Robert E. Rettig Rettig Advises Effective Program of Student Activities Much oi the enviable reputation which DeVilbiss has among public high schools can be attributed to the tireless eiiorts oi Mr. Rettig, Director oi Activities in DeVilbiss. Mr. Rettig supervises the maintenance oi the movie room, the auditorium, stage and projection room, the running ol the monthly Feature movies, the students' lunch periods, and the auditorium programs. Besides these routine jobs, which he handles so well, Bob is one ol the Finest basketball coaches in the city as his team's records show. Mr. l2ettig's Fine standards and leadership ability also combine to make certain that law and order are kept in the school. Another job oi Rettig's is the sup- ervision of all Student Council Functions. Since he believes that the school is the place where leadership is developed, he applies the philosophy oi learning by doing . It is through this philosophy and his liberal views that the people oi the Student Coun- cil and oi the whole school feel a definite responsibility toward themselves and the school.
