Over a period of twelve years, Miss Hendershot, Dean ot Girls, has each year Worked out a remarkable program of dignity and beauty, a program ot finished perfection and excellence. That Miss I-lendershot's sterling Worth to the community is continuously recognized is evidenced by the almost daily visits and calls not only of parents but also of former pupils. When Miss Hendershot celebrated her 25th anniversary three years ago this spring, with memories of Argo High going back to the days before either section of this building was in exist- ence, she received hundreds of testimonials, all in the same tenor: Miss Hendershot, you are a very important, much loved part of this community. 4 IUNIORS NATIONAL Kathryn Curkovich Charles Neermann William Hambley Grace Pishos H O N O R Walter Katenhusen William Scoby lune Kenrich Tannie Sonopol S O C I E T Y Charles Krueger
