SUPERINTENDENT H. D. BARR ILE., Western Illinois State Teachers' College. M.A., Teachers' College, Columbian University. History teaches only that history teaches nothing. We, the class of '45, thank you, Mr. Barr and members of the Board of Educa- tion, for your untiring efforts and helpful guidance during the past four years. Your foresight in providing the means of acquiring an education has been appreciated. We are especially grateful for the new school bus which is now in operation. As we have progressed through the years, we have come to realize the value of your interests in assisting us to become better citizens and better prepared to accept the responsibilities of life.

J 'na,in,flm.UMicc Long before the opening of school each year, the Board of Education and Mr. Barr discuss the policies and procedures for the coming year. After these have been discussed and adopted by the Board, it is the duty of Mr. Barr to meet with members of the faculty and submit these for their understanding and execution. Mr. Barr's next duty is to consult with Mrs. Wilkinson and arrange a schedule of classes. This task was much harder this year for physical education was taught five days a week instead of two days as in previous years, also Glee Club met during the school day instead of after school. All too often high school pupils think the office is a place where they are sent when they have committed a misdemeanor. However, these consultations are for the benefit of the pupil. Many times pupils are called into the office to be complimented for some good work they have done or for interpretation of the statewide University of Il- linois tests. Each year many people pay Mr. Barr a personal visit or write to him thanking him for the many things he taught them during these consultations. Rather than being a place to avoid, the office seems to be the favorite room for returning servicemen. They enjoy re-living their high school days. Another important duty performed by Mr. Barr is that of keeping a record of each student's grades and conduct for each year. These records are more and more in demand by business and industrial concerns. Then there are absences to be figured, equipment to be ordered, withholding taxes to be figured, books to be rented, transcripts of credits to be sent to colleges, and many other duties too numerous to mention. In these multitudinous duties Mr. Barr is ably assisted by his very efficient sec- retary, Miss Jean Hannaford. I gh!
