Jnflw, ' UP RI This past year was Mr. Rilling's first year as sup- erintendent here, and a very successful year it has been. Many new features pertaining to school life have been in- troduced under his help- ful supervision. The graduating Senior Class hopes that the high school may enjoy many more such successful years under his guidance. The theme of the i945 annual brings to mind an inspiring passage written by Isaiah seven hundred years before the birth of Christ: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reignethl You may not recall the steps of your child- hood and early youth, but they were the steps of skipping and running feet. Longfellow, the children's poet, speaks of The patter of little feet-. You trudged to school, some- times your steps were reluctant, sometimes carefree and gay. You found yourselves in the corridors and classrooms, on the athletic field and in the gymnasium, in the study halls and on the stage, in the library and the laboratory. Often your feet carried you on missions of kindness and trips of goodwill. Do you remember the days when your footsteps took you along the creek to inspect traps or to hunt? When you were on a path to the pasture for the cows or a trip to the woods for flowers? Happy were the daysl ln man's quest for knowledge, search for riches, longing for freedom, his footsteps have been directed into every part of the world. But time and time again he has marched to TE DET v George Rilling M.A. Ohio State University war. The feet of Paul Revere took him to the tower of the Old North Church. Frozen were the feet of General Washington's men at Val- ley Forge. In the North and in the South the march of many feet has been heard, the sound of marching feet is in our ears today. You, too, are facing a period in which there will be the measured military step of youth, the quiet step of the nurse, the soft step of the teacher, the busy step of the house- wife, the steady step of the farmer. Some will record their footprints on strange soil and in the sand of faraway places, others will walk on more familiar ground. He who can be trusted to carry the bur- dens and the responsibilities of the world does not have feet of clay. Of him who is worthy the psalmist says, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly nor standeth in the way of sinners-. May you and I join with William Cullen Bryant in the conviction: He who, from zone to zone, Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight, ln the long way that I must tread alone, Will lead my steps aright. May our steps be lead upon the paths of peace! -George Rilling. B.A. Capital University

FACULTY and ADMINISTRATION

Mr. Houpt has been the prin- cipal of the Upper Sandusky High School for twenty-six years. We seniors wish him many more such successful years. Mr, Houpt this year holds the distinguished posi- tion of President of the North- ern Ohio High School League. ln his office at the west end of the second floor, Mr. Houpt as principal, takes care of all schedules for the high school students. ln the room adjoin- ing his office, he teaches his senior social science classes. Tickets for the game will be on sale- Every student has often heard this phrase or one like it as part of Mr. Cope's announcement about the sale of tickets. These announce- ments can be heard at pep meetings or seen on the block- boards in the study halls. They are only a minor part of Mr. Cope's job as President of the school's Athletic Association. For his seemingly unceasing la- bors on behalf of the school's sports, the whole school says, Well done, Mr. Cope. Mr. Cope is one of those rare tea- chers who teach one of their subjects with the aid of a work- book which they have helped edit, ln other words, Mr. Cope is one of the co-authors of the biology workbook he uses. Mr. Gottfried, who has been a sponsor for many Annuals, this year again had the task of ex- plaining the intricacies of edit- ing an Annual to another An- nual Staff. As usual, he made an ideal advisor. His Senior English classes are very much enjoyed because of the variety of interesting subjects touched upon besides the usual English grammar and literature. He has charge of all absence and tardy excuses. Almost every stu- dent, before he graduates, sometime or other has waited in his office in room 207. In almost every school, and ours is no exception, there is a tea- cher who has the enormous re- sponsibilities of being the Dean of Girls, Ours is Miss Golling. In our school, with some one hundred and seventy girls en- rolled in the upper four grades, Miss Golling is doing a superb jab. Although she teaches mainly commercial subjects, shorthand and typing, most, if not all, of the students are well acquainted with Miss Golling. L. H. HOUPT Principal B.S.
