The safety, the health, and the happiness of twenty-one thousand school children rest in the hands of a very small group of Canton businessmen-the Board of Education. These few men carry an enormous responsibility. Yet, the heavier their burden the more they strive to demonstrate their alertness and deep interest in the welfare o Canton's future citizens. No better proof of this fact can be an the quick conformation which was made this year of t hool system to the existing world conditions. The school year was condensed so that high school grad- uates could enter Defense industries and enroll in college courses as early as possible. A shop course for girls, who wanted to do their part, was seriously considered. Arrangements were made to convert an unused grade s hool building into a modern emer- gency hospital. Thus the rranged an entire war program of its own. Uppermost in the mind of each and every member of the school board has been the well-being of you, and you, and you. Zealously, they have adopted many measures that would lead towards this end, and thereby have guided Canton safely through what might have been a troublesome school year. May T'mken be among the first to express gratitude to this small g men for a difficult task well done. Eaaacfoff ' Eleven

MB. IESSE H. MASON Superintendent of Schools He puts you at ease. His manner and talk are not too brisk and business-like, but more of the I-have-plenty-of-time, don't-be-nervous, let's-talk-it-over type. You are surprised at his memory. Why should he remember you particularly, and the little things in which you are interested? But he does, and wants to know how they're coming along. In chatting with him, it is surprising to note that the tongue is not glued to the roof of the mouth. Talk flows easily and you find yourself discussing hobbies, your own ideas - things not even related to school --- but oddly enough, at the end of the interview, all those little difficulties of yours are ironed out and seem, now, quite simple and small. It would be impossible to be untruthful with him or pretend to be something you aren't, so great is the confidence he places in you. Perhaps it isn't noticed, but you also place un- expressed faith in him. When he laughs, his mirth is genuine, and you feel extremely pleased at the idea of having entertained him. To find a person who approaches him with fear would be difficult. You go instead to find a friend - a friend who is frank and has the amazing ability of being able to help make your rainbow of dreams a reality. Thirteen
