EP I I BOARD GF EDUCATIO THE debt which we owe the Board of Education cannot be computed, for without their wise oversight our school would probably be unable to maintain its present favorable rating. Not only does this organization furnish us with a superior instrucf tional personnel, but it is quick to interest itself infand supportf-extrafcurricular activities. Under the gracious guiding of Mr. Gardner the Hne tradition of the Board is being continued. Mr. Woolley, long the keen and industrious Hnancial adviser of the Woodbury schools, occupies a specially important position which he fills admirably. Other members, all of whom make valued contributions of time and thought to the educational problems of our city, are Dr. Stearns, our Superintendentg Dr. Burkettg barrister john B. Wick, Mrs. Stratton, and Mrs. Watson. The last named was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by Harold K. Budd's resignation after a number of years of faithful service. Left to Right: Dr. Harry L.

,Y An Administrative Conference f PRI CIPAL More than one hundred and fifty years ago a group of famous statesmen assembled in Philadelphia to draw up a plan for our life together in America. Since then we, the people, have chosen men to rep' resent us in our nation, states, and communities. Vwle have heard a great deal in these days respecting the rights of private judgment, the rights of lahor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. At times we decided to change the original idea, hut for the most part we have followed it assiduously and have applied it to our modern life. That plan is for democracy. In a democracy we are all huilders, for we have heen given important roles, and its tasks are our heritage. Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty: This heritage will soon he yours, and I have full confif dence that each of you will perform well your assigned duties. This is the rule of life today, As it has ever been: The world bestows its smile on those Vkfho have the strength to win. Beneath all outward semblances It looks for 'merit true, It little caves how much you know, But asks, what can you do?'l LLOYD L. LAMMERT I T1lI1'ft'CIZ

, -4, ALUMNI ASSOCIATIGN THE senior class sincerely appreciated the various activities undertaken by the Alumni Association throughout the school year, since a part of the profits of these activities provides the scholarship awarded at Commencement to the member of the senior class who has contributed most to the welfare and progress of this high school during the years of his enrollment. In October the presentation of The Return of Peter Grimm by the Alumni Dramatic Players was a marked success. The Thanksgiving Day Victory Dance, the annual holiday festivity of the Yuletide Ball, and the thoroughly enjoyable Midwinter Carnival in January, all proved to be entertaining and delightful. Another activity was the establishment of a loan fund, to be available to any student worthy and in need of aid in furthering his education. ARLTON PILLING ,,...... .,......

S ecretary MAY MORGAN ........ .... ...Treasurer PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION INDICATIVE of the renascence of the HifCentral ParentfTeacher Association is the rapidly expanding list of members, now numbering nearly Eve hundred indif viduals cooperating toward the goal of the more efficient education and increased welfare of all students. Mr. Howard Nelson of the faculty has proven a forceful but unassuming presif dent, able to gain the ready assistance of all concerned. Program chairman Vincent B. Faust, likewise of the faculty, deserves special commendation for his ability and industry in arranging such really outstanding events as the BackftofSchool Night, the Hobby Show, the lecture by Cameron Beck, and the joyous Fun Night. Besides Mr. Nelson, ofhcers are: Mrs. Cram Kline, first vicefpresidentg Mrs. Marshall Diverty, second vicefpresidentg Mrs. Malcolm Thomas, corresponding secref tary, Mrs. Alfred Francis, recording secretary, and Mrs. Ralph Weldie, treasurer. As heretofore, the association has rendered much valuable help to underfprivif leged children and other worthy causes. Space does not permit a mention of all of the many benefactions of this group, but it is enough to point out that the association is fulfilling with new vigor its important function as the primary link between the school and the home. May this link grow ever stronger with the passing years! Fifteen
