Mr. Jack Berryhill, Superintendent, and Mr. H. B. Rhodes, Principal Mr. Jack Berryhill and Mr. H. B. Rhodes are probably the two best known figures in Barnesville High School. By working together, they operate the half- million-dollar business that is our school. Mr. Berryhill has been affiliated with Barnesville High School for 32 years, and now, as superintendent, has much of the responsibility of operating the school. He is in charge of personnel (teachers, bus drivers, office workers, janitors, and cooks). He gives the teachers their special assignments, handles salaries and pupil regulations, does public relations work , and enforces the school policies which are set up by the Board of Education. Together with Mrs. Kathryn Gill, the clerk of the Board of Education, he purchases textbooks and supplies, and orders the food for the food for the cafeteria. In addition, he never fails to have a cheerful word for stu- dents and teachers. It is no wonder that he is admired and respected by all who know him. Mr. Rhodes has been associated with Barnesville Schools since 1943 and has been high school principal for four years. Al- though his fir stambition was to be a banker, It is a difficult task to keep things run- ning smoothly, especially in an organiza- tion that concerns so many people. There are always misunderstanding to be straightened out and problems to be solved. Patience and understanding are needed to work things out effectively, and both Mr. Berryhill and Mr. Rhodes have these quali- ties. Another very necessary ingredient for the operation of a successful school is one's love for his work. When asked why they had chosen education as their field , both men replied that they like to work with young people. Something is always hap- pening which presents a challenge. The se traits enable them to make our school the most important business in Barnesville. he eventually became interested in educa- tion and received his Master of Arts De- gree in school administration from Ohio State University. Mr. Rhodes is head of the athletic de- partment and has charge of administration in the high school. Although his many du- ties keep him busy, Mr. Rhodes always welcomes students who need his help. Mr. Rhodes is a very popular and deeply re- spected principal. 6 G. C. MURPHY COMPANY Barnesville, Ohio

The Board of Education works diligently to improve our school. The members are, from left to right, William Doudna, Mrs. William Nesbitt, Charles A. Shepherd, Paul Ferguson, and Jack Welsh. Ferguson and Welsh are the newly elected members. At the time of this printing, the officers of the Board had not yet been elected. Miss Patricia Carpenter is not only a loyal secretary but also a friend to all the students. One of the hardest working people on the staff is our efficient secre- tary to the Superintendent, Mrs. Kathryn Gill. Mrs. Gill also serves as the clerk of the Board of Educa- tion. Mrs. Dorothy Stephens helps Mrs. Gill with the routine duties. Our nurse, Mrs. Rita Cran- ston, administers to our aches and pains with a ready smile and a soothing hand. Mr. Everett LeMasters, our attendance officer, com- petently performs the hard task of locating absentees. 7
