Dear Diary ..... At the beginning of this new school year, it seems fitting that our first entry should be about our faculty since they are the real heart of the school. Some of us know all of them personally, but in order to remember them in years to come, we're going to tell you who they are and what they do each day. School wouldn't be the same without Mr. Eugene Anthony, a graduate of Nothern Illinois Teachers College and director of our band and chorus. He has added much interest to the music department, and we enjoying working with him on the Christmas pageant, marching band, and spring music con- tests. During summer vacation, he directs our students in a series of Wednesday night concerts. First there is Mr. Warren Page, who has degrees from both Western State Teachers College and the Uni- versity of Illinois. He has been our superintendent for two years, and we are grateful to him for our smooth- ly running school. He also sponsors the Student Council and the National Honor Society. It is he who makes us conscious of our duties as Americ- an citizens in Modern Problems class. Mr. Albert Smith, or Coach , is the coach of the varsity football, bas- ketball, and track teams. Coach also teaches boys' physical education and several history classes. Mr. Smith, who received degrees from Nothern State Teachers College and Colorado State, is the sponsor of the Varsity Club and co-sponsor of the sophomore class.
