Merritt C. Nauts, Principal There can come through the haze of foggy nights guiding beams from a lighthouse. Just such a beacon is DeVilbiss High School with Mr. Nauts, our principal, as the keeper of the light. He directs us into the harbor of learning, keeping the light shining brightly over all the phases of school life — those which are obvious to the students who are seeking guidance, and those behind the scene activities which are necessary to the smooth func- tioning of any school. Mr. Nauts, the controller of the complicated machinery of our system, has been with us from the opening years of our school. Under his alert eye and helping hand we have grown into a truly great community institution. Always busy, yet never too busy, our principal helps us with our problems, and steers us along the right path. With Mr. Nauts as the keeper, we, the students, feel certain that the DeVilbiss lighthouse will always be an illuminating factor in our lives.

The Guiding L igh ts

Mildred Pasch Dean of Girls Confidant, adviser, friend — Miss Mildred Pasch is all of these to the grateful young women of DeVilbiss. Always calm when others are excited, firm when necessary, hut forever kind, her serenity envelopes you as you step into lier office. In her message to the students in last year ' s annual, Miss Pasch said that to achieve true great- ness, one must be wise, tolerant, and kind. We recognize the value of such advice because it has made her so successful in her own profession. Acting as faculty consultant to the Junior branch of the Northwestern Ohio Vocational Guid- ance Association is only one of the numerous ways in which she gives freely of her time and under- standing. The girls of DeVilbiss High School realize their good fortune in having Miss Pasch for their dean. Russell Brown Dean of Boys Whether the Spanish Department suffered a greater loss or the boys enjoyed a greater gain by Mr. Brown ' s transfer from head of the Spanish De- partment to the Dean of Boys is still debatable. Popular with all the students who regard him as a good Joe, Mr. Brown has set many a young Tad on the right track, not only in schedule prob- lems, but in bigger issues as well, involving voca- tions, family troubles, and matters which have much to do with the outcome of a hoy ' s life. He always takes a very personal interest in every boy and is never too busy to stop and talk something over. The Sharps and Flats have the benefit of our dean ' s advice as well as the Sophomore Class. So, hoping he will continue to be boys ' adviser for many years to come, we salute our simpatico ' ' senor Brown.
