Guidance Say, Gussy, do you know anyone with a career problem. I mean anyone who's dubious about his abilities? Sure, lots of people and mice, too. What ot it? Well, here is just the person they should see. It's Mr. Stump, the Vocational Guidance Direc- tor. If anyone can help them, he can. But l thought he is the Faculty Manager-the man in charge oi booking Derry's opponents in sports events. Oh, Mr. Stump is a busy man. Besides these two important posts, he also teaches Problems of Democracy. Sfudenf Acfivify Treasury With the clubs and social events going on around D. T. H. S., there must be a lot of money circulating. I wonder how they ever manage to keep track ot it a1l. Well, l've never seen any rolling down a mouse hole. The efficiency in that department is largely due to Mr. Edmunds. Although he just took over this duty at the beginning of the year, he has already become an expert. No slip-ups on this job! It must really be a task to keep account of all this club money, make out checks, and report the intake of the numerous social activities! Mr. Major Stump, Guidance Director, talks things over with student Mr, Augustine Edmunds. Student Activity Treasurer, records a deposit

Mrs. Betty Fritz, School Nurse, supervises health in grades and high school Qs School Nurse Was that a moan I heard? I heard something, too. It came irorn that door beside Mr. Hardy's office. Let's peek in. My, what a neat, tidy little room. And who is that cheerful person in the white uniform? Golly, are you stupidl That's Mrs. Fritz, the school nurse. Well, what's she doing here? I thought she supervised the health in the grade schools all over the Township. Yes, but she manages to keep the health room clean and quiet and well managed, too. I still can't figure out how she does it. .ln The Office Shirley McGinnis hears, Derry Township High School. Iosephine Zedick speaking. Secretaries Who are those two attractive girls in Mr. Kurtz's office? They don't look old enough to be teach- ers, and yet they handle things as efficiently as it they were. Aren't they marvelous? Their names are Shir- ley McGinnis and Iosephine Zedick. They are the two senior commercial students who were chosen to be Mr. Kurtz's secretaries . lt must be quite a job to handle all. that office work. It's a good thing they don't have classesl Oh, but they do! And they manage to keep quite enviable scholastic records, too. Something tells me that D. T. H. S. will remem- ber them long after they graduate. K

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Secretary-Treasurer Miss Nicol shows name card samples to Chester, Dick, and Lorraine LET'S LOOK IN ON THE SENIORS Two mice sit solemnly before the stage of the Derry Township High School auditorium. The time is May, 1951. The smaller mouse speaks in a shrill whisper: Hey, Ma, what's going on here? Why, son, this is the Senior Class graduation. lt always makes me sad when the seniors leave us after four years of work-and fun. Yeah, they had plenty of both this year. There was the talent show with hillbillies, singers, dancers, a band, and comediennes. lt was swell. l always enjoy the Prom, but this year the junior class really went all out to entertain the seniors. Well, the seniors gave everyone a treat with their class day program. lt isn't every class that has that much talent. 3. nga-kg..i.:.,,.. .. ...,,...n. , Can you remember the Class Play, junior? So far as I can recall, it was one of the best-'Our Miss Brooks.' Giving up that hunk of cheese so I could see that play was really worth- while. Yes, the seniors worked hard while they enjoyed themselves. Oh, look, Iunior! See them all dressed in their blue robes walking across the stage to get their diplomas. l'll say! They're really proud! They should be proud. For four years they have looked forward to this day. Even though- the going was a trifle hard at times, these seniors will always look back on today with both happiness and regret. You bet, Ma. Adviser ...... Miss Kathryn Nicol President ..........
