MARY ANN SAMUELS Mr. Rhode'r faithful girl Friday is always busy and always willing to do another job. 'meal 'facullxl Each year as the annual is issued, it makes us realize that another school year has comerto a close. This, of course, means that we are all another year older and that time which has passed cn never again be relivecl by any one of us. Although many students will regret that they have not worked harder, I believe, by and large, we can look back with pride upon the past year's record. In this annual the year-book staff is giving you and our public a record of our accomplishments in pictures and in writing. It isn't so much the amount of glory our high school has won the past year that really counts, but rather the amount of education and growth that has resulted in each one of our students. As this book shows, our students have taken part in a multiplicity of activities. Each one of these has contributed greatly to the overall growth of each participant. It is my hope that the work in the classroom, as well as the work on activities in the extra-curricular program, has made a real' contribution to your education and your citizenship for our community, the state and the nation. ,- Superintendent 3

e icafion Thirty-four years ago this june Mr. Hoar walked to the stage of the Shell Lake high school and received his diploma. The world looked good to Mr. Hoar then as visions of future conquests danced before his eyes- What of the future? What shall I do? Then, as now, these age old questions danced through the head of the young and eager graduate. After the usual delays of undecision, Mr. Hoar finally decided upon an education and enrolled in the River Falls College in 1921., Red Granite, Wisconsin, was the scene of his first teaching experience. From there Mr. Hoar transferred to the Univer- sity of Minnesota, where he obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in 1928. In September of 1929, Mr. Hoar entered the door of Barron high school to take up his duties as the new history, economics, and sociology teacher. He had the added duty of teaching a class of American history in the 8th grade. As the years passed Mr. Hoar became a familiar figure in the town of Barron and his ability was recognized and rewarded with the principalship of Barron high school in 1955. The year of 1946 proved to be an eventful one in the life of Mr. Hoar. He was persuaded to run for Mayor of Barron by a reform group seeking to improve the city's political system. For eight years Mayor Hoar guided and directed the governing policies of the city of Barron but this year he declined the nomination in order to devote more time to his greater 'interest, the school. Many students have passed under the guiding influence of Mr. Hoar. His hand of discipline seemed heavy to the freshmen of 1950- In 1951 that hand guided the class, in 1952 it pushed, and in this, the year of 1953-1954, that same hand gives off warmth of a man wishing a class well that he has helped so much. Therefore, in grateful appreciation of Mr. Hoars' guidance, patience, and excel- lent teaching, the class of 1954 is proud to dedicate this annual. The Class of 54 2
