Superintendent T. H. Cobb £ ufze'iuid.a'id- The Board of Education is devoted to the promo- tion of all the interests of the city school system. It looks impartially on the activities of the schools and attempts to appraise their value to the boys and girls of the community. This is especially true of our high school, where students arc growing into adulthood and the last influences of community training are being ex- perienced. Our Board of Education has been especially alert to the values of the high school and by its con- tinuous intelligent attention has given us a place where valuable constructive activities are carried on daily by happy, successful students. The Board of Education must always give special attention to securing the greatest return from its in- come. In spite of this, our high school has been among the outstanding Illinois high schools over the years, and its graduates look back with gratitude to the years spent in its halls. Mr. Cobb, as Superintendent of the Urbana Schools, has proved himself invaluable to us. Board of Education Members—Mrs. H. W. Hucgy. Mr. F. J. Kcilholz. Mr. Carl Parks. Pres.. Dr. B. S. Hopkins.

'We, the itude+iti of Urbana High, dedicate our 1942 Rosemary to the young men and women who have graduated from our school and are now helping in the defense of our country—to those young men who are serving in all branches of the armed forces, and to those young women, the nurses, who will be by their sides no matter where they are— they who have made a personal sacrifice by leaving their families and friends, and vocations for which in many cases they have spent years in preparation: they who, unthoughtful of self, are and will be braving countless dangers that the thing for which they are making the sacrifice may live, “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, may not perish from the earth.” May their courage be undaunted: may their efforts not be in vain. 4

Pnincifud and jbeanl Principal Stanley B. Hadden OjJjice. BecSvetaAy. SECRETARY RUTH NOBLE Pushing papers aside, I settled down upon Mr. Hadden’s desk to enjoy a nap. The industry of the office staff had made me tired: ’cause I'd been tramping around to discover all the things they do. The friendly principal. Mr. Hadden, has a round of duties that includes writing letters of recommendation, bookkeeping, making out the school calendar, as well as students’ schedules, and getting basketball tournament tickets, and the like. Typing letters, making up attendance lists, and the first hour announcements, office and teachers’ mimeographing, and keeping the student cumula- tive records up-to-date are a few responsibilities of Ruth Noble, the genial office secretary. She is assisted by the student office helpers. Now does anyone doubt that we have an active and efficient office staff? 6
