jbisiedate vj fylicflit (Dp,e iatiQ-ni Mr. Cobb. Director of Might Operations, after nineteen years of compe- tent service, has resigned his post as superintendent of Urbana Public Schools. Throughout these years he has consistently won the respect of both crew and passengers with his fairness and good judg- ment. He will be greatly missed next year when another Director assumes the duties which he has so long and faithfully executed. Together with the the members of the Board of Education our Flight Director has developed a well-rounded program of studies and activities for the students of the Ur- bana schools. Since high school is the last of the formal education that the community offers, the Board is especially interested in offering a high school program that will produce responsible and well-rounded citizens: consequently, they work long hours investigating, improving, organizing, and operating our school. This year, an extra task was the problem of reorganizing our school districts. The job called for careful work and study, and Mr. Cobb, as well as the Board of Edu- cation. gave their time and support through radio talks, study, discus- sion. and debate in order to inform the community of the existing problem. Indeed, our school has been much more efficient through the efforts of Mr. Cobb and the Board of Education. Committee Chairmen were as follows: Building and Grounds. Mr. Har- mon: Finance, Mr. Milum: Teachers. Mrs. Ek- blaw: Health and Safety. Mrs. Dawson: Athletics. Mr. Wilson: and Development. Mr. Webber. Mr. T. H.
