School Officials The task of superintending all the schools in Bluff- ton and of being principal of the P. A. Allen High School is one which needs a strong and capable man. Mr. Lyle R. Willey has seen to it that all departments of the city schools run smoothly and efficiently; and yet with all his work, he finds time to help and advise us students. He has never lost his perspective of looking at things from youth ' s standpoint, and it is this quality that has endeared him in the hearts of all. He is always a willing listener to any student who is needful of his advice. It is to such men as Mr. Willey that youth looks and finds encouragement. To Mr. Woodruff, our loyal assistant principal, goes our deep and lasting appreciation for all the times that he has helped us. Not only does he straighten out our troubles, but he is always full of thoughtful suggestions on how to improve not only our school work, but also our outside activities. His is a hard and difficult job, but no one would realize it from the way he is always ready and eager to help the students in any new and worthwhile project. Mr. Woodruff is a lieutenant in the Quartermaster Corps U. S. Army Reserve. We are thankful, however, that we were permitted to have him as assistant prin- cipal during our last two years in high school and to have his aid in solving our problems. Nine

Board of Education Although we have come into very little personal contact with our Board of Education, we realize what an important part it plays in the realization of our youthful ideals. Because of their careful study of the problems of our school, the making of the budget for school expenditures, and the making of new regula- tions for the management of the schools and a progres- sive curriculum, we have now an educational system of which we can be justly proud and for which we are truly grateful. Mr. Gallman (top), the local Dodge and Plymouth dealer, is filling out the unexpired term of Mr. Baker as president of the board. Mr. Fitzpatrick (center), cashier of the Old First National Bank, is secretary of the board. Dr. H. D. Brickley (bottom), one of Bluffton ' s prominent physicians, is treasurer. Eight
