M. Quinn J. B. Patterson The school board has done everything in its power, during the past year, to maintain the high position which our school has the pleasure of holding. Unlike most civic officials, the members of the school board receive no remuneration, yet they give most generously of their time and efforts in the interests of the school and of the community. Countless improvements have been made on the building and grounds. Numerous changes have been made in the faculty, and our school now possesses one of the most competent faculties of its history. With the continued growth of our student body comes an added responsibility upon the board. It has succeeded, however, in building and maintaining one of the Hnest high schools in this section of the country. This year Mr. Painter retired from the board, after having given fifteen years of invaluable service. He has always favored the most modern and efficient principles of school operation. He was a member of the board during those very trying years when the old school was being demolished and the new school was being constructed. He has been a constant aid and trusted adviser of all faculty members, who, with the board members, voice their appreciation of the work Mr. Painter has accomplished during his terms of office.

EDITORIAL OMPETITION in life is becoming more keen. The complexity of our modern life demands two things: a higher education and a higher standard of education. Streator High School is supplying these demands to a rapidly growing number of students. In the past ten years the school has increased its enrollment four-fold. There are now enrolled in Streator Township High School more than one thousand students. This growth is remarkable since the population of Streator has not increased during the past ten years. Such an achievement has been made possible through the able administration of Professor Waldrip and the splendid cooperation of the Board of Education. To cope with this increase in enrollment there must be a proportional increase in the size and efficiency of the faculty. In the last two years the teaching staff has been augmented 'to meet this need. The faculty of the school at the present time includes forty-four teachers. The teachers who have been added to the faculty this year are: Miss Baer, Miss Dorsey, Mr. Friedman, Miss Hibbs, Miss Hudson, Miss Jackson, Miss Kuchen- becker, Mr. List, Miss McClure. and Miss Powell. The curriculum of Streator High School now includes three and one-half years of mathematics. This year trigonometry was offered to third and fourth year students. Our mathematics department ranks high among those of schools of our size. The English department is the largest and one of the most capable in the school. The competence of this department is largely due to the guidance of Mrs. Howells. Last year German was added to the curriculum. This course is under the direction of Mr. Koenig. With this addition the language department now offers Latin. German. French, and Spanish. Few secondary schools in communities of this size have such a well rounded language department. Provision was made in the original plans of the school building for the erection of an auditorium. lt was felt that it might be possible to do without the addition at the time the building was constructed. During the past six years, however, the increasing need for an auditorium has made itself more and more manifest, until at the present time, the lack of such an addition is being keenly felt. An auditorium is both a school and a civic necessity. It is to be hoped that in the near future such a building will be erected. The combination of excellent housing conditions, efficient administration, and capable teaching justifies such an addition. ul Vl'
