MR. HEITMAN If you'd like to go to the Northwest, A. G. Heitman, our princi- pal, is your man because that's the place he'd like to visit most of all. His favorite place of scenery is the Yellowstone Canyon in Wyoming, which, to quote our principal, is the most beautiful sight I have ever had the privilege to see. Books rate high on his list of favorites, and he enjoys almost everything he reads. When it comes to movies, the one he likes best is I Remember Mama. He's not superstitious, so beware of him 'cause he likes to tease people about it. As princi- pal of the Castle he's kept busy watching over school affairs and keeping Central up to the high standard of the best school in the land. Tall and dignified, a good sense of humor, and a hard worker, that's pop Heitman, our principal, one of the big four. MR. KNUDSEN Ask him what he considers the most scenic place he has seen, and he will tell you that it is the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. This outstanding figure of our castle is definitely tabbed as an outdoor type of man, for hunting and fishing are rated very high among his favorites. Photography and the reading of Ogden Nash's works are considered ideal by him, During his younger years in Lake Mills, Iowa, his ambition was to be an engineer on the rail- road. This true Centralite rates our Castle pretty hard to beat. Listed under his many and various duties are the advising of the Student Council, working with The Pep Club and assisting Mr. Heitman with numerous matters. Hard working, understanding, ef- ficient, and thorough-that's O. S. Knudsen, Central I-Iigh's assistant principal-one of the big four. Maw' ,.f.z+6 is 5 , 'Q N 1' V' 3 is 4 MR. JOHNSON He is a native of the tall corn state with a passion for travel, good food, and amateur photography. He achieved his long-awaited ambition to travel during the Second World War, when he worked with the American Red Cross in the Sixth Armored Division in Europe. At home this popular figure of Good Old Sioux High is known as a shutter bug and connosieur of fine food-chiefly his wife's cooking. At school he's strictly business but counts working with the boys of the Castle as one of his main pleasures in life. Teacher-pupil relationship, which is his job, demands efficiency, sympathy, and a good sense of humor, all of which are possessed by Mr. W. Johnson, our capable dean of boys-one of the big four. MISS MOSTROM Once in a while she'll have a superstitious day when she'll think a piece of bad luck is due to a black cat's crossing her path on the way to school that morning-but usually she doesn't believe in the stuff. She was born in Wisconsin and came to Central from Stephens College where she acted as counciler. Her first impression of our castle was that it resembled just that-a castle. She is fond of coffee, and likes stage plays, football games, and the radio. Ronald Colman's Favorite Story is her favorite radio program, Her duties, which include acting as adviser to Friendship, Inner Circle, and the Senior Class, and working with girls, are carried on in room 207. Here she is always kept busy, but remains willing to help anyone who needs her. She's our new dean of girls, Miss Ruth Mostrom-one of the big four. -12-. By. A
