'l'no1uAs R. ROBERTS Nuprrin fflldtfllf VLAKA Mct'oNATY S?l'l'f'fCll'y YOUTlI-ll'S LEADERS As students ot' Decorah High School, we owe a great deal of our success and achieve- ments to our superintendent, Mr, 'l'homas ll. lloherts. Among his many administra- tive duties is the arrangement of our highly successful activities program. 'l'hrough his capable supervision. ll. H. S. offers excep- tional opportunities in the field of music, athletics, forensics and other extra-curricu- lar activities as well as the regular scholastic program. Mr. Roberts has also gained con- siderable recognition as coach of highly successful dehate teams. Ile is a great lover ot' the out-ot'-doors and spends a part of every summer vacation on the lakes in northern Minnesota. 'l'o Miss Clara Mt-Uonaty, efficient secre- tary to the superintendent. must go a great deal ol' credit for the running of our school. ln addition to the innumerable tasks whicl1 she performs in the superintendents otiice, she acts as secretary to the School Board. J 1f114'l-'nm' A. l'14:'r1a1csoN Mr. .leltrey A. Peterson is the person who makes the wheels go '1'0llllllH in high school. Although he has possibly gained much ot' his fame as the one who hands out the white, yellow, or red slips, this is just one of the many duties which he so eapably performs as principal of D. H. S. Une ot' the more important ways i11 which he has served as a leader of youth is by acting as a member of the Home lloom Steering Committee. Every year his Latin classes rank high among the scholastic leaders in the Every Pupil llrain Derby. People who know him well say that he also leads in outdoor fields. since fishermen for miles around tell of his ability to lure the tinny creatures. Miss Ethel llinger served as secretary to Mr. Peterson for thc greater part ol' the first semester. and she was succeeded by a graduate of last year, Miss Arleen Griebel. u E'1'n1f1L IJINGIQR w . ,I'I'IIf'l'1lfI1 M il BZEJJI N1'f'l'I'fllI'.l1 o
