THE AD NI TRATIO MR. STEXVART R. STEVVART is known to all of us as a pillar of the school, but little is known of his private life. Leonard P. Stewart is an avid sportsman. Typical of many men he finds his greatest pleasure in fishing, especially for brook trout. He has fished in widely separated areas of the United States, from Minnesota to Maine, from Maine to the Gulf Stream. Mr. 4 i DR. SENGER Stewart is the true Sportsman: he like to use a fly-rod and give the fish more than an even break. As most of the pupils in the upper school know, Mr. Stewart has a special place in his heart for baseball. He played the game in high school and college, and for a while was a member of a semi-professional team. As a teacher he coached five grade-school teams to city championships, and in 1943 guided our own team. Mr. Stewart was graduated from Ohio VVesleyan. He first taught in a township high school in Mansfield, Ohio, and, later, he taught for five years in Indiana. From 1910 till the present date he has been a member of the Cincinnati teaching staff. ln 1954 he was given the position of principal at XValnut Hills. I2 Mr. Stewart has alwa fs taken a reat interest in the raduat- 5 3 g ing classes. Amazingly enough, he has found most graduating classes to be as much alike as two peas in a pod. The philosophy of life held by our principal is stoically rea- listic: he thinks that in the long run a man receives what is his due. Through Mr. Stewart's guidance, Walnut Hills has im- proved its position of leadership among the Cincinnati high schools and has gained a reputation for its high standards of education in colleges, especially in those of the East. DR. SENGER R. HARRY L. SENGER, our assistant principal, has demonstrated his unfailing devotion to Walnut Hills in the understanding and intelligent way in which he has mastered and simplified many of our school problems. His job is two- fold: to manage the routine procedure of the school, and to deal with the conduct problems of the boys. Dr. Senger attempts tlie solution of discipline problems by stressing the importance of being able to get along with people-teachers and others. MISS CLARKE

Q ffice His training is a lesson valuable not only here in high school but later in life. As for his extra-curricular activities, Dr. Senger's favorite pastime is reading, which he says is his besetting sin. His time is not all spent in reading, how- ever, for he likes fishing and other sports. That he played a good game was proved by his winning the conso- lation event in the Tri-State Tennis Tournament during his first year here at VValnut Hills. Around school Dr. Senger finds time to act as faculty adviser to the Student Court, the Gleam, and the traffic squad. Besides- supervising these important school activities, Dr. Senger has built up the Hi-Y Club from one organiza- tion to three separate ones, the Senior, junior, and Sophomore Hi-Y's. He ' has made himself not only a necessary but an integral part of our school, and VValnut Hills would not be the same without his cheery smile and his philosophical remarks. MISS CLARKE HARMING and capable, always gracious and friendly to those who seek her guidance, Miss Olive Clarke, Dean of Girls, is loved and admired by all. Red Cross activities, Student Aid, ushers for school activities, Girls, League, and Big Sisters are a few of the student organizations which come under her inspiring leadership. An invaluable aid to seniors is her remark- able wealth of information about colleges and universities in all sections of the country. She seems to know instinctively which schools to suggest for each senior girl who asks help in planning her higher education. With equal skill she handles the role of disciplinarian or solves the problems of any of uher girls who need sympathy and understanding. Thus Miss Clarke unobtrusively and competently carries on the many roles required of the Dean of Girls at Wal- nut Hills. MISS SHIGLEY HEN AN effie, lost and bewildered, by chance wanders into Mr. Stewart,s outer sanctum, he I can always find aid in the MISS RUSCHER person of Miss Marguerite MISS SHIGLEY ana ement Shigley, monarch of the main office. Although many may think them mono- tonous, Miss Shigley enjoys her various and sundry tasks at Walnut Hills. Her jobs range from getting out records of graduates to writing reports and taking care of complaints of the par- ents. She also works all summer on the long and tedious task of making out programs for the seventeen hundred pupils, while constantly being inter- rupted by pupils who desire to change theirs at the last minute. A graduate of Walnut Hills, herself, and a graduate of the University of Cincinnati, Miss Shigley has lived in Cincinnati all her life, but has traveled from New York to California and from New Orleans to Nova Scotia. In what spare time she has, Miss Shigley likes to work for the Red Cross, and also enjoys gardening. MISS RUSCHER ISS ELLEN RUSCH- ER, the competent assistant in the main office, is a native Cincinnatian. A graduate of Withrow High School, she came to Walnut Hills after working a short time in a doctor's office. A s p o r t s enthusiast, Miss Ruscher enjoys swimming and tennis particularly. A1- though this is only her second year in VValnut Hills, Miss Ruscher has proved an able and impor- tant part of the office force. MISS MEER MISS MEER HE CHARMING and attractive young lady that is found in Dr. Sengeris office is none other than Miss Leonore Meer. Her hobby is at the moment the Navv, but we don't know whether she means this in a general or specific sense although we have our ideas. She also likes amusements of all kinds, swimming, and dancing. Miss Meer, the Doctor's 'LGirl Friday, attended VVithrow. NVhile performing her duties, be they stenographic or disciplinary, she is capable, interesting, and friendly.
