The Board of Education meets on the fourth Monday of every month for general meetings open to the public. In addition committee conferences are held to discuss the prob- lems that come up in producing a performance at West Essex. P.D. 4.

The Angels of West Essex High School — The Parent-Teacher Association has had a very active year. They were in charge of the second annual Alumni Tea, in December, and spon- sored the production I Remember Mama for the College Loan Fund. This fund is one of the P.T.A.'s prides. It gives financial assistance to West Essex graduates attending college. The Angels , as the backers of a production are called, are a great help and service to our school. They are hard working and give much of their time to make West Essex a success.

Dr. Stille, the Superintendent of West Essex High School, is also the chief executive for the Board of Education. Our main producer's work is done mostly behind the scenes, as, for example, his selection of the professional staff members. His three most important func- tions are leadership, in which he confers with Dr. Piel, and other staff members; service, in which he works with the stu- dents, teachers, and local cit- izens; and business, in which he, Dr. Travis, and the Board of Education make many deci- sions. The show at West Essex could not go without the in- valuable efforts of Dr. Stille, to whom the students express their deepest gratitude. Dr. Walter D. Stille uperin ten dt enl of ScL
