MISS VERA EGER On the third floor of the east Wing one finds an instructor who also serves in many other capacities, she is Miss Vera Eger, junior dean of girls. The girls of the junior high find in her the friend they need When troubles come their Way. Whenever one finds a project of Iunior Red Cross, one also finds this certain lady behind it. To her is given the task of acclimating the very young ladies of the building to the customs of our high school. Miss Eger, in all her interests, deserves the highest praise of her students. She always finds time to listen to her girls' problems. Lgliggffg MISS MABEL I. BOURQUIN ln the room next to the principal's office is a Woman that every student knows, Miss Mabel I. Bourquin, senior dean of girls. She is the guid- ing light that makes the true path of life evident to every girl under her guidance. Kind, yet very firm, she makes one realize that the niceties of life are necessary to everyday living. ln her the growing young Woman finds that certain something which inspires the qualities of a real lady. Her criticism involves her special type of humor that no one can equal. In all the capacities in which she serves us, she is truly an inspiration. To every student she presents an everlasting symbol of good faith.

MR. W. W. NIXON Down in the basement there is a certain person who knows everyone, and all the students know him: he is Mr. W. W. Nixon, senior dean of boys. When a fellow has his troubles, and he has to have some advice, that is the person to whom he goes. He is always just chuck full of good solutions for those trivial matters that somehow get under one's skin. When one wonders about anything con- cerning sports around the school, Mr. Nixon can answer your questions. He is the faculty manager of ath- letics and vitally interested in what his boys are doing in the way of sports. Mr. Nixon is a good sport, and we couldn't get along without him. A Q ' r W . fi 1 1? yl zf A is X MR. THOMAS E. BENDER ln a small room squeezed between two larger rooms on the second floor in the west wing is a fellow the Iunior High boys know quite Well. He is Mr. Thomas Bender, junior clean of boys. Besides being the one elected to reprimand the younger fellows- when they need it--he is our football coach. For being such a little person he surely has the pep and go that makes the world go 'round. When- ever the student body gets a dull streak and needs pepping up, Bender is the man to do it. Mr. Bender is a very capable person, and we are proud to have him with us.
