Dean, chairman, delivered their report concerning the main areas of the school, consisting of school staff and administration, school plant, pupil activities, library, guidance, and program of studies. All school functions were praised, but a great deal of improvement, necessary as well as desired, was noted. An additional 20 acres of land south of the school was recommended to be purchased to expand the athletic facilities. The expenditure of more money for need to purchase books for the school library so that it will meet the highest current standards.
