ADMINISTRATION As school opened for the I-934-1935 year, the ever-ready Administration-Mr. Kloos, Mrs. Kidd, Mrs. Scott and Mr. Mensenkamp-were on hand to welcome the incoming Freshmen. An introduction to each of these is in order. Dividing his attention among teaching bookkeeping, keeping financial accounts, and coaching the athletic teams, Mr. Kloos is a very busy man-never too busy, however, to make new friends, exhibit his sense of humor, or give some fatherly advice. Wliat is there about Mrs. Kidd that so appeals to the student body? Only a few of her desirable qualities can be mentioned here. I-Ier impartiality toward the students, her friendly manner, her optimistic views, and her willingness to co-operate are her most outstanding attributes. All in all she's considered one of the best. Upon the Dean of Girls rests the responsibility of the entire feminine element of the school. Whose shoulders could better carry such a weight than Mrs. Scott's? She is to be commended for her cheerful disposition midst all the problems presented daily by the girls. Her capability, her ambition, her efforts: all tend to make Mrs. Scott a leader of activities in school life. Finally comes the introduction to the supervisor of the intelligence quotient tests, Mr. Mensen- kamp. His extemporaneous vvitticisms have added greatly to the enjoyment of his algebra, geometry, and trigonometry classes. Thinking of one of his favorite expressions, Absence makes the heart grow fonder, the mind grow weaker, and the great grow smaller, one can readily perceive the philosophy of Mensey's life. Because he has undertaken to teach college-going Seniors higher mathematics, college algebra and tri gonornetry, he well deserves the appreciation students have for him. With such an administration overseeing school activities, is it any wonder life at Freeport High moves along so smoothly and pleasantly? Page Eleven

ADMINISTRATION L. A. FULWIDER Principal of Freeport High School Education is a personal achievement. All that the board of education, teachers and books can do is to give the student an opportunity to achieve an education. The school may aid the student to discover his own interests and abilities. The student will find the school an agency by means of which he may realize his maximum potential- ities. But always the chief factors in education are the student's natural talent and his personal drive to develop and train himself to realize in his own life his latent possibilities. Personal ambition, the will to achieve, the drive to unfold, enrich and mature his personality .will always be the real source of power in the student's achieve- ment in education. Qnly by achieving his maximum personality may the student be of the highest service to himself andto the society that has offered him free, the opportunities of education. You educate yourself. Education, in school and college and in all the days to follow, is a perSO1121l achievement. ' f Page Ten
