if-f-- M Unsung Heroes- And Heroines On this page are pictured only a few of the many members of the stu- dent body and faculty who, devoid of fanfare and publicity, go far beyond the limits of duty in unselfishly helping to make A. L. a better school. Reading counterclockwise: Principal Theron Stuelke interrupts many a busy day to help advise students on everything from private problems to the selection of school subjects . . . ln spite of the variety of demands on her, Miss Lucy Miller finds time to pass along her know-how to student librarians-such as Donna Dingman-who, in turn, give up some of their study periods to help serve the school . . . Mr. Walter Kaltenborn and his student proiectionists, here represented by Ray Dawson, devote much of their own time to make possible the showing of educational films for classes . . . Larry Knotek knows how willingly and often Mrs. Viola Bich'el gives individual assistance to her music students . . . Mr. Nels .lohnson's day is filled with countless little extras that are not part of his paid iob but are part of his thoughtfulness in making the school run more smoothly . . . A special commendation should go to hard-working sponsors like Mrs. Agnes White and conscientious students like Harold Miller and Sue Olsen in seeing through the numerous projects of the Junior Red Cross. 10

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Russel J. Mourer BOARD OF EDUCATION Harry C. Voss Charles W. Langmade C. Francis Putnam - James H. Ross Dr. Russell Blanchard Dr. Kenneth G. Walker John A. Jungquist Lester E. Andrews, Secretary April, 1952, is a date that A.L. students and faculty members will never forget. Rapidly-melting snows in the Dakotas and near-by northern states sent the Mis- souri River on a rampage. Men and equipment were mobilized, and U. S. Army troops were called to Council Bluffs. It was necessary to use A. L. to house troops, the gym to house evacuees, and Kirn Field to house trailers from evacuated areas. Many A. L. boys worked 'round the clock' on levees, filling sand bags and doing other important jobs. A. L. girls worked in canteens, supervised the play of evacuee children, and did many other useful tasks. A. L. teachers worked in similar iobs, acted as traffic control officers, area wardens, and did general patrol duty. We are proud of both students and teachers in their combined effort to help save our city. Theron R. Stuelke Principal 12 Principal Theron R. Stuelke
