Gescheidler, secretary, and Walter N. Bercaw, treasurer. Mr. Wolf was born and reared in Hammond, and is a good example of the successful business man. In his youth he was quite an athlete, being especially proficient in baseball. He is interested in all school doings, and has a great deal to do with their success. Mr. Bercaw was born and educated in Indiana. He received his earliest training at Anderson, and his later education at Indiana University. Upon graduation he entered into the employment of the Standard Oil Company as a personal relations man. He, too, is especially interested in sports. He enjoys golf and tobogganing, as well as giving close attention to our high school football. Mr. Gescheidler, secretary of the Board of Education, was born in Hammond, educated in the public school, and at the end of his school career went to work at the city hall. Later he became affiliated with the Hammond Trust and Savings Bank, where he now holds the position of vice-president and head of the Insurance Department. Every man has a hobby and Mr. Gescheidler's happens to be fishing, along with that he backs the school in all of its activities. He is the new member. These three men, who compose the board, may well be complimented upon the past successful year. MR. WOLF MR. GESCllElDI.ER MR. BERCAW

Mr. A. L. Spohn Hammond High is indeed lucky to have secured a man such as is Mr. A. L. Spohn for its principal. He is a man of the highest integrity, he is to be trusted far, and is very capable of handling the many and varied problems which confront a leader of a large school. 'He is always ready to give assistance or advice, and sees that everyone gets his just deserts. If one plays fair, he is sure to be treated equally Well. it Nlr. Spohn has worked hard and faithfully to build up the school to its present status. A large share of the success which has come to us in various lines is due to his careful management. Our bands, debaters, musical organiza- tions, clubs, and papers, all owe a lot to his support of school endeavors. Our leader is a graduate of Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana, and of the University of Chicago. Previous to his present position, he taught English in the Hammond High School, and in East High School, lwinneapolis. Like most people who have a large responsibility resting on their shoulders, llr. Spohn has a hobby. One of his chief delights is to work in the yard or garden, and may be ,found on his own plot of ground at most any time during the year. H. H. S.
