GLENN STARNER With his warm personality as one of his strong assets, Mr. Starner has met the many responsibilities of his job of administrative as- sistant to Mr. Birlchead very well. During his four years at Bremen, he has come to be known as a most congenial and a very helpful person. OUR SUPERINTENDENT Four years ago Bremen Community l-ligh School opened its door under the leadership of T. B. Birkhead. At that time there were 750 students in the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. Bremen's l955-l957 enrollment is l235, and this year's senior class is the school's third graduating class. During these four years Mr. Birkhead has done an outstanding job in adminis- trating and establishing school policy. His judgment in the many important school matters which have confronted him has brought Bremen far in academic and com- munity standing. Under his supervision Bremen has grown considerably in size as well as in opportunities for intellectual and social growth. Surely much more progress will be made in the future with the larger teach- ing staff, new and better learning facili- ties, and the prudent leadership of our superintendent, Mr. Birkhead. O. W. YCJUNG Mr. Young came to Bremen two years ago, and has made himself indispensable. Among his many responsibilities he supervises the Bookstore and organizes and handles all the bus transportation for Bremen. I-le has per- formed his duties well and proven himself a very capable and friendly addition to the administrative staff. N M... . : ------ w ww V ..-me Y f f w.wM-vs
