Our Hes! in Wu Mrs. Sara Ethel Rhode, a most efficient secretary to Mr. Deatherage, is always on the job. Her ef- ficiency keeps office routine moving smoothly. Her work is both stenographic and clerical. She is in charge of almost all of the school correspondence and permanent student records. Not only does she have clerical and stenographic duties but also her day's work includes countless routine tasks. We wish to express our appreciation to Mrs. Rhodes for her ever-ready willingness to help a student in distress. MRS. SARA ETHEL RHODE Secretary GLEN R. DEATHERAGE Principal Glen R as we fondly call our principal is often seen pacing down the main hall, head bent, with his hands fold- ed behind his back. Other times he can be seen standing near the auditorium center doors looking off into space, meditating - yes w- pondering on this problem or that issue-what is best to do for the benefit of all. True, he is very pleasant and understanding, but at times students find him quite stern. His subtle humor has made him very popular with the students. To the faculty and other school workers he is co-operative and sin- cere. Through his efficiency he has given j.H.S. an advanced and democratic school. His keen understanding of school prob- lems has stimulated in both faculty and students a greater interest in curriculum and co-curriculum activities.

The manner in which he con- ducts all his affairs shows that Mr. White is a man of precision. A primary concern of his is knowing where every pupil is at every hour of the day. Upon his capable shoulders rests the difficult re- sponsibility of solving many un- solvable problems that arise. He is always willing to help the student who is honest and diligent. His ready wit has made low hurdles of many a student's problems. For do- ing well the most difficult, and, too often, the least appreciated job at Joplin High, our hats are off to our assistant principal, A. Roy White. MR. A. ROY WHITE ssisfanl Principals MR. ELMER PENNINGTON Operating efficiently on a new business basis, Assistant Principal Elmer Pennington's office is really a small scale banking firm. All funds for classes, societies, organiza- tions, activity tickets-in fact all funds are handled through his most efficient office. Mr. Pennington is not only a capable keeper of our treasury but he also has charge of all concession assignments, all gate- duty assignments, and of checking locks and lockers to the eleven hundred students of our school. In- deed our assistant principal, Mr. Pennington, has a full time financ- ial job which he handles with the utmost efficiency.
