BILL SIMPSON Vice-President DOUGLAS MILLER President JANE JACKSON Secretary STUDENT BODY OFFICERS PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Due to action taken by the Board of Education the Edison School was closed, and about three hundred Edison students were sent here to Willard. At first I thought it was going to be a very difficult task serving as president of this greater Willard, but, as the term progressed, J began to enjoy the office more and more. Edison brought with them new ideas and a marked spirit of cooper- ation for the best interests of their new school home and associates. Here- tofore we have not had a Student Control Court, a Scholarship Honor Society, a voting system modeled after our state election plan, a Scoop , a dance orchestra, a hard-baseball team, a high- jump pit, and I don ' t be- lieve we have ever had a more splendid Spring Day in spite of our handi- caps. The crowning of the Queen of May and the Maypole were also innovations. My work at Willard is over, but I shall always remember the loyalty of our principal, teachers, and you all, fellow students, during my term of service.

GREETINGS I have been very happy in my new position as principal of the Wil- lard Junior High School during the present semester. This has been due to the fine cooperative spirit on the part of both the pupils and the teach- ers. Without this cooperation, success would have been impossible. With the consolidation of the two schools and with the physical handicap un- der which the school was forced to operate, it has been difficult for the pupils and the teachers to adjust themselves to the new situation, but with all of these drawbacks, I feel that the term has been most success- ful. By the opening of school in September, I sincerely hope that the audi- torium and the gymnasium will be repaired and ready for use, and that at least two additional classrooms will be added to the school. I hope the boys and girls, especially those who are about to leave Wil- lard, will feel free to call upon us at any time for advice and counsel, and I can assure our young people that the entire Willard Faculty stands ever ready to lend a helping hand when needed. H. H. Glessner. 2
