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.
