One of the most noteworthy achievements attempted and successfully culminated in the history of Pleasant Gardens School was the establishment in i949 of the commercial department. Through the indefatigable efforts of Principal R. l. Wiggins, who awakened generous patrons for the far-reaching possibilities, progressive planning and constructive activity were devised. By direction of Mrs. Jane Rowe, head of the department, the impetus for the greater part of the program came. She is largely responsible for the astonishing amount of ex- pansion since the modest beginnings of the initial attempts. A well-conducted smoothly running department it has become not only an integral part, but a vital role and a true highlight in the stabilizing activities of the school. Furthermore it has opened to the students doors in the business world where they are holding positions of trust and leadership with Credit to themselves, and with honor to their school. Mrs. Rowe offers stimulating guidance that is careful and thorough, an alert interest that is genuine and intense, a courageous enthusiasm that is charming and engaging. Her stride never falters, her pace never slows. In the absence of a more eloquent tribute we dedicate to Mrs. Rowe the nineteen- hundred fifty-five issue of The Pines. is . A c. 'I W -I' K.
