SENIOR COUNSELLOR RAYMOND LUSSENHOP He's a blonde haired guy, With a gleam in his eye, And he knows every 5-major excuse. He hears scholarship news, From colleges and U's,' And his bulletins are put to good use. ATTENDANCE FRANK R. HEITMAN Sitting behind a desk of oak, Ready to crack a corny joke, Is the Mr. Collins of the East. He's a big fellow 'tis true, And he can really scare you, 1 ADJUSTMENT RICHARD C. MCVEY In his cubby hole ofce, He's ready to scoff us, The Winfield gentleman farmer. You know him as Mac With his tests by the pack, And also as the grade school charmer ADJUSTMENT I WILLIAM EATON ' He wears bright spring ties, And has light blue eyes, And he eats 3-I when he can. He has big, broad shoulders, And millions of folders, But he's a right guy to say the least. He's the juniors' adjustment man. 1 i Y s NE: FJ? , M 45' , X X050 I -gm ! :, 6 739, f' K' w'u r , N N, b e if e Is fn- -10 ff fs If hi was 3 5' Q K5 - 'I .

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL GEORGE H. BRUSH Mr. George Brush, ' .ig i: if 1, since 1930 assistant 1'.. lofi' Principal in charge - A 1' - of the East Building, is confronted with much the same task ' -T i s .. in the East Building .- I as his colleague, Mr. r i .LA M Y . ' '1 ., ' F fl.. . r J 9 T 15' is lla s D N Humiston, is in the r 5 fr- - 'AT West. . - ..... -. ,A-gr- He came to Austin High in 1916 and has been assistant principal for 29 years, first at the Orr Branch from 1920 to 1930 and in the East Building since then. Like Mr. Humiston, Mr. Brush is also quietly prominent, and his guiding hand is responsible for many of the social ac- tivities-including assemblies-that are held in the East Building. He has the best posture of the school, And is quiet as a rule, Except when the teachers get together. In the East Building he's chief, A He,s as sprightly as a leaf, Thereis no one who can do his job better. COORDINATOR EDWARD R. LEACI-I He collects waste paper, His bond sales don't taper, He arranged the prom at the Edgewater Beach. Of the Commercial Department he's head, He sure earns his bread, He's War Co-ordinator Mr. Leach. REGISTRAR EDNA CLARK She has a great big vault, And nary a fault, She gets -diplomas for servicemen. She keeps credit records for the school, And believe me, she's nobody's fool, You can find her in the registraris den. ATTENDANCE HAROLD COLLINS At 7:59 A.M. he goes through the door And greets the students, one hundred or more, To his eight ojclock class. He is as strict as fate, And no one comes in late, Not even a cute blondie lass. DEAN OF GIRLS MARION M. STONE She has a quiet, solemn tone, She's the head chaperon, S he's the girls, adviser and their dean. She teaches English too, There's nothing she canit do, And you certainly can't call her mean. ll 6 if Q is iii il . i s SNES! r . 1- 4 r' mr., EMPLOYMENT HAROLD C. RITTER Mr, Ritter, I want a job, So say Mary or Bob, When they walk into 102 West. just three hours a day, But with very good pay, Is his reply to them and the rest. PROFESSORS I.Q.

IRENE WHITE MISS HELEN WILLIS W' Our English classes at times this year brought us the reali- zation of how won- derful a thing is the spoken and written word, and at times the sad realization of tr ' how far we fall short of any sort of mas- tery of our mother tongue either in speak- ing or in writing, yes, even in under- standing. We have been the beneficiaries this year Q- iffffy if-f y Wi R gg 4 't'2.:.:g. ' r TF -- w 'iliilff --,.. .. 'iff y' 'il T ,ws J Z I fzf , w nf . I 4 . V, .

We have been introduced to some of the great classics of our language, many passages in which took on larger meanings in the light of war-time situations. We also read much material dealing directly with the war. For many of us the reading of Time, News-Week, Readers' Digest, Coronet and other quality magazines will be a life-time interest thanks to the requirements of our high school days. This was the year in which our princi- pal, Mr. Sommers, personally furthered the progressive plan of having every Eng- lish classroom converted into a library- equipped reading laboratory where the student is encouraged above all else to read and read, and where he will find materials of all kinds available to entice him into pleasurable and profitable reading. Period, comma, semi-colon, dash, Gerand, subjunctive-all sound like hash g If English I cannot learn to speak, I might have moresuceess in Greek. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT it MR. ORLA R.
