Our Foreman Principal and Classroom Teachers Are Our WHAT A STRAIGHT FACE Mr. in assembly. MR. THOMAS MOCK, our guidance director, is another of our builders Mr. Mock assists students in choosing colleges, vocations, and classes. He offers an occupational and educational file in which students can find information about colleges, occupations, the armed forces, etc. Mr. Mock is also a person students can talk to freely about their personal problems and their abilities and interests. Through his placement service, Mr. Mock helps students get part-time and sum- mer iobs, and for graduates, conducts a follow-up study. Mr. Mock is also advisor to the Conservation Club and co-sponsor of the iunior class. His hobbies are hunting, fishing, and reading. Mr. Mock received his B.S. at Southeast State College and his M.E. degree at the University of Missouri. He has been in C.H.S. six years during which he has taught social studies as well as counseled many students in C.H.S. 'T' r . if lg.:-fs Teeters has as he tells one of his many iokes Competent Builders ln any large construction iob, a hard-working and friendly foreman is necessary. Our foreman, Prin- cipal Howard Teeters, in his first year at C.H.S., was always ready to aid C.H.S. students and teachers in any way possible. Mr. Teeters received his B.S. degree from Southeast State College and his M.A. from Pea- body College. He likes to spend his leisure time travel- ing. As the contractor and foreman follow the blue- prints, the workmen work tirelessly to build the foun- dation and walls of a new structure. Our teachers are our workmen, for they build and form the lives of C.H.S. students. ln i958 our 25 classroom teachers offered us 50 units of study, sponsored l8 organizations, and di- rected a year-around varsity and intramural sports program. Our teachers were lOO?6 in their member- ship in the Missouri State Teachers' Association and National Educational Association, while many of them were also members of the professional organizations in their individual fields. MR. MOCK discusses college expenses with Anne James, freshman. OUR FRIENDLY SECRETARIES, Mrs. Frances Walton and Mrs. Ernest Robert- son, are helpful assistants to the students as well as the administration. Mrs. Walton, a 1938 C.H.S. graduate, returned to our school four years ago to be secretary to the superintendent and treasurer of the School Board. Her out- side interests are her church, the Business and Professional Women's Club, and any of the many activities of her five children. Mrs. Robertson, secretary to Mr. Teeters, is completing her first year in C.H.S. Her outside interests in- clude her church, gardening, and fishing, as well as her home and family.

C.H.S. HAS ABLE ARCHITECTS AND CONTRACTORS. THEY BUILT WELL IN I957-58 MR. DELMAR A. COBBLE, our Superintendent, is signing booklets, his personal gifts to the graduating seniors, Mr. Cobble completed his fourth year in the Caruthersville school system this year. He received his B.S. 'From South- east State College and his M.E. 'From the University ot Mis- souri. Mr. Cobble's many outside interests include fishing, reading, and his church work. Before a great structure rises to the sky architects must plan and arrange their ideas into blueprints to insure that the building will be beautitul in design and adaptable for future growth. In a similar way, in 1957-58, our school had a dedicated Board of Education to draft blue- prints which would provide for the growth and enioy- ment of C.H.S. students. These six good Caruthersville citizens gave much of their time this year to transact school business. In the hands of a trained and responsible contractor the completed and approved blueprints will become a reality. Our C.H.S. contractor tor 1958, Superintendent Delmar A. Cobble, was such a Workman and an asset to our Caruthersville system. Under the direction of our architects and our con- tractor, C.H.S. in 1958 saw the realization of a dream of many years, the building of a S232,000 auditorium- gymnasium. In addition, our AAA rating by the State Department ot Education and our membership in the North Central Association were evidences of the high standards which C.I-l.S. continued to maintain in 1958. The operation of the Caruthersville school system with its 15 buildings, 98 teachers, 2300 students and a nearly one million dollar budget, is a big business. BOARD OF EDUCATION MEM- BERS examine blueprints before inspecting the new gymnasium- auditorium. Pictured are Mr. Wil- Iard Collins, Superintendent Cob- ble, Mr. Dale Bracey, Mrs. J. Thomas Markey, president, Mr. Frank Slentz, and Mr. Dalton Teroy. Not present are Mr. Jack Hutchison and Mrs. Frances Wal- ton, secretary.
