SCHOOL BOARD SERVE OUR SCHOOL Continuing on the Board of Education this year were Mr. Don Hammitt, President, and Mrs. Emmett Saxman, Treasure er. The term of ofiice of Mr. 'William Parks expired in Au- gust. Mr. Don Hammitt Mrs. Emmett Saxman The new member of the School Board, replacing Mr, Parks, is Mr. John Paxson. After graduating from P. H. S. in 1933 and attending Ball State Teachers College, he became a teacher himself. So Mr. Paxson brings to his position on the board the viewpoint of a school man as well as that of a parent, for he has two little youngsters of his own. Dur- ing the war he was a lieutenant in the Navy and is now affiliated with the Fog Company of Indiana, dis- tributors of the TIFA unit, which ex- terminates germs, insects, and pests from buildings and lawns. -sw., X l..

OFFICE HELP, ADMINISTRATION AND Shown at the left are the two office secretaries. Sarah Helen Leonhard, secretary to Mr. Brubaker fleftj, and Betty Lingo, secretary to Mr. Weller, are a good team. They are not only ellicient and depend- able, but also cheerful and helpful to us. We students appreciate what they do and feel sure the teachers could not get along Without them any more than we could. The students of P. H. S. have no idea of the work done by our Superintendent and Principal. All We know is that we have a fine high school and that they must be the people' who are responsible for it. We like both Mr. Weller and Mr. Brubaker and feel lucky that they are at the head of our faculty. .Q X- We 'it . 5-:gNE?Bc5ifI -if , -' X' .V Ili X Q ' ga I 2.1: : .. if ' X X I ,N K Natwig ,2L,g,.v E Superintendent D.

THESE ARE OUR TEACHERS Everybody knows the facts about our teachers-that they're well trained, that they work hard at their profession, and that they really would like to give every- one A's. So in writing them up We thought it would be fun to skip the facts, except to tell what subjects each one teaches, and give something most un-factual - the dearest wish of their hearts! Since Mr. Brown is new this year, we will give you these facts about him. He was born in Muncie, Indiana, and edu- cated at De Pauw University, Ball State Teachers College, and Canterbury College. Before coming to us, he directed the music at Albany for two years. When asked what he liked best, he said, People who are willing to try to do things, and least, f'Fish that W0n't bite!', Upper row, left to right CLYDE R.
