Assistant I ' rim ip.il Our assistant principal, Mr. Bohn, came to Emerson in 1941, and in the time he has been here, he has achieved a great deal in school accom¬ plishments and in friendship. Mr. Bohn has given both his time and energy so that Emerson can keep its name of a truly outstanding school.” Office Stall Standing, left to right : Mildred Biller, Florence Caulk, Marian Fickes, Dor¬ othy Palasz. Seated : Maurinc Link. The sale of football and basketball tickets, the issuing of lockers, and collecting of book rental would be im¬ possible without the help of the members of our office staff. They also are in charge of the big headache of those blue slips, issuing text books to teachers, and checking that seniors have enough credits to graduate in June. Teamwork is not found just on the football squad or the basketball team; it is definitely displayed by our office staff. Mrs. Biller handles her job with quiet patience, issuing of lockers, and keys. Florence Caulk, who graduated recently, does her share by collecting book rental and taking care of matters in Mr. Bohn’s office. Marion Fickes, a ’44 graduate, lists the absentees, also types, and takes care of the eternal books. Dorothy Palasz, the financial wizard, guards the mas¬ sive cash register, where she col¬ lects lab fees and sells football and basketball tickets. Last, but not not least, we have Maurine Link whose quiet efficiency conceals her real importance to all of us. Page Ten

Parents ' Oomniittee Back row: Mr. Bohn, Mrs. Herold Herod, Mrs. Andrew Kaplar, Mrs. Regina Hall, guest, Mrs. Nettie Clements, Mr. E. A. Spaulding. Front row: Mrs. Peter Orr, Mrs. Steve Churchia, Mrs. Mrvichin, Mrs. Stephen Rashevich, Mrs. Wood. In 1932 when Dr. Wirt was superintendent of our public schools, he suggested a committee of parents to meet and discuss the problems of students and teachers. This committee proved to be a great success and has become well known as the Parents’ Committee. At the meetings, which are held every month, the parents become better acquainted with social and academic problems which are facing their own children, and they are better able to meet these problems at home. Our Parents’ Committee has come out on top of all their problems, and we are very grateful to them and their sponsor, Mr. Spaulding, for the fine work they have done. The Emerson Community club is a new organization which meets once a month in the Emerson primary auditorium. The aim of the club is to bring the school and com¬ munity, which it serves closer together. The club has about 150 members. Mrs. John A. Auld is president, Mrs. W. L. Plunkett, secretary-treasurer, and Mrs. Herold Herod, program chairman. Page Elereu
