They are elected by the people themselves to establish the school policies and school rules. A few ot their jobs are to look after the general improvements ot the school, furnish supplies for the students and teachers, and to hire and pay teachers. This year the Board opened the Library tor public use and also opened the gymnasium to students several nights a week. They also attempted to have an ice skating rink tor the school and town. This board must look after the expenses ot the school so that the taxpayers money is wisely spent. Q 10 RALPH E. WILSON PERCY V. LICHTENF ELS FRANK KEELEY if 'gif' - 7 MH A.

It is a mecca for book agents Who try some clever tricks on him. lt also is a meeting place for parents who may have a problem to settle about leanne's or Bob's school life. Maybe you do not think it is a busy center, but try to arrange for an appoint- ment some time. To some students it means a spot Where they can always find a worthy counselor. y MR. C. A. BAIR Supervising Principal To every member of the High School, Mr. Fail's office has significance-that significance ' being determined in a' large part by the student himself. To some it means a place for securing the little colored slips, issued to those Who sleep ten winks too long in the morning or develop cf toothache or a pain at very inappropriate times. If We should step into the office for a minute you would find him applying his mental tele- pathy to the unfortunate ones casually draped on the wrong side of the fence. But, please Mr. Fails, dor1't fence us in. 'fm a ' MR. GEORGE A. FAILS High School Principal ll LILLIAN LOUISE BALDY Bachelor of Science in Secretarial Studies, Carnegie Institute of Technol- ogy.

SMITH This year the Senior members ot the Press Club edited the first three editions of the Tattler and then the Iuniors edited the paper the remainder of the year, While the Seniors devoted all their time to the editing of the l945 Retrospect. The Press Club had a party at the lunior Com- munity Club on October ll, 1944, to initiate the Iunior members into the Club. Each Press Club member was permitted to invite a quest. The Club continues sending the Tattlers to the mem- bers iot the school who leit to ao into the Armed torces.

The Glee Club, having participated in the Minstrel, undertook a new pro- ject, that of an Operetta, ferry of lerrico Road . This took the place of the annual Spring Concert. The Glee Club closed its season by participating in the annual Kiwanis Club Musicale whose theme was, America, The Beautiful . The Club sang Poor Little Rhode Island . The Senior members took part in the graduation exercises. ' Cjliordd emo! ,Ei4c!L0rc!5 A familiar sight at the football and basketball games was the column of maroon and White uniformed students twirling batons and playing their various instruments to help spur our teams on to victory. The band, under the direction of Mrs. Lois McCord, also added color, vim, and patriotism to many of our assemblies. Activity periods and often before school at lunch hour the group practiced to get ready for their activities. Grade school as well as high school students go together to make up the band. 35 7 01,8 ULVL ln order to buy needed stage equipment and a movie projector, a Minstrel Revue entitled Dress Rehearsal was presented by the Seniors and represen- tative members from other classes. Dress Rehearsal was directed by Miss Bernice Keefer and Mrs. Anna Betty Bergman. The Revue was composed of a number of blackouts, panto- mimes, skits, a verse speaking choir, and a pariotic drill. All teachers helped to make this a success by serving on various committees. Kfuffoailfa The Iunior Class presented the comedy Professor, How Could You! , a farce in three acts. The play was about a Professor, who, if he got married, would become the Dean of the college. He becomes engaged to three girls at the same time, Priscilla, Valerie and Tootsie, but ends up marrying the girl Who was trying to find him a Wife. Bud Warden played the leading part as the Professor, with Gloria Mig- nogna as the girl who marries him in the end. 36 or Miller 6fiZ8lfL:5 L70 Special Committees have been appointed to plan and carry on the work ot the Club this year.
