They, Plan Our Future MR. FREDERIC W. COOK Mr. Cook, our superintendent of schools, is a visitor familiar to us all. He and his perplexing questions are always a welcome interruption to our classes. His thoughtful remarks are general- ly helpful and we are not likely to forget them soon. MR. HENRY R. HUBBARD Quietness, orderliness, and de- pendability are the well-known qualities of Mr. Henry R. Hub- bard. His familiar figure is seen early and late about the school, bent upon some urgent business. We ask Mr. Hubbard to accept our affectionate re- gards and utmost respect, which he has won during his many years as vice-principal of PHS. DEAN ELEANOR REPPERT Dean Reppert is a newcomer to PHS this year. Already she has shown us that she is essen- tial here by the good work she is doing. The girls are especial- ly grateful to Dean Reppert for the “motherly” advice and coun- seling she has given them this year. DEAN GEORGE A. SMITH Who is Dean Smith? Why, he is that jovial gentleman who al- ways has a smile and a cheery “hello” for you. He will help you with your problems and give you some sound, “fatherly” advice. By the way, boys, the Dean believes there are no “bad bo ys” in this world.
