“May I speak to Mr. Willey, Carol?” “Yes, Mr. Willey is never too busy to talk to a stu¬ dent.” This year the stu¬ dents have become more closely acquainted with Mr. Willey because of his double responsibilities as superintendent and prin¬ cipal. His untiring efforts to see that we are all taking the subjects best fitted for our chosen pro¬ fessions prove to us that he is a real pal. Only a few students are familiar enough with the work of the board of education to realize what an important role they play in the maintenance our school. Without any desire for recognition of their services they rk hard for us just the same. John Gallman is well known in and about Bluffton as the operator of an auto agency and garage. Because of his business experience he is excel¬ lently qualified to fill his position as treasurer of the board. Raymond Fitzpatrick, an alumnus of B. H. S., is a bank official and a prominent citizen of Bluffton. His keen sense of humor and genial manner prove that he is all for us. Dr. H. D. Brickley needs no introduction to the people of Bluffton. He has an enviable reputation as a booster of Bluffton and its schools. He is well liked by everyone for his cheery disposition.
