Montgomery AB., MA., superintendents of Ohio county schools The board of education of Ohio county schools meets every third week of the month to plan for better schools and to solve the many problems which arise in maintaining the status auo. They choose the teachers, furnish the books, and give us the best that funds and conditions permit. Though we see them seldom, they are working to provide the things which we accept as a matter of course. The members of the board are Fred E. Cowl, presi- dent, Mrs. Lottie Albinger, John H. Clark, William J. Garden, ond Howard D. Matthews. To them we owe a debt of gratitude for their unceasing work behind the scenes. To the superintendents fall the direct supervision of schools, which in- volves everything from placing of teachers to overseeing painting. J. P. McHenry, B.S.Ed., M.Ed., is superintendent of Ohio county schools and sec- retary of the board of education. He is assisted by L. C. Bonar, A.B., M.A., and C. B. Montgomery, AB., M.A. Mr. Bonar is a familiar figure in our halls for he is in charge of junior and senior high schools and visits us fre- quently. Mr. Montgomery calls at grade schools which he oversees in the same capacity. To provide the best in educational opportunities is the daily work of the superintendents. . CDn 10 ih Scene S

P. E, King, AB., A.M. Principal Dale Ross, Ph. B., M. Litt. Dean of Girls Directors ol the Scene Three directors organize, plan, guide, and oversee the Triadelphia scene. Each day be- gins a new act with both problems and ac- complishments in production Head director is P. E. King, principal, whose calm judgment and quiet humor keep action smooth. Mr, King, may I see you? From all sides come the never ending questions. l-le is kept busy answering, explaining, advising, and warning. Temperamental or unruly actors find quantities of resolute firmness beneath the patience and calm. Comedy or tragedy he directs with dignity--and his ear for hare mony makes him valuable on musical sets as well. Dean Dale Ross, assistant director, looking wonderingly at the lines of feminine stars in her office with their excuses and problems, takes a deep breath and carries on. Do you think l am taking the measles? or How can l get a scholarship? are some of the ques- tions answered with a gracious smile over her desk. Next to the girls her interest is in her classes in economics and sociology. When What about you, young man? echoes from the office of the other assistant director, Guy P. Rollins, you may be sure that he is checking on the failure of some actor to punch the time clock. ln addition to being dean of boys he is on the job in his math classes, compiles unending statistics, and car- ries on voluminous correspondence with the boys in the service.
