Many of our faculty members were in- structors. Several changes were made in the loca- tion of classes. The biggest change was the installation of the library in Study A. We now have shelves available for all of the books, and space in which one may study profitably. All of the school oflices are now located in the former offices and library, making a more efficient organiza- tion. 10

MR. Z. H. DORLAND Principal PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE In a democratic society the school should be a positive agent of social progress. A school worthy of the support of the community owes it to that community to be a school of social action. The quality of living should improve because of the presence of the schools which the community supports. Our nation should show improvement in ways of living because of the public school system which the nation as a whole supports. Competition in the world today is becoming more keen. The complexity of modern life demands more diversified training and a higher quality of education than ever before. It is the solemn obligation of the Board of Education elected by the people of the community, and of the administrative officer and faculty appointed by them, to make Streator Township High School an institution that will provide for the educational needs of every boy and girl that enters its class rooms. To accomplish this end the school must provide a well rounded program of studies under the com- petent leadership of a highly trained teaching and administrative staff and a school plant sufficient to meet the demands placed upon it. We can not fail in this, our sacred obligation to the youth of our community, state and nation. Z. H. DORLAND
