Home Room Mothers The Senior Homeroom Moth- ers, of whom Mrs. Alfred B. Tall- man is chairman, plan and assist in carrying out the many social functions of Hamburg High School. They preside at the Sophomore Hop, the Junior Prom, the Senior Picnic, and climax their activities by decorat- ing the auditorium for Commence- ment. These mothers, each repre- senting her homeroom, meet with Mr. Simmons, the principal, at least once each month and dis- cuss, in conjunction with interest- ed teachers, the ever changing plan and phases of school work. Taken as a group, the Senior Home Room Mothers play an im- portant part in school activities.

This year Dr. Hartwell's interesting talks presented the problems con- fronting the students and suggest- ed methods of improving the con- ditions which create them. This organization has helped pupils by costuming plays, holding dances, and presenting educational mov- ies. For these and many other in- tangible aids, Hamburg High School is indebted.

Student Council Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, the epi- tome of democracy, is the criterion of Hamburg High School. Modeling the school system after the federal government, the students elect repre- sentatives to the council. This organization sponsored by Mr. Simmons, determines the form of government vital to the welfare of the school. A few of the many successful activities of the Student Council are the sponsoring of social hours, charting of attendance records, and the organizing of a monitor system. Thus, through student participation, a highly democratic form of government has been established in Hamburg High School. 21

CRITERIA riff Left to right: Miss Pierce, Miss Clark, Miss Blanck, Miss Mumback. Office Secretaries Efhciently and quietly the office secretaries manage the clerical and statistical affairs of the school. However, without their able as- sistance it would be impossible to carry out so accurate and bene- ficial a school program. Besides the daily duties of keeping attend- ance records and distributing notices, Miss Pierce, Miss Blanck, Miss Clark, and Miss Mumback, stand ready to aid and advise the students at all times. Not only are these secretaries invaluable to the school organization, but they are considered as true friends by all the students. Left to right: Mrs. Schultz, Mr. Schieber, Mr. Sauer, Mr. Duchmann, Missing: Department of ML Ludwig, Superintendents Some people are born to be great orators, and sway masses by the spoken word. Some rise to power through an outstandingly magnetic personality. Others serve, performing quietly and thoroughly the tasks that are es- sential. Such are the members of the department of superintend- ence. Working industriously, day and night, they perform the duties which are indispensable to the ef- ficient functioning of the school. 23
