MASTEC Cr MINDING No lo nger does the saying Spare the rod and spoil the chdd serve as a guide for our leaders today. No longer do old, whit; bearded gentlemen stand before a body of young people in a domineer- ing way and set down the law. Instead we have at the helm of our ship two important leaders whose goal is reached hen they are able to cooperate with students and be a part of them, rather than dictate. hen the secondary schools were organized there was only one person who ruled over the bois- terous group of young people but as the work progressed a time came for another helper. The of- fice of principal of the high school was thus created. Our captain, Mr. Elliott, who for four years has guided our ship, has all the qualities which make one a good leader. He is popular with the students because of his willingness to work and the interest which he takes in extra-curricular activities and mdividual student problems which may relate to past, present, or future. Mr. Elliott states that his favorite hobbies are reading and playing with the kiddies. I have always had dreams of traveling extensively, said Mr. Elliott, but they never seemed to have materialized. However, don ' t think that I have never been off the farm. Mr. Elliott has visited Toronto, Canada, and Buffalo, New York, and has recently toured the state of Kansas. Before moving to Angola Mr. Elliott was a resident of Toledo, Ohio. % hen speaking of Angola our principal explained, I like the city of Angola very much because of the tine friendships that have been formed and because of the high ideals of the people of the community. In referring to the present generation Mr. Elliott declared . v that they are a rather daring, frank, chance-taking lot but they are mighty fine and are doing some spectacular things. Not only does Mr. Elliott stand high in the activities of - iL ' aiHv m the high school but he is a strong worker in the Lions Club, Farm Bureau, and 4-H Club; also he is superintendent of the Methodist Sunday school. Our principal received his Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture from Ohio State University and his Master ' s de- gree from Purdue University. Mr. Elliott says that his greatest achievement is having the opportunity of being principal of A. H. S. Clayton H. Elliott Principal Page elc

UNDERSTANDING Miss Yeager, a newcomer in our midst this year, hailed from Carroll County, Indiana. She is very athletic minded and in her health education classes she teaches students to imi- tate Popeye the Sailor Man with his daily doses of spinach. Then she was responsible for this year ' s May Day festival, a pageant we shall not soon forget. The square of the hypotenuse — ! Yes, Mr. Dygert is the gentleman suggested. His hobbies are archery and roller skating. In practice of the first he can illustrate A straight line is the shortest — and he can skate in circles with tangents — but not right angles. Pastel shades, charcoal sketches, murals, a Raphael, or a Michael Angelo! Miss Ale knows all that needs to be known about any one of these. Numerous are accomplishments of stu- dents, suggestions for which she has given. Hats off to Druck, the inspiration for our basketball boys! Along with the job of training the Hornets to buzz and sting, he teaches the sophomores the intricacies of Queen Elizabeth ' s court and the terrors of the French Revolution. Miss Reed, Latin mentor, has a permanent smile as well as a naturally permanent auburn wave. Latin contest work and publication of the Di Immortales have been among her projects this year. Mr. Certain is to be complimented because of accomplished bookkeepers and stenograph- ers who have stepped into offices immediately upon graduation. Mr. Certain is sponsor of the gun club and we might add a crack shot. In college I never had any more thorough English work than I had in Miss Powell ' s class in A. H. S. This statement made by more than one grad- uate of Angola is convincing evidence of the value of Miss Powell ' s instruction. Tall and imposing is the gentleman we see in the upper hall in the mornings and noons. He is none other than Mr. Handy, authority on all historical subjects — or any others, for that matter. He trains A. H. S. forensists in the way they should go. This year it was via Socialized Medicine. Did you say the culinary arts, Madame? Miss Young believes that every girl should study cooking, dressmaking, and care of the home — but don ' t we all? The juniors unani- mously agree that Miss Young is an excellent class sponsor too. To Miss Shultz falls the task of instruct- ing future journalists, maybe future editors of The New York Times. She teaches compli- cated clauses and quotation marks to the soph- omores and asks the freshmen to learn Abou Ben Adhem. Angola High ' s master of the baton is A. D. Lekvold, who came to us this year from Min- nesota. He has done splendid work with the orchestra, band, and smaller music groups. Two operettas, two concerts, and much con- test work are to his credit. Say, can I get a tablet? This familiar question confronts Margaret Miller, who super- vises the stock room and keeps things running smoothly in the office. Sometimes we wonder how her patience can last, but it always does. XX ' hat would our building be like if it weren ' t for our jovial janitors? They do much more for us than we usually give them credit for. Uncle Bert has always been everybody ' s friend. He and Mr. Fifer keep the main build- ing spick and span while Mr. Easterday has charge of our fun and frolic house, the gym. Vern Easterday Vern Fifer Bert Wilcox Pasc thirteen
