Principal R. WC Johnson NW X For fifteen years Principal R. W. Johnson has stood as a symbol of the rights and liberties which students of the past and present years have enjoyed in Senior High School. Aside from the great task of govern- ing a student body of approximately 1100 pupils, Mr. Johnson is continually faced with individual problems brought to him by students. He has always been quick to sense individual needs and often can offer solutions to their numerous problems. Always a firm advocator of keeping up with the times, Mr. Johnson has led Senior in varied and extensive changes not only in the courses but also in the school itself. Aside from entering into the schedule of every student a well planned guidance course, Mr. Johnson has been an important figure in obtaining the W.P.A. grant for the new stadium, the game room, and band and locker rooms. 1' H8

Miss Beatrice Staudacher Mrs. Adah Harris Miss Marian Murray Mr. Ed. Forsman Mrs. Louise Hoerner l l -A 4 Perhaps the most harrassed teacher in school is Miss Staudacher, registrar. Head- aches, toothaches, stomach aches, and all the other reasons for staying out of school are, by necessity, her daily topics of con- versation, as she passes almighty judgment on dozens of excuses each day. To keep our students hale and healthy we have a full time nurse, Mrs. Harris. Miss Murray, librarian, has the task of keeping the library, and students who V61Qf'lIl1'l'll use the library, in good Working order. Our Dean of Girls is Mrs. Hoerner, who is also co-adviser of the YaWaCa. Mrs. Hoerner also teaches personal adjust- ment and budgeting. Mr. Forsman is the head of the guid- ance department in addition to being vo- cational director. It is Mr. Forsman Who has charge of the retail selling course, a means by which students gain actual ex- perience in working.
