FACULTY Amid the rooms and halls, books and pencils, there stands a group whose duty to serve and willingness to help raise the school to the heights of efficiency and ability. This group is the administration and faculty, locked to- gether in purpose and desire, principles and thought. The door to guidance and order is always open to the student who wishes them, the door to education receives all who knock. The doorkeepers, able and spirited, are the leaders the students respect and approach. Indeed, a build- ing of bricks and glass becomes a school with the presence of this admirable group.

Among the new faces at Butler this year was that of Mr. Harold Wherry, Principal. He came to Vandalia from Washington Court House where he was also principal. Mr. Wherry came to Butler because he thought Butler High School has a good educational climate and he once commented that he was very im- pressed with the students. With the help of the faculty and the student body, Mr. Wherry made a great contribution to the High School. It was not at all unusual to see him cheering enthusiastically during a basketball game, dropping into a class- room or club meeting unexpectedly, or overseeing tree planting. Mr. Wherry stressed the importance of student-faculty communications, making the announcements himself Can activity which he thoroughly en- ioyedj and kept the entire school well informed with numerous bulletins: To those who brought honor to Butler High School, Mr. Wherry paid special tribute, through letters and other gestures. Looking back to the year 1965, we feel Mr. Wherry has made great strides toward the unification of the students and faculty. 2I
