V ,. if ROBERT THOMAS ROBERT KRYTER WINFIELD WOOD MRS. ALICE BLIN Board President Board Treasurer Board Secretary School Secretary ''.-Xdministrators,H you read, Sounds like a nice easy job. -but just a minute is it really as easy as it sounds? This task of running our school is really a form- idable one: it is an undertaking involving conscientious effort, patience, foresight administrative ability, tact, keenness, and a degree of humor. .Xn administratons job demands his full time attention through all the year. Dur- ing the summer there are plans for the coming year to he made, schedules to he worked out, new teachers to he hired, working permits to he issued and a thousand and one other jobs-some being small, yet others large. During the school year our administrators find themselves constantly caught in a deluge of details. They do everything from drafting the annual budget to settling disputes between johnny jones and Tommy Smith. But all these tasks are really just small ones, for the main duty of these men is to see that the children under their authority receive not just an education hut that they receive the best education pos- sible-an education which will help the youth of Speedway grow up into line, straight, upright citizens. As Alexander Pope so aptly put it: 'T is education forms the com- mon mindg just as the twig is bent the tree's inclinedf, -V These men and women of Speedway who act as the governing boards of our school have a grave responsibility upon their shoulders-the making of good Amer- ican citizens. They have done their job well and deserve our appreciation for a task conscientiously done. N. D. CORY RICHARD C. JORDAN LINCOLN NORTHCOTT MRS.

RALPH JOHNSON MRS. HELEN KOPESKY MISS AGNES SPENCER CHARLES NAY MISS BETTY MOORE CLYDE SALLEE MISS THELMA STOUT WE CAN EVER FORGET . . . Forget our f?culty? XYe never could--nor would we want to. After being their students, we've come to know them quite well. Each individual teacher leaves his mark of learning upon us. XYay back when Mr. Johnson had us in General Science, bet he never dreamed he'd have several star football players out of our bunch, Those few of us who won't remember Mr. Johnson as :i coach. will certainly remember him as our Refresher Math teacher. Mrs. Kopesky had the ill fortune to introduce us to higher math. Even though she worked us hard, her grand sense of humor will stay with us always, From the time we entered the Seventh Grade until the last issue of this year's SPEEDETTE was published-from the time she taught us spelling until she taught us jopirnalism, Miss Spencer always told us, Give credit where credit is due. Mr. Nay met only the bravest Seniors-those who survived Plane Geometry to struggle through Solid Geometry and Trig. Miss Moore, who joined the staff just this year, had only a few of us in classes. but we can never forget such an attractive teacher. Forget Mr. Sallee-the teacher who taught us to drive. the teacher who sacrificed his life for his duty? Never! Every time we wrap ourselves around a tele- phone pole: every time we drive into a train: every time we forget to signal-we'll remember our Sports- manlike Driving teacher and his warnings. VVhenever we hear a whole-hearted laugh, we will recall Miss Stout. The hardest year she ever lived was the year we were Juniors. Not only did she push us through junior Literature, but anyone who can make an actor out of a Junior deserves special recognition.
