to help you in any way by securing books and obtaining assignments. If you have any problems in which the school can be of assistance, the HAROLD R- JONES - Business MC'nU9e administration is at your service. Mrs. Harold Jones, who received her A.B. at Smith, and Mrs. John Barnes, who is a graduate of the University of Missouri, ably assist Mr. Kingman in the many office duties. In addition to her office duties, Mrs. Barnes is one of the faculty advisors for the Hilltop , the student newspaper. The business manager of the school is Mr. Harold Jones, who is an alumnus of Pembroke-Country Day and a graduate of Harvard University. Besides managing the school's financial affairs, he has been the head freshman coach for the past three years, and is this year the Varsity baseball coach. It is on his successfulness in helping the freshmen that Pembroke-Country Day bases its hopes for future athletic prowess. His assistant, Miss Raines, who is a graduate of Central Missouri State College, has recently started typing classes for the students. The addition of this popular course to one's curriculum will be invaluable in college and in later years. Miss Raines Mrs. Barnes Mrs. Jones

ciwleadnfzcwfer- t y sf . 5 BRADFORD M. KINGMAN Every morning at approximately eight-thirty an alert looking man can be seen walking briskly from his new home on the southeast corner of the campus along the walk leading to the administration building. Although he might be seen, before reaching the east steps, talking over yesterday's assembly program with early arriving students or discussing the morning schedule with one of the faculty, he actually is a very busy person. As headmaster of Pembroke-Country Day, upon his shoulders have been placed the administrative responsibilities of running the school. Mr. Bradford M. Kingman, who holds this position, came to Pem-Day in 1943. He is a graduate of Dartmouth College and received his Masters degree at Columbia University. From this experience in the East, it is apparent that Mr. Kingman has gained an advanced conception of preparatory education, for since that time in 1943 when this man for the first time walked up those steps of the school, Pembroke-Country Day has seen the results of some very progressive thinking. Mr. Kingman was instrumental in the planning and fInal completion in 1949 of the gymnasium, he has encouraged the enlargement of the curricular activities, forwarded the idea of student self-expression, and has personally fostered recently a form of honor system now used by the school. This attempt at self-government by students at Pem-Day, including a student court and student council, has definitely made the school singular to every other school of its kind in this part of the country. Besides making the policies for the school, Mr. Kingman has also the rare ability to be able to mix with the students and faculty members as their friend. His unlimited capacity for always having the time to sit down with the students and discuss their individual problems, no matter how small they may be, has gained him the respect and admiration of student and teacher alike.
