PRINCIPAL A. C. DRUMMOND SUPERINTENDENT N. N. STORK SECRETARY MRS. A. JONES AND ASSISTANT MRS. G. KIEFER The roots of our mighty oak reach deep into the earth, bringing forth life-giving nourishment. Like the roots, the administra- tion supplies our mighty oak with nourish- ment in the form of guidance, advice, and a cheery smile. Mr. Stork and Mr. Drum- mond haye played a major role in the addi- tion and completion of the newest branch on our mighty tree, the shop building. It is upon their shoulders that rests the strenuous and dilheult task of running our school efliciently and smoothly, while seeking that each branch is given its due attention. The secretary, Mrs. Alice Jones, and the assistant secretary, Mrs. George Kiefer, also play a large part in promoting the growth of our impregnable oak. Besides keeping the books for our school district, they must keep the school corre- spondence up to date, keep the financial rec- ords for all the many school organizations, and act as a general information bureau for everyone. All in all, they do a wonderful job of keeping our tree in harmony. Mrs. George Kiefer resigned her position on the 15th of December in favor of raising her own little oak.

MR. JOHN TORNOW President MR. RICHARD BABCOCK MR. DANIELS RAWSON ur irm Woofri The board of education is the policy-male ing body of the school. It is their job to review the program and needs of the high school from the community's point of view. They bring to the board meetings their recom- mendations, suggestions, and proposals for the betterment of the school. A policy of funda- mental importance to the board of education is to attempt to determine what problems today's youngsters will meet when they grow up, as well as to decide what they should be learning now in preparation to meet those problems. The yearis major project of the board and the school administration is the shop building program, intended to provide a comprehen- sive school curriculum with educational op- portunities for all interests and abilities. fSee the end sheetsj This building program will provide entirely adequate, substantial shops at a time when the school needs good shops and also needs to make room for larger enrollments. The three-hundred thousand dollar building is compact in design, eco- nomical and sturdy in construction, tailored precisely to the special needs of VVoodstock. The students of Community High are sin- cerely grateful to the board of education for its .whole-hearted support of a progresivc worthwhile high school program. Mr. Thor Emcicson was un- able to have his picture taken. MR. ROBERT VIEREGG Secretary MR. JOHN EMERY MR. WALTER THUROW

QCII-Ay Our faculty is not a group of people, who spend merely seven or eight hours at school, for many of their nights are spent grading papers and working with our organizations, here at school and away. The days that they spend at I.E.A. divisional meetings and the McHenry County Institute, are holidays for us. They are not only a help to us, but also to the community. Although they are busy with their personal lives, they still find the time for civic and fraternal organizations. Many belong to organizations which pertain to their specific fields, plus their memberships in the I .E.A. and N .E.A. During the summer, the faculty members travel a great deal, not only in the United States, but last summer in Europe and the Caribbean, too. Others spend their summers taking courses, which will aid them in their teaching Held. Their assistance and guidance has been a great help to us during our high school years, and will aid us greatly throughout our lives. MR, LARRY DALE: B.A., Illinois College.
