ADMINISTRATION The Greek and Roman eras produced some of the greatest teachers the world has ever known. These great teachers were the intellectual leaders of their day, and their philosophy has been carried down even to the present with the result that we still feel their influence after these many centuries. The greatness of men often is not recognized until time has tested their theories, their philosophy, and their ideals. It is not at all improb- able that this generation, facing as it does a great crisis, will produce edu- cational leaders who in years to come will rank with the great teachers of the past.

CHAOS Floyd Meyers Blanche L. Chapman Chas. W. Postill The official board of the Rensselaer School City is elected by the city council. The members serve a term of three years and are responsible for the organization of the schools. The President of the Board is Mrs. Chapman, a former teacher and a leader in the community. Mr. Myers, who formerly served as High School Principal in Rensselaer, is Treas- urer of the Board. Mr. Postill, Secretary of the Board, is serving his second term. Mr. Postill is a retired minister. The ability of our School Board is evidenced by the fact that with the necessary reductions in the budget within the last few years the same high standards of more prosperous times have been maintained. Supei-intendent Gale Smith is serving his fifth year in Rensselaer’s schools. In these five years the system has profited greatly through his executive ability and good management. Aside from being a successful superintendent he is widely known as an author and publisher of workbooks. Mr. Cleaveland, High School Principal, came to us this year from Chalmers. Dur- ing the short time! he has been here he has proved himself to be a very capable prin- cipal and has earned the respect of teachers, students and patrons. Barbara Yeoman has served as office girl for four years and in that time has made more tests than a freshman takes during his first week in college. She is never too busy to be pleasant and her efficiency is the marvel of the entire school.
