fjf ffl 7HERE is a little room on the second floor of this building which many of us never knew existed. But once each month a small group of men and women, the very roots of our family tree, gathers there to formulate school policies. Our silent partners on the school board form the back- bone and co-ordinating force behind the smooth operation of our school family. Its members don't come to school every day to teach classes, nor to speak in assemblies, but our welfare is behind every move they make as they quietly go about their task of managing the Ravenna schools. E. G. Willyard is president of the board, Mrs. Gertrude Cunning- ham, vice president. Other members are Dr. J. C. Beal, Dr. C. L. Naylor. J. B. Yoder, and Miss Mary Moncey, clerk. 6 .

School principals, like Presidents of the United States, seldom are able to be good administrators and to be liked at the same time. Mr. Wayne E, Watters, our principal through junior and senior high school, has proved to be the excep- tion to the rule. He has been stern when a situation demanded use of authority, understanding w h e n faced with our problems, and friend- ly on all other occasions. We like, respect. and admire our principal. The father of our RHS family is superintendent of schools, H. Larry Brown. Not only does Mr. Brown counsel students and teachers and run Ravenna schools smoothly, but he also takes an active interest in sports and other activities. Just as being a father is a job requiring patience and understanding, so is the task of superintending schools. We of the class of '52 certainly ap- preciate these qualities which Mr. Brown has so wisely used during his 13 years as head of our schools.
