MR. H. R. HUBBARD MR. F. W. COOK We're sure you've seen Mr. Henry A. Hubbard, our Vice-Principal, striding down the hall, pensive- ly, quietly, but never too busy to say “‘hello.’’ We will always hold him in highest esteem and re- spect, which he has won for himself in his many years as Vice-Principal of PHS. Every boy (and girl) knows Dean Smith. We have passed him by in the biology room, or we have spoken with him in his office, where he has given us some really good solutions to our prob- lems. Mr. Smith, Dean of Boys, is one person whom we will remember not only for his good advice, but also for his cheery, jovial manner. Mr. Cook, our Superintendent of Schools, quietly stepped in as the history class was discussing a serious problem. After thinking a few minutes, he asked a student a question. Then the discussion began with opinions flying back and forth. We all agree that Mr. Cook was always a welcome interruption to our classes, and we won't forget his interesting visits. A soft knock is heard, a pleasant voice answers, ‘““Come in,’’ and we enter the office of Mrs. Beatrice Texier, Dean of Girls. This is the first year we've had the pleasure of receiving Dean Texier’s sound advice. Her understanding counsel has helped to guide us through our senior year, and we will always be grateful to her. DEAN G. A. SMITH DEAN B. TEXIER hrs |
