Qioarid ojj fidlueation. Many consider ours to be the best High School in Indi- ana. This is largely due to the high standards set by the prin- cipal, Mr. H. M. Jessee. Thirty- one years of devoted service have been his, and he deserves all the thanks we can give him. He has made an effort to keep up the standards of the school and to inaugurate the new war program. Of invaluable aid to Mr. Jes- see has been Mrs. Charlotte Barkley, his secretary. She comes in daily contact with teachers and students and is well liked by all. ; H. M. Jessee dictates a letter Charlotte Barklej to his office clerk Not all of Mr. Jessee ' s time is spent here at school, al- though most of the organiza- tions to which he belongs are of an educational nature. He is a member of the Saturday Evening Club, Porter County Principals ' Association, t h e National Education Associa- tion, and the Indiana State Teachers ' Federation. Occa- sionally he can find time to play Mr. Julian a close game of golf, and every summer he de- votes to his hobby, gardening. MAUDE V. DOUGLAS Th i s year Mrs. Maude V. Douglas is acting as treasur- er of the school board and is com- pleting her fifth year of service. She has been secretary, treasurer, and pres- ident of the board and is now filling the office of treas- urer. Dr. Gerald H. Stoner, friendly lo- cal physician has completed one term of service on the Board of Education and is at present acting as secretary for the first year of his second term. In a term of three years each member fills each office. The principal spends much of his vacation tend- ing his flowers. GERALD H. STOXER
