Bloomington High School - Bear Yearbook (Bloomington, MN)

Mr. Ray Hanson is vice principal of B.H.S. Teachers and students alike attribute much of the smoothness of the school day to his ever-present watchfulness and workmanlike care. He has been watchdog of the would-be-wrong-doers and friend of the well-intentioned students. He has planned the student activities for the year and has kept school machinery running in good order when the principal is absent. He was father confessor to the repentant, doctor to the disturbed, and stern judge to the defiant. He stood for order and a feeling of security to the teachers, for humor and understanding to the students, and to both, fairness.

17 Mr. P. Arthur Hoblit is principal of B.H.S. In his hands were the destinies of nearly 1900 persons for the past nine months. Over 1700 students depended upon his firm guidance of their classroom and extracurricular activities; nearly 200 teachers, office workers, cooks, and mainte nance personnel found the door to his office always open. Hundreds of parents sought his advice by phone and in person in his office. Evenings brought PTA meetings and other appearances at functions expected of a principal. Who says running a modern high school isn't big business?

Being a secretary in any office is lots of work, but it is doubly hard at B.H.S. With the large number of students and such a large school, no one blames Mrs. Knutson for looking forward to her coffee breaks. Sc6ooC Ofc(ice Mrs. Mabel Foss has a new job this year as secretary to the principal. After eight years as office manager, she should find her new job interesting and still in the center of activity. A friend to all when they are in need of help is Mrs. Anderson. As school nurse at B.H.S., she really has her hands full, but with 91 2 years of nursing at Fairview, she is well able to cope with any ailment Graduate of Bloomington High, Judy Clark, former co-editor of the '58 Bear, is the office clerk. She is the one who hands out those unexcused tardy slips. A familiar face in the office this year is Betty Borth. After graduating from B.H.S. in June, 1958, Betty became the switchboard operator in the high school office.
