M mini Idtration Mr. Henry Kennedy: Mr. Kennedy is happy when he is helping others. When he is not hard at work with Student Council, monitors, teaching Social 12, supervising the four-year plan, or lending a helpful hand to a frosh-soph boy, he can be found giving driving lessons to adults. He likes to travel with his family, and enjoys out-of-door life. Singing in the Civic Choir and being quite active in church work takes up much of his spare time. Miss Alice Jones: Listening to girls problems and providing help when she can is the job of our dean of girls. Miss Jones. She looks forward to all the fun she has with her Girls League and is interested in keeping in touch with past graduates. Painting amuses her and she finds concerts and plays relaxing. Her summers are spent in the mountains in Colorado just roughing it. Miss Jones is always happy when she can serve a tasty meal, as she loves to cook. Mr. Jerome Mohrhusen: The three V's—Vim, Vigor and Vitality best describe Mr. Mohrhusen, our junior and senior dean of boys. The L Club, Boys' Club, and cross country team seem to keep their sponsor busy. Much of his spare time and interest is donated to the Kiwanis Club and the adult night school here at Leyden. He enjoys tennis, golf, gardening, and most of all his family. Summing up Mr. Mohrhusen, one would say he leads a very active life. Mrs. Nell Will: A friend to all students and parents is Mrs. Will, our specially trained counselor. She spends most of her time helping youngsters, adults, and our community. During her spare time she keeps herself busy with outdoor activities, and doing creative things with her hands, such as sewing. With her wide experience and her intense interest in people we believe Mrs. Will to be an asset to our community. I 8o a r d of d u c a t i o n Our Board of Education is more than a group of five citizens working together, for they represent the progressive, alert school Leyden is today. They are constantly striving to promote better standards and to enhance our educational opportunities.
