in A, ' Y f Q., . . DR. JOSEPH E. WHERRY NIR, MATTHEW' M. ALCORN PI'UlCiPtlI Assistant Principal .xgclminilifra fion Dr. Joseph E. Wherry managed the high school's program. He assumed his duties with purpose yet with humility. Furthermore, he stimulated the faculty and students to enhance their potenti- alities for individual usefulness. Here is one leader who had deep insight in educational matters. Mr. Matthew M. Alcorn, the assistant principal received his master degree from the University of Pittsburgh. His intelligent and disciplined leadership was combined with gentle persuasive- ness in the rehabilitation of students who needed it. After hearing the emo- tional outbursts, frustrations, and com- plaints of such persons, Mr. Alcorn showed them the worth and dignity of a human being. Dr. Arthur C. Kelley is director of secondary education. His chief qualities are his good nature, understanding and sincerity. His goal was to set up courses of study to fully train minds. Having a wide knowledge of educational affairs, he was well aware of the urgency in having a strong vocational, commercial, and liberal arts program here. DR. ARTHUR C. KELLEY Director of Secondary Education

What are their rewards? These are intangible. Since We are the third largest district in the county, The best of the rest is their motto in all phases of education-in erecting and equipping modern buildings, in beautifying school premises, in raising scholastic stand- ards, in boosting teachers' salary sched- ules, and in securing the best instruc- tors.
