E. L. Bowsher mloerinfenflenf 0 ,SQAOOA For sixteen years Mr. E. L. Bowsher has been the guiding force behind the system oi education in the Toledo public schools. His is the responsibility tor the program of instruction, tor the selection ot teachers, tor the building prof gram, and tor the maintenance ot all buildings in use. Mr. Bowsher plans to improve little by little all the schools so that they will have the most modern equipment and the best methods oi training possi- ble. At Scott the auditorium and halls have already been decorated. Perhaps his most outstanding contribution to education has been his activity in securing the iunds necessary for proper maintenance and expansion ot the school sys- tem. For the November 1951 election he organized a citizens' committee which campaigned diligently to secure the passing oi the school levies. These levies made it possible to give the employees ot the school board salaries equal to those received in other cities the same size as Toledo. Thus Mr. Bowsher is able to hire enough well trained teachers to adequately stait the schools. We, the students, are grateful to Mr. Bowsher for the efforts he is making to keep the Toledo school system abreast of the times.

11 emariam .fa-f Miss Henrietta Staadecker The summer of l95l ended the teaching career of a woman who had taught at Scott for thirty-eight years. Although Miss Staadecker is no longer with us, her memory will forever be with those who had contact with her. The memories of how sweet and friendly she was to new students in her classes, of how her joking manner would put a person at ease immediately, of how her love of lite was like a magnet which drew students to her, of how understanding she was where home assignments were concerned, and of how careful she was not to overburden the pupils with too much in one evening-these memories cannot be forgotten. Perhaps the grandest thing about her was her love of life. There wasn't a day that she didn't have a cheery word for everyone. An eternal optimist, she always looked on the bright side of life. No matter how bad she may have felt, her students never suspected that anything was wrong, for she was constantly laughing and joking with them. Her philosophy was to enjoy life to its fullest, and now she has gone to begin enjoying life anew.

l Richard I. Lctngsta:H vinci on 0 5205 For the past eight years Mr. Richard I. Langstafi has been the principal of Scott High School. During this time it has been his duty to see that the school is run efficiently, and under his guidance such has been the case. Being the principal of a large high school requires great patience and perseverance. With both these virtues Mr. Langstaff is equally endowed. Unlimited is his patience in working out the problems of individual students, and he perseveres day and night to help them in any way possible. Because oi his sincere interest in the students he spends much time helping many oi them make out their schedules. lt is this interest which spurs the students on to greater achievement, and this, in turn, accounts tor Scott's high scholastic standing.
