Whether it be taking a carload of students to a ball game, crowning a beauty queen, or discussing a problem with a pupil or a teacher, he is always ready and willing. After school hours, P.T.A. activities keep him busy; and every year finds him par- ticipating in the Lion ' s Club Minstrel. For all his help and guidance we wish to say thank you. Margaret Beeks A.
