The success of the school year has been due in large part to the members of the School Board, who
have given so much of their time and energy to [the] solution of school problems and consideration of school projects. Mrs. Helen SUTHERLAND, who is the first woman to hold the office of president, has shown much initiative, patience, and tact in handling the duties of the office. Among the projects accomplished this year are the introduction of instruction in Physical Education, introduction of Junior High School music, organization of an Attendance Department, the appointment of Dean of Girls and Vice Principal of the High School, extension of Home Economics and Manual Arts courses to Junior High School, the extension of playground activities, renovation of all grade buildings, and the construction of the new High School.
Projects which are still under consideration are the equipment of the athletic field with bleachers, and
the gymnasium with electric bleachers, the extension of the opportunity room idea, the provision of additional members of the school force to take care of the health needs of both grades and high school, the appointment of Physical Director to operate in grades, the creation of an Art Department in the High School, and new grade buildings at such a time as the finances of the city will allow, and the resources of the city will permit.
