MR. R. l.. SWElTZER, B. S., M. S. Principal Mr. Sweitzer is the tactful and understand- ing principal of our high school. He directs the school's program-arranges assembly pro- grams, sport activities, social events and the many little things that make a school system run smoothly-and teaches commercial law and bookkeeping. He can always be relied upon to handle any situation diplomatically, and because of his fine sense of humor and sympathetic manner he will always hold a place of honor among the students of Otto. 1 i MR. L. F. GERBER, B. S., M. Ed. Supervising Principal Returning from the Philippines to his duties as supervising principal of Otto Township, Mr. Gerber brought new inspiration to the faculty and student body. He furnished us with two interesting assembly programs and provided many educational bits of information about the life, customs, dress and topography of the Philippine Islands. This information is par- ticularly pertinent and beneficial now because of our interest in the Far East as one of the theaters of war.

num 054 ,Sfmt mmcfm The control of the Otto Township public schools is vested in a board of five directors. Two members are elected every two years on the odd numbered years, except when there is only one vacancy caused by the expiration of the fifth member's term. Otto Township has been fortunate indeed in securing the services of men to act as school directors who are outstanding leaders in their communities. The Ottocrat wishes to offer recognition and pay tribute to these civic-minded citizens who willingly and without compensation give of their time and service to see that the children of Otto Township may have the best schools that can be provided. Mr. Milford Loop is the dean of the present Board of Directors. He is now serving his thirteenth consecutive year. Messrs. Chauncey Wasson, John Cun- ningham and Paul Kahle were elected for the first time in 1931 and have served ever since. All are now serving their eleventh year. Mr. Ralph Hulse is the iunior member, being first appointed to fill an unexpired term and then regularly elected last year. The Board elects its own officers and the present organization is given be- low, together with the beginning and expiration dates of each director's term of service.

Jwlldfy- MR. FORREST CUMMINGS, B. S., M. S. lt size is any indication of knowl- edge Mr. Cummings's understanding ofthe science that he teaches must in- deed be vast. Good-natured, well- liked by all, he has increased his al- ready large number of friends since the acquirement of his menagerie. MR. HOWARD FENNER, B. S. One of our most conscientious and cooperative workers, Mr. Fenner teaches science, geography and math for the junior high school students. He knows just how to guide them through these exploratory courses in order to provide them with a solid' background for further study. MR. ROBERT FIELD, B. S. Enthusiastic leader of the band Mr. Field is a master of swing and progressive ideas. He came to Otto in October when Mr. Aiken left to join the Army and has already established himself in the hearts of all music lovers. MISS TWILA A. HOOVER, B. S. Miss Hoover directs our girls' chorus, mixed chorus and ensemble besides supervising the music in the two grade schools. Usually happy and smiling, she has one real worry now- making the rounds without tires. But she really likes walking and is hoping for that promised station wagon.
