WARNPIR GUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS is coin- posed of successful business nien and women who have co-operated heartily with the superintendent, teachers and pupils in bring- ing the school to its present high state of etli- ciency. From a student's standpoint the best thing that can be said ofthe board is that its members have 11ot forgotten that they were once young. Wliilte believing in careful atten- tion to business during school hours, they have not objected to the reasonable reereations of the pupils and have passed no odious Blue Laws, but have encouraged athletic Work in our school. The present board is the first to be elected under the new systein of voting. The publishers of the Annual take pleasure in presenting on the opposite page tl1e like- nesses of the Board of Directors of the City of York. St? SB K 9' P1 F 5 5 5 C ae K Q K 999666 ls

b jfacult A ' O HONOR the well known wishes of the members of the faculty to be kept in the background in this Annual and at the same time to accord to them the respect that is their just due is no easy matter. Only a brief statement of the part taken by each member of thc faculty in the work of the High School will be taken up as the friends of the school are already aware of the deep respect and loyalty that are held by the pupils for their several instructors. Superintendent C. R. Atkinson has been in charge of our city schools for the past three years. During this time he has made his presence felt in the High School, taking three and four classes in connection with his other work. This year he has had charge of two sections of the Caesar class and one period in the ninth grade. He has given close attention to the work of the L. L. A., and has found time to give some much needed encouragement to the athletic aspirations of the high school. Merle S. Brown, principal of the High School, has given most of his attention to the science work of the High School. Through his iniiuence the laboratory work in physics and chemistry has been greatly strengthened. He has also classes in Cicero and Virgil, and he has a very original method of teaching botany. He is a most valuable aid in the running of the L. L. A. Miss Edna B. Carscadden, assistant principal has had charge of the literature work of the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades and in addition has taken first and second year German, which were added to the course last year. Miss Carscadden has general supervision of the N. N. S. literary society and assists in the planning of its programs. Miss Belle W. Reynolds has all her classes in the ninth grade except the general history of the eleventh grade. She has the responsibility of the V. V. A. literary society, whose membership is composed of the ninth grade girls. Mr. Charles L. VVray, the latest addition to the faculty, has normal reviews in the twelfth grade, source history and mathematics of the Sophomore and Freshman classes. Mr. VVray entered the High School as an instructor last fall. sf-
