OUR PRINCIPAL Planning the courses, handling the finances of the school, meeting parents and pupils and teachers in all their difficulties, paying atten- tion to details, details, details require the utmost energy and patience on the part of the administrative staff of any school. As an organiser Mr. Giese has shown outstanding ability. His efficient and humane insight into the problems of administration has given to the school a definite tone of courteous, quiet operation which makes it possible for the overcrowded building to handle successfully those who seek education during these times of scarcity of employment.

During the past year, appropriations for books have been Steadily reduced, although the slogan A Book In The Libi ai v Is Worth Ten In The Attic called forth a few contributions from Students and teachers. Book or cash donation-, .it any time help this heart of the educational institution. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mens sana m carport sano. Park High has no stadium, no great amphitheatre where, like the ancients, youth might en- tertain the populace in Olympics. But in the gymnasiums and on the school grounds (when weather permits) is de- veloped in every Student a healthy body which become.-- a tit temple for a healthy mind. Miss Shaw and Mr. Ziebell. girls ' and boys ' physical directors respectively, do more, however, than merely help to keep physically fit those whose major activity is mental. The development of a sense of fairness, of esprit de corps lends their work significance far beyond the significance of external improvement. Above: R iv- ' C ' ..ili-th.
