Principal A. I. Neumann The school year of 1942-43 Is rapidly receding into one of happy memories. It has been a year which has brought many fine achievements and challenges. Many students have won high distinctions in scholarship, outstanding honors in service to the school in its extra-curricular activities, and noteworthy successes in aiding the war efforts of our government against those evil forces which are attempting to destroy democracy and freedom. To the graduates of this year's class go the sincerest, best wishes of the entire school — the faculty, the students, and the administrative officers. May the future for each graduate be actually much brighter than it seems to be at present! May your highest ambitions be realized! Congratulations and the best of everything to you always. Sincerely, Principal Soated it Mitt Viola Volk- ens, attendance clarlt, dis- cutting office problems with Mrt. Norma Pott, princi- pal's secretary.

OUR COUNSELORS Every American has the right to live his own life, developing his talents, and choosing an occupation. So, in school we have the right to select the subjects we desire; we have the privi- lege of being counseled by competent teachers. Each counselor, supervising the conduct as well as schedules, follows a section of one class through the entire high school course. Soon be- coming acquainted with their counselors, the students eagerly seek them for anything from absence slips to their place in a post-war world. Miss Leona L. Soehron, director of counseling. GUIDE US In the counseling office is a complete file for each student. Thus, the bench has a refer- ence for the grades, activities, and character of the counselees. If a schoolteacher's work is never done, then a counselor's tasks are unend- ing. Besides teaching regular classes, they must be available in the counseling room during cer- tain periods. Helping plan schedules, advising on the choice of a college, encouraging the dis- heartened, and congratulating holders of good reports, all are in a day's routine. Our counselors, left to right: Wallace Evans, Miss Lucille Burianek, Miss Ma- bel Johnstone. R. M. Ham- mes. Miss Adelaide 8alluff. and C. W. Hach. Seated in the center is Miss Elinor Bein, the counsoling secre- tary. 10
