Mr. Bross Mr. Winger Administration Mr. Weber One of the most respected faculty members of DHS is Sheldon Bross. Mr. Bross, principal of Dixon High School since 1954. came to Dixon from Mendon, Illinois. He re- ceived his Bachelor’s Degree from Carthage College and his Master’s Degree from the University of Colorado. The duties of a principal are manifold—preparing the curriculum of DHS, assigning teachers to their respective positions, and planning the athletic program. Most im- portant is the task of co-ordinating all of the activities tak- ing place at Dixon High School. Mr. Bross has. shown his capabilities in his excellent handling of this monumental task and should be congratulated. For twenty-eight years Mr. Winger has devoted his time and efforts to the field of education. After he received his Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Illinois and his Master s Degree from the University of Wisconsin, he taught and coached in his native town, Walnut, Illinois. When he came to Dixon in 1938, he taught history and eco- nomics and coached athletics. Mr. Winger, assistant prin- cipal since 1956, handles registration, attendance, and dis- ciplinary actions. He should be commended for a job well done. Stanley Weber, recently appointed Superintendent of Dixon Schools, can boast of a splendid educational back- ground. Not only has he received his Bachelor’s and Mas- ter’s Degrees from the University of Illinois, but he has also received credits for additional summer work in various oth- er educational institutions. Complex as his job may be. Mr. Weber handles it with complete authority and skill. Through his office pass prob- lems concerning the hiring of all faculty members and the mediation between the board of education and the teach- ers themselves. Though his job is mammoth in scope, each aspect receives his individual attention. To Mr. Weber go our best wishes for a successful future. 20
