Board Of Trustees Spearhead Development Program Many people observe Pem-Day's great Build- ing Program, but few realize how this immense face-lifting is taking place. It is the unsung heroes of Pem-Day's Board of Trustees who have done the greatest part to make Design for Learning possible. Prominent businessmen with a great love for Pem-Day set themselves the difficult task of rais- ing millions of dollars to build not one, but three new buildings, and they deserve no end of gratitude. The Board members consisted of Edward M. Douthat, president, Willis C. Theis, vice-president, Geoffrey A. Oelsner, secretary, George C. Dillon, treasurerg Calvin W. Atwood, Menefee D. Black- well, William D. Grant, Stephan W. Harris, R. Crosby Kemper, jr., David W. Newcomer, III, John T. Pierson, jr., George E. Powell, -Ir., Herbert A. Dick Sloan, Dr. Raymond W. Stockton, Ro- bert W. Willirs, and advisory member james A. Hazlett. Geoffrey A. Oelsner, Secretary of the Board. . .A-I--hy.-.r 5 It , pig . .1-9.2.7. ,,g'v,igY'.,.,-.-.'

Headmaster Tackles New Program With Unwilting Enthusiasm One of the more pleasant tasks this year was the breaking of the ground for the new learning center. The ultimate responsibility for building and main- taining a progressive institution is to accomplish the aims and objectives for which it was established. This responsibility must rest with the headmaster. Mr. Cal- vin Atwood, in his fifth year at Pem-Day, successfully fulfills the criteria for a good leader, and adds a great sense of duty and responsibility, an empathy with the students and faculty, and an intense pride in achieve- ment. Mr. Atwood accentuates the rewards of achieve- ment through hard work, and his avid spirit, in any- thing which requires an extra effort, has set an example as true school spirit. This sense of spirit brought him to all school activities, whether football game or'Glee Club performance, and rejoiced in the success of the student, and equally sympathized with him in his de- feat. Mr. Atwood is equally concerned that the intel- lectual growth keep pace with the physical expansion. Academically, Mr. Atwood has striven to establish a high, comprehensive level of education to enable the students to think clearly and independently and to de- velop whatever capabilities they may have, thus becom- ing better leaders and, more important, better men.

if Nobody Shoots A1 Sonia Claus... Should you encounter our business manager, Mr. C. B. Lueck, reading something called Figures far Fun and Projqt chances are good that he wrote the book. As the campus expands, so the financial prob- lems increase, and C. B. has, this past year, found him- self frequently enmeshed in a labyrinth of numbers. That he has been able to extricate himself - and our school - is a tribute to a hard-working and far above average conscientious person. When Hal jones relinquished the reins of Busi- ness Manager to assume the position of Chairman of the Development Commission, he promised that earth would be moving soon. Progress has surpassed even his wildest dreams, and now he can look out upon the skeletal outlines of three modern buildings that are changing the skyline of the Pem-Day campus. He isn't content with looking outg several times each day he can be observed guiding groups of people through the clutter of steel and concrete that will become the Learn- ing Center. His energy is surpassed only by his en- thusiasm. Hal jones is well on the way to becoming a legend in his own time. aeffftfl Mr. C. B.
