,..-v PR ixik, Lrxwauvcu M. DOUGLAS MR. GORDON E D,xNNia1.s Page Thirty I CIPALS Mr. Dougias, the principai of the high school, has pronounced his opinion on a number of topics for your information. Therefore, iisten, my Children, and learn of the ways of a school principal. A visit to the Golden Gate Exposition at San Francisco with a minimum of worries and a maximum of sunshine would he an ideai vacation for our principal. He is less enthusiastic about current cinema productions and heiieves that the Golden Age of movie Uthriiiersn he- gan and ended with HThe Birth of a Nationn. How- ever, for iight entertainment he is partial to movies featuring Lewis Stone or Kay Francis. Farming is a favorite hohhy. Mr. Douglas was somewhat guarded in his commendation oi this year's senior ciass. mfhere has never ioeen any other like itf' Mr. Danneis, the principai of Dickson School, comhines efficiency in the pursuit of his duties with versatility displayed in outside activities. His work as an official at hasicethaii and footioaii games throughout the district is weii known. Vvhat is not so generally icnown in school is the fact that he also includes numismatics and wood and leather crailsworic among his hohiaies. Mr. Danneis teaches craftsmanship at a hoys, camp during the summer months. He declares that he would like to see sports and athletic games in school he adapted to the need of every student. hir. Danneis said that the ciass of ,59 was a grand ciass.
