K. , plan? Ewen? mmm ADMINISTRATION A red glow encompasses the sky. There are a clang of hammers, a rum- ble of trains, a shrill blast ofa whistle signifying the presence of a steel mill, Heavy tramp steamers glide silently across the water bringing raw materials to the foundry from various sections of the country to be converted into a finished product, To carry out the important operation in a modern foun- dry, an efficient organization is necessary, The organization of a modern school system is similar to that of a mod- ern factory, for the methods used in direction and management have a close resemblance, The Board of Education corresponds to the board of directors. lt consists of three members, who receive their positions by appointmnt, Mr. Zarza serves as president of the Board, Mr. Herbert Rimes as treasurer, and Mr. George Grimmer as secretary. Their duties deal with political and fin- ancial matters which affect the school system, Among their duties are: approving appointments which are made by the superintendent, conducting building programs, and generally supervising the proper functions of the school.

Feik, who is the superintendent of schools of the city of East Chicago, Among his duties are: informing the principals and supervisors of the various departments of their duties and taking care of all matters of an academic nature. Because of the importance of this position Mr. Feik has as his assist- ant, Mr, A, C. Senour. lvl MR ZARZA NIR. RIMES MR. GRIMMER

afiha M4-7 As each department of a factory must have its head or foreman, so must each school have its principal, who administers all of the school activities. Mr. Russell F. Robinson serves as principal of Washington High School. Many duties are connected with the position, while others arise from dif- ficulties which are encountered. Because one man cannot personally carry out all the important duties, Mr. Robinson has as his assistants, Mr. H. E, Walley and Mr. C, E. Kellam. Mr. Walley is in complete charge of the daily attend- ance and also plans all assembly programs and school productions. Aside from his duties as vice-principal, Mr, Kellam serves as th edean of boys, a very responsible position in the modern school system, and as chairman of the athletic and social committees. Miss Bloomquist, after a long leave of absence because of illness, has returned to resume her duties as the dean of girls. During her absence, the duties of this position were ably carried out by Miss Kate DePew. The duties of the office workers are similar to those of a factory's office force. They take charge of all records, clerical work, and many other import- ant duties relating to the discharge of all school affairs and business. The office staff includes: Miss Mary Muir, registrar and chief of staff, and the assistant clerks, Miss Donna Mcl-laley and Miss Ruth Walthers. Miss Muir fills the position vacated during the last semester by Miss Emma Gansinger, who after many years of service resigned to accept a position in a local mill. Miss Walthers, the new assistant clerk, is a former graduate of Washington. She had previously worked in the office at Franklin School. The teaching staff is the backbone of the modern school system, for they take the raw material, the minds and bodies of the students, and mold them into a finished product-an educated person, The faculty equips the students with knowledge which is necessary to face the problems of later lite.
