ATION Edna E. Woodsum Miss Woodsum is Mr. Proctor’s gracious and efficient secretary. Her interest in young people is generally known, and all who come in contact with her respect her. Ralph W. Proctor One of the friendliest and most sincere men that we have ever seen is Mr. Proctor. When he mentions himself it is not of his accomplishments, of wliich there are many, but of his few failures or when the joke was on him. Mr. Proctor was a star athlete during his high school and college days and thei ' efore takes great interest in spoi ' ts at B.H.S. You can find him at any football or basketball game. It is very encouraging to the boys playing that their superinten- dent thinks enough of them to leave his stack of work to come to see them win or lose.
