The advancement of Pem-Day's vast build- ing program brought with it the inevitable my- riad of problems and conflicts that is linked with progress. Faced with such a deluge of dis- order, Headmaster Calvin Atwood once again proved that his enthusiastic determination was equal to the situation. Mr. Atwood's concern for the betterment of Pem-Day not only overcame the difficulties inherent in the new buildings but also played a major role in the continuation of the attitudes and ideals that serve as the key components of the Pem-Day spiritf' Whether sharing the victories and successes of the students or bear- ing their defeats and failures, Mr. Atwood has attempted to emphasize the positive aspects of the school. In addition to his administrative obliga- tions, Mr. Atwood also assumed the duties of the director of college placement, assisting se- niors in their college applications and choices. The loss of several key teachers also gave Mr. Atwood the responsibility of finding replace- ments capable of maintaining the high standards he strives to attain for his Pem-Day.

Mr. Hal Jones' Design For Learning Nears Final Form Mr, jones takes time out from more mundane duties to help pass out ribbons at Field Day. Many people know what it means to have a dream. Few people know what it means to have a dream come true. Still fewer people know what it means to have a colossal dream Come true. Hal jones is one of those very few people. From its very inception, Pem-Dayis Design For Learning Building Complex has been Mr. jones, personal dream. But it takes more than hoping and wishing to have a dream of this magnitude come true. It takes a lot of money, a lot of time, and a lot of work. Mr. Jones struggled hard to put these ingre- dients together to produce a dream. lt was not an easy task, but by watching Mr. jones strid- ing jauntily around the new campus, looking like a benevolent lord examining his estate, it seems as if it was all worth it. l 2 N
