Alvin T. Stolen, our new superintendent, came to Duluth this year from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. He has a B. A. and an M. A. degree, has attended St. Olaf College and the Universities of Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. Mr. Stolen says that, as a young boy, he wanted to be the manager of a big farm. His chief interests are his family, but he also enioys playing golf and he likes meeting people. He has held positions as President of Wisconsin State Music Association, and President of the School Administration Association of Wisconsin, and now belongs to the Rotary Club, American Legion, the Chamber of Commerce, and YMCA. Mr. Stolen is hoping for and looking forward to a world program that will guarantee peace to people of all countries. Mrs. W. H. Benson is the Dean of Girls at Central and disperser of work permits. She holds a B. A. degree from the University of Minnesota, where she has also attended summer courses. Her earliest ambition was to be a teacher and she has said that if she had it to do over, she'd do the same thing. Her children and home are her main interests, also she is very fond of music and used to play a pipe-organ in church. Mrs. Benson is a member of the American Association of University Women, the Women's Club, the Committee on Student Nurses at St. Lukes Hospital, and is on the Board of Directors of the YWCA. Most of all, Mrs. Benson is looking forward to re- establishing our service boys when they come home.

George A. Beck, our principal, holds two de- grees-B. A. and M. A. He has attended several colleges and universities including Adrian College lMichiganl, Western Maryland College, and the universities of Illinois, West Virginia, Ohio State, and Wisconsin. Mr. Beck is a member of the Kiwanis Club, the Commission on Secondary Schools of the North Central Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools, the Executive Board of the Minnesota High School Principals' Association, the Minnesota Education Association, and the National Education Association. His earliest ambition was to study medicine. He is chiefly interested in outdoor sports, such as athletics, fishing, and hunting. From what we hear, the Becks don't have to worry about red points. Mr. Beck believes that we must create in this country a higher standard of living for a higher percentage of the people, thus achieving a more perfect democracy as a nation. Mr. Beck says that at least one of the funda- mental agencies in achieving this obiective is the public school. I am therefore interested in better educational advantages for all people. Generally and specifically I hope to be a better school man in that growth. M Kenneth J. Talkovich has very ably taken over the iob as Assistant Principal at Central for this year. Mr. Talkovich attended Superior State Teachers' College where he received his B. Ed. degree. He remembers that his first ambition was to be a racing car driver. Although his chief interests center about his home and garden, he is very fond of winter sports, and spends much time skiing and skating. Mr. Talkovich be- longs to the Minnesota Education Association, National Education Association, and a church men's club. His greatest hope for our post-war world is that we have full employment for all and that world-wide peace be established.
