For Her Knowledge, Her HQQ7, Hersey In living and learning one finds those who generously give of their time and of themselves to help others. Many teachers fit this de- scription, yet there exist certain out- standing ones who are respected not only as teachers but as individuals. This book is dedicated to such a per- son. Noted by many frustrated stu- dents for her emphasis on correct English grammar and form, she is also known for her Willingness to help and her work as advisor of the Senior Service Club. The 1969 CREST is dedicated to a firm teacher and a genuine person, Miss Muriel Peterson.

Harvey Tucker, Assistant Principal Adm1nistratien Sets Leadership Example It was the responsibility of every high school to face the problems of the community and to grow to its fullest educational capacity at the same time. The principal of Peoria High School, Mr. Harry Whitaker, enforced Central's rules firmly yet was admired for his understanding and his Willingness to confer with students and parents. His relaxed attitude and his presence at school functions familiarized him with stu- dents. Mr. Whitaker also gave col- lege and job recommendations to students. Mr. Harvey Tucker, assistant prin- cipal, could often be found quietly observing a class discussion from the back of the classroom. His major job of planning the schedules of all teachers and classes was part of this interest in the process of learning. Mr. Tucker Was also in charge of eligibility sheets for cheerleaders and boys participating in sports. The confident attitudes of Mr. Whitaker and Mr. Tucker set strong examples for the student body.
