Administration Mr. Delgehausen, high school principal, distributes th9 weekly bulletin to the teacher's information boxes. New Office Personnel Given Appointments One of the changes in administration for this school year at BPHS, was the appointment of Mr. Delgehausen as our new high school principal. Mr. Delgehausen, alias Mr. D , has been previously associated with the Belle Plaine school system. His teaching experience includes twelve years, all spent at BPHS. In the spring of 1967, Mr. Delgehausen had the opportunity to act as the temporary principal due to the illness of Mr. Lindquist. Then he was promoted to principal for the 1967-68 school term. His major duties are concerned with the curriculum development, attendance, discipline of the student body, extra curriculars, and general student welfare. Mr. Delgehausen obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree from Gustavus Adolphus College and his Master of Science degree from Mankato State. Also new in the system this year is a fulltime assistant superintendent. Mr. Lindquist, affiliated with BPHS for twenty-five years, filled this position. His primary duties are concerned with the federal programs such as; Elementary and Secondary Edu- cation Act, Title I, Title 2: and the National De- fense Education Act, Title 3. Mr. Lindquist was also in complete charge of the hot lunch program reports. He has a Bachelor and Master of Arts de- grees. Assistant superintendent, Mr. Lindquist, double checks his re- ports on the non-profit making hot lunch program. 25

Mr. Harms took charge of the program. Office practice courses benefitted from the purchase of a Friden fully automatic calculator which performs all mathematical computations auto- matically. Other new machines are: Burroughs and Clary ten-key adding-listing machines, Burroughs full keyboard adding machine with a wide carriage, Monroe rotary calculator and a Totalia printing calculator. Also purchased were two Heyer Super- scopes for preparing lettering and pictures on stencils for mimeoqraphing and four electric Royal 550 typewriters. The department now has thirteen typewriters, twenty-four manual typewriters and twelve adding and calculating machines. The twelfth grade home economics class con- centrated on the redecorating of the dining room. The students refinished the table, chairs and buffet in antique style, and chose draperies to blend with the decor. 27
