Dr. Anderson and his force are concerned only with Butler Senior High School. In this office we pour out our problems and are reprimanded for errors. It is Dr. Anderson who straightens out our schedules for us each semester. If there is a subject we think we should drop, he discusses it very patiently with us. It is he who keeps us posted on the scholarship possibilities to different colleges and gives us other information about higher education. He will also help us find part- time employment if it is possible. In his office are kept our daily schedule cards THE PRINCIPAL,S OFFICE Miss McElroy Mr. Hogg Dr. Anderson Students Miss Langbein ,25- JOI-IN D.

WE RENEW ACQUAINTANCE WITH OUR ADMINISTRATION ROY W. WILEY Superintendent of Butler City Schools The portals of Butler High swing open, and weare introduced to Dr. Wiley, the superin- tendent. Dr. Wiley has been superintendent of our schools since 1937. Prior to this, he was principle of Butler High School for four years. His alma mater is not Butler, for he comes to us from Lawrence County. His evenings are quiet ones-playing chess and reading. During the summer, he found great pleasure in his victory garden. The main duties of his office force are to make a budget and keep a record of the money spent by the schools of Butler. Last year this amount was iS450,000g 1400 tons of coal were used. Be- sides checking the school supplies, the office keeps a record of delinquent and current school taxes. It is here that we get our working papers, and here our birth certificates are kept. This office is concerned with the activities of all the schools of Butler, although we do not always realize that, since it is located in the Senior High School. Miss McGuire is the assistant to our superin- tendent. In addition to office work, she gives her spare time to the Nurses Aid. Miss Moore is Dr. Wileyls stenographer. Her hobby is photography and playing the violin. She attends all of the high school concerts. Miss Mortland spends most of her time with financial matters of the office. Her assistant is Miss Petsinger, who graduated from Butler High in 1941. The attendance office works to keep us in school, the superintendent's office sees that we are well equipped for work when we are there.

Assistant Principal, Butler Senior High School J. T. HOGG The duties of Mr. Hogg, the assistant principal, are similar to those of our principal. He takes care of the schedules of the juniors. When a suspicious looking absence is reported to him, he calls in the oHiender and together they discuss it. Frequently a week in study-hall is the sentence given if the student is found guilty. Mr. Hogg also has charge of checking and distributing the books. During summer school he teaches various subjects. Although Mrs. Mortland is new in our school, to her our Ways are old. She is known very well by certain students who pay almost daily visits to the attendance office. The records of all tairdiness and absences are kept in her office. All suspicious look- ing or unexcused absence cases are turned over to Mr. Hogg. The making of the daily bulletin and absence list is included in Mrs. Mortlandis duties.
