NAVIGATORS The navigators whom we know as the counselor, registrar, secretary, and the faculty chart our course through four years of secondary education. Sometimes it is hard to take their advice, especially when we are flying blind, but they have had years of experience in navigation. Many a trainer cub and a flying f ortress, too, they have guided through storms. Miss Minnie Dingee, counselor, checks each student ' s pro- gram to see that he will have the required credits for gradua- tion. She arranges changes in programs and helps pupils get part-time work. Miss Dingee works especially with the seniors to insure their graduation and to arrange for some of them to take examinations for scholarships to colleges and universities. Miss Ruth Robinson and Miss Helen Wilkin, registrar and secretary respectively, handle the routine office work which keeps the machinery of the school working smoothly. Who can say just what teachers do for their students? Cer- tainly more than merely instructing them in what the books say. Perhaps it could be said that they, more than any others, instill the fundamentals of democracy in the next presidents, mayors, lawyers, stenographers, mothers, and fathers. What high school student has not heard his parents mention par- ticular teachers from whom they learned worthwhile lessons which have guided them through the years? Teachers are to be praised for their patience, perseverance, and faith in their pupils and in their abilities. They have taught them to temper the more serious things they learn in school with a keen sense of humor and bind the whole together with good sportsmanship and with love for fellowmen. lO

t y CO-PILOT GEORGE R. POWEtL VICE-PRINCIPAL ' .0 ' t EDDIE GLASSCOCK 6119 Agnes K.C.. Ma Dear Seniors: The best- wishes of the faculty and the students attend each Knight and Lady of South- east High School, as you set forth upon life ' s crusade. Like all the other gradiutes of these war years, you will be scattered widely over the face of the earth. We hope the tools of thought which you have acquired during your high school years will assist you in becoming one of the thinkers, upon whose leadership Victory in War, and Progress and Peace depend. May the enriched character which we now see in you as a promising bud break into full bloom during maturity and show all the attributes of good citizenship in a world com- munity. These attributes are: cooperation with the forces of good, courtesy out of regard for your fellowmen, industry in behalf of all that means progress, and honesty in thought and action. We hope that wherever you serve your fellowmen you will demonstrate good leadership in safeguarding the freedoms of democracy fostered in our beloved Republic. Sincerely, Q yic R. PcpiA eil
