Mr. Arthur Kaechele, Miss Hazel Blshton, Mr. Kenneth Letsinger, Hr. Walter Kyes. ' Q wed Fdhws' School days, golden rule days, and we've arrived again in that most frequented of rooms, the general office.....Here we sell our books, buy our books, telephone, ask for pencils, see the teachers, and pick old bones. Behind the counter we observe the headmaster of A. H. S.--the people who see all and know all about its manifold activities. Ready tribute goes to Mr. Kaechele for his effective and stimu- lating speeches delivered at assemblies, banquets, and other functions My, oh my, what a job has he to perform innumerable tasks all through the day, while he competently fulfills his responsibilltlesg he is ever on hand graciously to help solve problems of individual students. Who's that bustling around .... why, it's Mr. Letslnger, the dynamo who keeps the school going round and round, right on schedule too:!! Each morning sees some task begun....and what a grind for Mr. Letsinger too. Writing green and orange and red passes by the Wsquillion' for the parade of absentees and tardies. Besides that is Just the start of a very busy program of multitudinous details with his regular classes in general mathematics to complete the day. Then 1t's Mr. Kyes, the quiet, genial guy, whose 'spare' time duties embrace social science and English in the Junior High of which he is supreme disciplinarlan and 'trouble-shooter.' ' Is there no lady present in the picture? Yes, indaed....Miss Bishton, an accomodating person but withal accountant, typist, really you may well say-fsctotum. For five years she has cheerf ll u y an- swered the diversity of questions that four-hundred 'teensters' can devise. And so to controllers, plus the overseers of A. H. S., add the students for the spice of life. . . there you have it, the combination that makes Allegan High as super as it is.
