Administration Guides School Progress Seated: Mr. William Polete, Mrs. Arden Taylor. Mr. Harlan Russell. Standing: Mr. Marvin Palmer, Mr. James Kortsen. An outstanding school must have the ever helpful cooperation from the Board of Education. The stu- dents of CGUHS have always been very fortunate in that people like these have served so very effi- ciently on our school board. Mr. Polete began his first term as a member of the Board of Education. Defender of the well behaved, punisher of the unmannered, and friend to those who need a friend is Mr. Arthur Brown, (below), principal of CGUHS. His thousand and one office duties and sponsorship of Student Council show outstanding organization. Thank you Mr. Brown for your cooperation and interest inCGUHS. Mr. Loren Curtis, (above), is our capable chief administrator. Without him and his untiring efforts, the various departments of our school could not have improved with the passing time. Mr. Curtis was one of four chosen to go abroad last fall by the North Central Association of Schools, an accrediting association, under the direction of the Armed Forces overseas. The dividends of his efforts can be seen daily in the smooth efficiency of our school and its progress in past years. We give our sincere thanks to this fine man. 10
