Students Directed The School During Education Week The liberal endowments, granted to our scientific and literary institutions, have added much to the character of the state.” —Martin Van Buren ■ ■ -i During one day of Education Week, stu- dents were in complete charge of the school. The student administrators were very successful. Nick McDonald, principal for the day, had three office clerks and forty- six teachers. They managed the school and taught the classes in a highly professional way. They had excellent co-operation from their students, and every- one gained much from this opportunity to get an- other point of view from actual experience. Thirty-five other high school students partici- pated in civic activities during the week. Reports from all activities during Education Week are on file and will be placed in our library.
