CHAPTER I. . . . . .THE GUIDES ADMINISTRATION Congratulations to all of the students and teach- ers who were deeply concerned in producing for us this excellent 1944 GUIDE. It comes into our school life at the end of another year of effort in attempting to understand more completely the complex world in which we find ourselves. Great battles are being fought by our soldiers and sailors so that we may keep on living free lives. May we also make them unselfish lives, so that knowledge, opportunity, and better living shall guide us into a new world where all of our people may work strenuously to preserve and extend the American Way. Farewell to the Class of 1944! Our hopes and prayers go with you as you leave the halls of Ashland High. I. E. Bohn ARTHUR B. GORSUCH, Principal Ohio State University, B.S. in Ed., M.A. J. E. BOHN, Superintendent Heidelberg College, B.A.g Ohio State University, M.A. Incredible as it may seem, some day we will be able to say, There was a war. On that day, and every day afterward, we must devote our efforts toward the establishing of a society in which war cannot exist. This book is a permanent embodiment of our right to express ourselves as we see fit. It ex- emplifies one of the Four Freedoms-the un- censored right of free expression. When the bells of peace have rung throughout the land, may the 1944 Guide ever serve as a reminder that there was a time when, through carelessness, greed, soft living, and a general disregard of Christian principles, there was a war. Arthur B. Gorsuch

A familiar and popular iigure around school is Mr. Hartzler, who was moved up last spring to fill the position of assistant principal. In addition to his many miscellaneous duties he has charge of the visual aids program for the entire school, the activities program for or- ganizations and special events, the public ad- dress system, and the distribution of activi- ties ticket funds. Mr. Hartzler also conducts an American prob- lems class and the pre-flight aeronautics class. Through his knowledge of meteorology he has become the official weather observer for the city of Ashland. Completing the administration are Miss Smith, dean of girls, and Mr. Paxton, dean of boys, who deal individually with students in helping them to solve many of their prob- lems. The deans serve as counselors in voca- tional guidance for underclassmen. Under their jurisdiction fall many cases of student adjustment. Much of their work lies in problems dealing with attendance. Where necessary, home calls are made. ROGER M. PAXTON, Dean of Boys Stanford University, B.A.' in Soc. Sc., Western Reserve University . My J. E. HARTZLER, Assistant Principal Bluffton College, Wooster College, B.A.: Ohio State University, M.A. An invaluable part of -the deans' work in re- cent years has been their services in Finding employment for students. In this war year with plenty of employment available, many students have found suitable part-time occu- pations through the aid of the deans. In addition to their administrative duties, Miss Smith and Mr. Paxton each conduct two classes a day. Miss Smith teaches Latin II, and Mr. Paxton teaches American literature. SARAH B.
