This year we welcome our new superintendent, I. Iohn Halverson, to Al- bert Lea. Though he has only been with us a short time, we students and faculty are well acquainted with his likeable personality, his tair consideration for others, his superior judg- ment, his genial humor, and his sincere encour- agement. Already the school is advancing. Superintend- ent Halverson personally publicized all the school performances to the down- town business men. He heartily cheered our ath- letic teams - not from the bleachers, but right from the players' bench- es. Warm applause came from the students when Mr. Halverson gave his approval of moonlight so- cials. I. lohn Halverson is well qualified to be our su- perintendent. His record shows that he was super- intendent at three other schools previously, they are at Excelsior, Chaska, and Ashby. He started his career at Foley, Minneso- ta, as an instructor oi English, mathematics, and science, He was educated at St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota, where he re- ceived his B.A. degree. He later earned his M. A, degree at the University of Minnesota where he has also done further post-graduate work. Y! Division Editors Marilyn Ehrich, Pauline Wayne
