WHEN SCHEDULES became in- volved, or personal problems tan- gled, our guidance counselor, Ralph Mayes, listened to our woes and aided us in finding a solution. As the administrator in charge of student government, Mr. Mayes was instrumental in forming the student service committee, and also was in charge of issuing lunch line per- mits. . The Kiwanis Vocational talks and tours which opened new occupa- tional interests for us, and Go-To College Week with its informative speakers, were other parts of Mr. Mayes' planning. HIEADING THE ACTIVITIES of the upstairs office was Adrian Meadows, our assistant principal. Many of us will remember the many pleasant hours we spent with Mr. Meadows working as student assistants. Of course there were a few times in our dealings with him that we would like to forget. One of Mr. Meadows specialties was fixing programs and he was always willing to aid us when we had trouble deciding what subjects would be most helpful and interest- ing to us. They Guided Dur Steps LONG AFTER our graduation, we will remember our principal, Carl Eifler, and his friendliness. In our senior year it was he to whom we looked for advise on the problem of which college or university to attend after graduation. He helped some of us to obtain useful scholarships to colleges all over the country. We will never forget his speeches in assembies. Some were serious and in others he made us roar with laughter. His favorite little talk was on the past history of Bosse Basketball teams. We heard that speech four times, but each time it came as a new and interesting story. Mr. Eifler was one who believed that all students should develop the virtue of leadership and he was constantly finding this quality in us. The present Committee of One system came about through his untiring effort to help the students. He has been principal of Bosse for twenty one years, coming here in 1927. He also was principal of Henry Reis, Centennial and Daniel Wertz elementary schools. A native of Boonville, he served in World War I as a sergeant in the Army Air Corps. HANDLING the feminine side of Bosse's student body was Miss Ena Long, dean of girls. She was sponsor of the Girls' Club Council, which adopted Danny Ber- der, French war orphan. Another of her numerous duties was the issu- ance of reason-for-absence cards and checking on absentees. She also found time to serve on the ECA committee and was respon- sible for preventing conflicts in scheduling programs. Miss Long was also instrumental in finding part time jobs for some of us. WITH A VIGILANT AIR, Mrs. Suzette McGill, our school librarian, guarded the peace and quiet of her domain. When term papers and book re- ports were our immediate difficulty, Mrs. McGill was always willing to , assist us in finding reference mater- ial. Little green slips, a familiar sign to the majority of us, were a daily occurance to those tardy souls who forgot to bring in overdue books. The Teen-Age-Book Club, which she sponsored, provided us with many inexpensive novels covering a Wrange of subjects from classics ot mystery.
