1. Short, black hair, at times waved but all times well groomed, serves as an introduction to tall and stately Mrs. King, Dean of Girls. It is easy to see that in choosing a person suitable for any position like this, we had to find a woman with tact, poise, com- posure, common sense, and an abundance of charm. In Mi's. King we have found all these qualities. Along with disciplin- ing girls, she teaches Algebra. 2. U Just where, my good young man, were you on the afternoon of Dec. 21? That is the voice of Mr. Diller. You ought to know him because he's the Dean of Boys. He understands boys, and that is why he was asked to take on this duty. WVhat is even more important, the boys like Mr. Diller. When all the pupils in the school hail him as a regu- lar fellow it is evident that they appreciate equality. 3. This year we decided to add to our list of advisers, Miss Grace Kratz. She was appointed as Dean of Classes. She aids with all social functions. She is the woman that is able to origi- nate all of those up to date, clever ideas. Just by looking at her, we realize by the sparkle in her eyes that she is not much more elderly than we students. She's one of our most refreshing, youth- ful, and human teachers. 4. Louie is our jack of all trades. He isn't serving merely one purpose in our school, but inany. He might be called a general supervisor. He is always posted on each club's activities. No minor details escape his keen eye. He deserves a great deal of commendation owing to his excel- lent managing of all school affairs. Outside of school he is one splen- did athlete. Many of us know him to be very witty as well as cheerful always. l10

Four Years at DeVilbiss The graduates of 1935 are the first pupils who can know the meaning of this question and suggest an adequate answer. In any educational program, graduation is a time when one may well ask what that education is worth. Have the four years at DeVilbiss given a better under- standing of the orderliness with which our life must proceed? Has it given a better appreciation of the cumulative accomplishments of what we call civilization? Has it given each pupil some worthwhile knowledge or ideal which he may contribute to the social betterment of our times? We at DeVilbiss try to place upon pupils responsiblities which will train them in making decisions concerning their everyday experiences. The purpose is to develop self reliance. Pupils graduating from high school should have acquired a willingness to face their own problems courageously. One must think for himself in mapping out a program leading to a definite life work. The chosen work must be well within range of the ability of one to achieve with reasonable success. It must offer the probability of increasing satisfaction and happiness to himself in his adjustment in society. Thomas A. DeVilbiss, in his living, worked hard and cheerfully in developing a business of world-wide scope g he accepted all of the responsibilities of the head of a fine familyg he gave unselfishly his abilities to serve the community in which he made his home. May all of the graduates of the high school bearing his name ever think of his example of unselfish service to home and community. ......................... MERRITT C.
