HOWARD W. ROGGE MARGARET RYCHENER Leadership Counts Superintendent Howard W. Rogge With our rapidly rising enrollment, Superinten- dent Howard Rogge and the Board of Education have found that providing adequate room for the students has become a major problem. With the passage of a 151,175,000 bond issue last year, the situation will soon be improved by the completion of our new high-school building. Mr. Rogge has been a Bryanite for fourteen years, having come here from Swanton, Ohio, as our principal in 1943. He has been our superin- tendent since 1947 and can well look with pride on the development of Bryan schools during his administration. Mr. Rogge holds a Master's degree in School Administration from Ohio State University, hav- ing done undergraduate work at Bowling Green and Ohio Northern. He serves on several profes- sional committees, including the Ohio Education Association Public Relations Committee, the State Department of Education Transportation Com- mittee, and the Northwest Ohio YMCA Board. The Rogges have two children. Their son is now attending Ohio State University and their daughter is in high school. Mrs. Kenneth Rychener, Mr. Rogge's secretary, is a graduate of 1944 from Bryan High School. In addition to her regular office duties, she keeps a scrapbook of clippings of school activities, thus making avaluablelreference history of B.H.S. Teamwork Starts at the To JOSEPH SNEWELL Although Mr. Newell has been our principal for only two years, he has won a firm place in our hearts for his interest in and concern for the wel- fare of each student. He believes that high school should give every young person a variety of ex- periences and a basic philosophy of life along with academic training. Mr. Newell is a graduate of Kalamazoo College where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, later he received a Master of Science degree at the University of Michigan. A former coach, Mr. Newell is a strong sports enthusiast. He supports all of our extra-curricular activities whole-heartedly. Mr. Newell is an advisor of Student Council and the National Honor Society. He is keenly in- terested in both organizations and has contributed many worthwhile and useful ideas to each. He has also done much to make our guidance pro- grams during the last two years more varied and interesting. The Newells have five children, two of whom are in high school and help keep our principal close to student life. Mrs. Bernard Kuhn, a B.H.S. graduate of 1955, is Mr. Newellls secretary. 10.
