BDI' ' small 2 Blaine E. Steck, principal of Ruskin High School for eleven years, is one of the busiest people in our school. Dividing his time among various duties throughout the day, Mr. Steck maintains board policy and confers with the community, staff, and students. From his first -I day at Ruskin, each student benefits from Mr. Steck's knowledge, ability, and understanding. Endeavor directed toward the improvement of the curriculum, facilities, and school policies are only a part ofhis never ending quest. A ready smile and a minute of his time are things Mr. Steck is always willing to give. Toward District Goals When not giving valuable aid to Mr. Steck , Douglas M. Lawrence, vice-principal, is . busy in many other activities which con- cern Ruskin High School. Under the di- rection of Mr. Lawrence, the organiza- tions of Ruskin function smoothly and effectively. Varied duties performed daily by Mr. Lawrence render valuable service to Ruskinites.
