Heading the DeVilbiss branch of our family of schools is our principal, Merritt C. Nauts. Under his guidance, scholarship, athletics, and extra-curricular activi- ties are regulated and encouraged. Like any fond parent he is always ready to back his children in their new ideas, restraining them only when his adult wisdom deems it necessary. Any problem that confronts young people is a problem for Mr. Nauts and his counsel has helped many organizations and individuals to find solutions.

Since the Navy claimed Mr. Mathias three years ago, his many duties have been divided among several teachers. His office has been taken over by Mrs. Pauline Backus who works un- der the title of Adjustment Adviser. She acts as a guidance counselor to a group of underclassmen. Mr. Raymond Lowry has charge of the Visual Educa- tion Department. Under his supervision, education- al shorts are shown to classes in 207 and full length features entertain Freshmen during lunch period. He keeps a watchful eye on equipment, repairing it and adding to the supply. Two important features of student self-government are the Hall Patrol and the Student Court. They have been functioning very efficiently this year. Miss Geraldine Larkin handled these groups during the first semester. Keeping the DeVilbiss library up-to-date and or- ganized is the job of Miss Leah Scheuren, Librar- ian. Vocation and college guidance materials are an important part of the library ' s service to stu- dents. The War Bond window offers a chance for all De- Vilbiss students to back the war effort and they have proved their patriotism by putting their cash in Kha- ki through the Curtis Magazine drive.
