MR. FRED A. RIDDLE During the past year, Mr. Riddle has more than won the hearts of students and faculty alike. A perfect gentleman, he has established an informal, friendly atmosphere, and in so doing, has promoted an almost perfect harmony among the members of CHS. Fair, iust, and willing to talk things over, he always manages to come up with the right decision for all persons concerned. Everyone likes him, and he likes everyone. mwif

He then became the principal of CHS, and finally the Superintendent of Schools in Collinsville. In 1944, he again held three positions - coach and principal of CHS and Superintendent of Schools. Serv- ing since that time as superintendent, he has performed the next-to-impossible feat of balancing the budget in a very shaky financial situation. His list of accom- plishments is practically endless. No one person has ever done so much for the youth, as well as for the city, of Collins- ville. So it is with deep appreciation that we of the Kahokian Staff dedicate this 1959-1960 edition of the Kahokian to Mr. D. K. Darling, our Superintendent of Schools. 11

His good-natured friendliness and sense of fair play make him a favorite of all who come in contact with him. He rates a big A in our books.

No one else could serve as effectively as she in the position of Girls' Dean, for her good judgment and wisdom serve as a brilliant star which guides back to the shores all those who are lost at sea. She is liked by all who know her. MR. H. C. KOELLING Counselor, friend, and guidance director, Mr. Koelling helps us to chart that all-important journey into higher education. His door is always open, his store of information al- ways available. Through him, we establish our goals in life and begin to work toward them. His services are invaluable to all of us at CHS.
