As there are heads in every building con- cern, there are the same leaders in every school system. The board of chairmen of a large construc- tion company is about the same as the Board of Education of our city. This body is composed of Mr. A. W. Yant, the president, Mr. J. Zarza, the sec- cretary, and Dr. A. A. Forszt, the treasurer. The work o.f the board consists of directing school po- licies, approving appointments to school positions made by the superintendent, conducting building programs, and, in general supervising the proper functions of the schools. The jobs of head foremen are comparable to that of the superintendent and his assistant. Mr. Roy W. Feik, the superintendent, and Mr. A. C. Senour, the assistant superintendent, are the foremen of this important job. Besides informing the principals and supervisors, they take care of all matters relat- ing to an academic nature. As each section of the building construction must have a boss , so must each school have its princi- pal. Mr. Russell F. Robinson, the principal of Wash- ington High School, may be regarded as the head foreman of this section of the school system. He

If he should make one error, he might ruin the entire structure of the building. Similarly, the tasks of the Board of Education, the principal, and the faculty are not simple. lt is their responsibil- ity that the school system runs smoothly, and efficiently. Therefore, in this section of our book, we present the pictures of those who, plan for others, namely, the Board of Educatio.n, principal, and faculty, and those who must plan for themselves, namely, the underclassmen.

i l , MR. FEIK MR. ZARZA MR. YANT administers all of the school's activities. Many are the duties of this important job, and many are the problems which arise in the work. So important is this job that Mr. Robinson is aided by his two assist- ant principals, Mr. A. T. Elliott and Mr. H. E. Wal- ley. Each assistant principal has his own specific work to do. Mr. Elliott is dean of the boys. Mr. Wal- ley's duties are very important. He is in complete charge of attendance and plans the assembly pro- grams. Miss DePew has been serving as the dean of girls during the absence of Miss Bloomquist. The aids to the principal and his staff are the office workers. They take charge of all the records, clerical work, and many other important duties re- lating to the discharge of all school affairs and business. Miss Emma Gansinger is the registrar and head of the staff. Miss Mary Muir and Miss Evelyn Bielski are the clerks. To complete this comparison, it is very important to mention the teachers. They, in reality, are the true builders. They do not have wood or stone to work with but the minds and bodies of the students. The teachers are the constructors, and the students are the material. Therefore, it can easily be seen that the building of any structure has an excellent counterpart in the administrative and student bodies of our public schools. l D R .
