MR. HANEY Guiding the daily lives of and regulating the ac- tivities of fifteen hundred students, George E. Haney has proved himself a tireless, understanding leader, endowed with a bright cheery sense of humor and the quality of being able to come close to and make friends with students. Essentially occupied with ad- ministrative policies and problems, he still finds time to talk over the difficulties and ambitions of the stu' dents. Daily while executing his responsibilities, he finds time to visit classes, read students' essays, and give encouragement and constructive criticism. Mr. Haney takes pleasure in attendance at school functions, athletic contests, dramatic presentations, and concertsp his calm air is strongly felt when he advises the Student Council. George Haney prides himself on his estimation of character: for in the past, he has proved right because former student friends have proved successful, and he holds high hopes for today's students. Principal's voice is heard almost daily on the P. A. system. MR. ROSS As a result of undertaking the job of Superin- tendent four years ago, Mr. Harry Ross became ac- quainted with Butte's school system during the same time that the Class of '52 was learning Butte High School ways.

To speech students, revered is Demosthenesg to history stu- dents, the learned traveler Herodotusy journalism students, the fact finding Thucydides. Athletes have long been fascinated by the stamina and strength exhibited by the tragic Pheidips pidesg students of history and government are amazed and in- trigued by the intelligence and democratic equality in the Athens of Pericles. Our minds and eyes dazzled by the glories of the past, we await the wonders and possibilities of the future, breath- lessly anticipating another golden age of cultural accomplish- ments, democratic fervor and peace. Here in this book are represented our preparation and, under- lying, our dreams for that Golden Age.

MR. HARRIS , Vtfhen l leave school at 4 o'cloclc, l put from my mind all happenings of the school day. These words from the lips of our assistant principal, Mr. lames l-larris, are perhaps the clue to his continued affability and vigor. i r i Mr. Harris, one of the most popular administrators, considers his most important job to be handling the discipline problems of the students. This he does with sympathetic understanding, and he also regulates the demerit and delinquent systems. Another special duty is managing the student assistants in the cafeteria, but the busiest time of the year for him is the beginning of each semester, when students are becoming oriented in new programs of classes: and multi tudinous problems arise. MISS THULA RODES Personal problems are often solved by an understanding discussion of the difficulty. This comment of Miss Thula Rodes, Dean of Girls, is an example of the sympathetic way in which she handles the diversified problems which come to her attention daily. She and her office girls check attendance each day. She considers absence one of the principal causes of failure. Under her jurisdiction comes the Girls' Ore ganization, which gives the girls of Butte High School an opportunity for social con- tacts. lt also serves the school by maintain- ing a handy supply store in the building. Miss Rodes expressed her chief regret thus, The time-consuming task of disciplining pre- l vents me from being able to confer with and l advise the many girls who come to me for help on social and scholastic matters. gms' Q,-qq,,im5,,,, sells supplies. 1111
