In the upper left is Mr. Harry Stone, the principal for the school year 1941 42. who is now on leave of absence serving in the United States Navy as Lieutenant j.g. Dr. L. Gordon Stone, upper right, has come to us from Illinois State Normal Uni- versity to act as administrator of the school and successor of his brother, Mr. Harry E. Stone. Our Progressive Board of Education has. during the last few years, added new equipment and ideas to T. C. H. S. They helped immeasurably in maintaining Tremont Community High School status as a school fully accredited by the North Central Asso- ciation and the University of Illinois. Not only has this standard been maintained but these men have given their time and ability to make our school a better and more en- joyable place to acquire the educational training so necessary today. One of the most important items in progressive education is the procurement of proper equipment with which to work. You will find before you have finished reading “The Echo” for 1943 that all of the departments of T. C. H. S. have received this year vital equipment which has made our school one of the most outstanding in this terri- tory. This equipment includes many pieces of machinery for the shop, new suits for the basketball team, several hundred dollars worth of musical instruments, great num- bers of books, reference material, maps, and charts, not to mention the stoker in the gymnasium and the filters in the high school heating plant. The faculty, student body, and patrons wish to express their thanks and apprecia- tion for the work done by the Board of Education. BOARD OF EDUCATION Reading, left to right: George Storrer.
