Mr. Carpenter, Ruth, Pat, Margie (and Teddy) Ptlttciaal ojj WaLaiJi iJlicfU Sc taal While all good things were happening in the Wabash High School during 1 945- ' 46, there was one thought overshadowing the minds of the faculty and stu- dents, It was that, after eighteen years as principal of the high school, Mr. Leewell H. Carpen- ter, under whose careful guid- ance Wabash High has become one of the finest schools in Indiana, was completing his service as the head. We are happy, however, that Mr. Carpenter has attained the high position of the superinten- dency of the Wabash City Schools. In reality he is not severing his connections with our school, only changing his responsibility to it. And we know that he will continue to be the understanding, kindly coun- selor for high school students , that he has always been. Congratulations to Mr. Carpen- ter from the Class of 1946. Mr. Phil N. Eskew, our princi- pal-elect, will, we feel sure, con- tinue the friendly, co-operative relations established by Mr. Carpenter. Mr. Eskew has served for several years as a capable and progressive tea- cher of the social studies and as boys ' advisor.

Omen p. Afelf 044 SuaetUUeHtletti o li aAaift ScliOoU. Mr. Owen J. Neighbours ' retirement .after thirty- five years of faithful service in the Wabash schools , will end the career of one of our most successful superintendents. This success has been achieved not only in the field of education, but also in civic affairs. As a token of appreciation for his loyal service to the community, Mr. Neighbours was awarded the Distinguished Citizen Award, the first to be presented by the Wabash Chamber of Com- It is with sincere regret that the students and teachers witness his retiring as superintendent. MUd, MaMf, jUiMle Miss Mary Little, secretary to Mr. Neighbours during all his years as superintendent, is also retiring at the end of this school year. She, too, will be missed; for she has done much to in- crease efficiency in the handling of school business. Bo i,id ojf ducatio t Mr. Frank Rettig Treasurer Dr. George B.

H V uJmie . . , to Miss Cornelia Blayney, who is retiring this year after many years of un- excelled teaching in the Wabash schools. Her presentations of both Latin and history have inspired all of those students who have had the privilege of studying under her. Her preservation of order, her open-mindedness, and her understanding of our problems have helped us to personal disciphne and stimulated our minds to independent thinking. Last but not least among Miss Blayney ' s admirable qualities is her unfailing and subtle sense of humor, which has helped to make her one of the most popular teachers. ' ' ' ' , ,,;; c; - - - ( ■
