ADMINIS TRA TI ON Mr. Brock Live to learn, and learn to live, stated Mr. Dale Brock, Superintendent of Connersville Schools. This sentence was directed mostly to the seniors who are entering a new phase in their life. Mr. Brock has served over a year as superin- tendent and within that time has established himself as a man of high esteem and sincere interest in the ideals of American education. He is always working for ways and means to improve the present school system. The increased enrollment is a problem that will prevail not only now but in the years to come. Many changes will take place as parts of the expansion program. One phase is the completion of the annex at the Junior High School. Twelve classrooms have been added and will be equipped and ready for occupancy on September 1, 1953. E Although his duties as head of the school system keep him busy, Mr. Brock will always take time to give advice or information or help of any kind. Mr. Hougland With a steadfast mind and affable manner, Principal John Hougland guides the faculty and students of C. H. S. His everpresent pleasing per- sonality and smile have won for him the respect from every individual at Senior High. One of his greatest achievements was the re- scheduling of classes, which was introduced this year. Besides proving itself to be successful, it has been a big step in the future expansion program. Next year for the first time text-book rental and a student activities ticket will come into use. These improvements are also courses of action taken to meet the need of the increasing student body. Although he has only been here two years, Mr. Hougland has brought about some very beneficial changes.

One of the most cheerful and familiar persons around the halls of C. H. S. is Mr. Williaiil Crone, coordinator of vocational and adult education. For eleven years his major job has been working in harmony with the business and industry of Connersville by super- vising adult night classes. ln addition to this he teaches a class in diversi- fied occupations, which is comprised of seniors only. Although leading a very active life, Bill finds time for his hobby, photography, which many organizations and individuals take advantage of. He also oversees the concession stands at the ball games. Typing reports, filing data. delivering messages, and many other duties keep our secretary, Marion Mullen, constantly occupied. It is her first year in school work, and she likes it fine. Her delightful smile and bit of humor is something almost everyone looks forward to upon entering the office. Even though C. ll. S. keeps her bustling all day long, her two lovely daughters, aged two and seven, manage to keep her busier after school hours.
