l MR. ENOS GARY PRINCIPAL A TVN and wisdom like the seven stars are seldom seen f0Q6tlte1'.M UCH as the world values expert service, it csteems more highly the man who binds together into a smoothly running, cooperative organization people of many different teniperainents and abilities. To plan and direct the varied activities of high school is not easy, yet Mr. Gary has worthily accomplished this difficult task. As principal, he places scholarship above all other activities, believing that if a school does not develop the scholastic ability of the student, it has utterly failed in its purpose. Through his plan of centralizing the school fund, he has placed the school on a very sound financial basis. Mr. Gary is the friend of both teacher and student and commands the respect of each. At once an organizer, a constructive critic, and a friend of the teacher, he has devoted all his efforts to the development of Brackenridge. Page 27 Y ,,,, ,

Without a friend, the world is zz wilderness. MISS VIOLA MOORE DEAN QUIPPED with the knowledge of a progressive tomorrow and having the advantage of a conservative yesterday, Miss Moore has most ably proved herself the kindly counselor of Brackenridge. As dean, she has not only found many ways of benefitting the students of Brackcnridge, but her interest has reached to Worthy girls outside the school, and she has made it possible for many a girl to take up her studies again. The Presidents' Council, an organization which combines the heads of all the clubs and furnishes an opportunity for the discussion of the problems which confront each group, has elected Miss Moore its honorary president, in apprecia- tion of her interest in organizing the body. With the welfare of the students always before her, Miss Moore seeks to send them forth physically, mentally, and morally equipped to play a useful part in life. Page 29
