But to those who have been good it is the center of all activity, one of the friendliest spots in school. Here in the southwest corner of second floor is located head- quarters for the Ballard administration. In the main office is gracious Miss Donnell of whom more questions are asked during the day than it is possible to comprehend. She answers them, too, besides handling office money and records, writing letters and reports of all descrip- tions, and being generally indispensable. At the desk nearest the files is smiling Miss Millenbach. who is attendance clerk and also has charge of eligibility lists for athletics, records of class changes, and tardy roll lists. Also located here are the offices of chief executive Mr. DeVilbiss and vice-principal Mr. Dickerman. Their quarters are small, but from them comes infinite wisdom in the management of a student body now numbering over twenty-one hundred. To the administration also belongs beloved Mr. Coulter, cus- todian of buildings and grounds. From his office on first floor. Daddy directs the work of five janitors and a matron.

Many of our students are of Nordic origin and possess the sterling qualities of the Scandinavian people. We are proud of our Nordic basketball team which brought us a' well-earned champion- ship. The Nordic edition of the Shingle should be another champion, an All-American one. Our school is a championship school in offer- ing boys and girls opportunities for self development. With the de- pression years behind us, the future is promising to be more generous with young people. Those who make the most of their school oppor- tunities can face the future with high hopes and great expectations. George L. DeVilbiss nzzomg ii

all lockers and handles all locker-keys. Whenever there are minor repairs to be made about the buildings, a distress call is sent to the custodians rooms, and quickly Daddy Coulter appears. grinning in the manner which makes him adored and respected by all, ready to make things shipshape. Two worthwhile projects accomplished last year were the im- provement of the study hall doors to swing outward only. and an addition to the boys' athletic stockroom. New faculty members included Miss Wickstrom, Mr. Griffin. and Mrs. Arnold in the English Department: Miss Meservey and Mr. Minzel. commercial teachers: Mr. VanDevanter. chemistry: Miss K. Russell. English and physical education: Mrs. Ross, music: Miss Neffeler. French: and Mr. Armstrong, history. ln the English department a change was made in the Spring. New and revised literature courses for freshmen were instituted, with all reading based on certain centers of interest. Instead of reading literature of one type for a certain period of time the student was encouraged to read widely, following his own interest. thus giving literature a more universal appeal than in the past. A counseling service introduced last September met with en- thusiastic comment. Room two-eleven was set aside as a conference room. Miss Chamberlin, Miss Coulter. Miss Van Winkle, Mr. Mcf Comb, and Mr, Almquist. all assigned different periods as counselors. talked with students during their study periods about their school problems and plans for the future. ln this way experienced faculty members reached and advised a great many students. leading them to greater enlightenment and consequently better preparation for the opportunities given under modern educational trends. limi' is t1ltt'tlu.s tltfllflfl! 117 Ihr' tmflire.
