Although new this year to Eugene High School, Mr. Micklewait has already won the friendship and admiration of both students and teachers. Under his able direction our school has become reinvigorated with the earn- est desire to make Eugene High a definite and valuable contribution to this community. lt is because of his understanding outlook, wise guidance and fair judgment that so much has been accomplished this year which will add to the renown of our Alma Mater in future years. Mr. Miclclewait came to us from Kelso, Washington, where he was principal for nine years. Reared on an ldaho farm, he attended Oregon State and the University of Washington to receive his Bachelor of Science and Master or Arts degrees. l-le has two sons-one a first lieutenant in the Marine Corps and the other a student at Francis Willard. Teaching seems to be the pro- fession of the Miclcelwait family, since the lieutenant's wife is a teacher in Washington and Mrs. Micklewait is at present teaching at Frances Willard. Of the students of Eugene High Mr. Mickle- wait says, . . they are good citizens . . . thoughtful, pleasant and nice. Our Principal There are always certain ambitions to which one aspires, and mine seems to hare been fulfilled in the acquisition of this posi- tion as principal of Eugene high. I have sin- cerely enjoyed my work during the past year with the cooperative faculty and student body of this prominent and tradition-fouruled in- stitution. It is a pleasure to see active and en- ergetic students at work laying the founda- tions for the 'world of tomorrow', and to know that you have had a share in guiding those who will someday be entrusted with the tasks of building the cities and shaping the ideals of the future. I look with pleasant anticipation to the years ahead and only hope that I shall be able to successfully continue doing my part to prepare the youth of today for their responsi- bilities as the citizens of tomorrouff' Your principal, DEAN MICKLEWVAIT We of the student body have truly enjoyed the able leadership of our new principal and wish to extend to him our appreciation for the fine cooperative spirit he has exhibited in work- ing with us during this school year., He is our leader, our adviser, and most of all . . . our friend. A family Man, too . . . 9

Miss Mae D. Kinsey In Nl0lll0I'lillll A GREAT TEACHER In thinking of Miss Kinsey, there comes to mind a line from the 31st chapter of Proverbs: And her chil- dren shall rise and call her bless- ed. u Many are those of her former children who have written from the war fronts, from all walks Q' of life, to tell her what a blessing her understanding, her humor, her love of the beautiful and true, her insistence on work well done have meant to them. It is most fitting that the Eu- genean should honor Miss Kinsey, for it too, is one of her children. For many years she guided its editors and staffs to produce a record of Eugene high of which its students might well be proud. To a faithful and loyal friend, a perfect teacher, and counsellor of youth, Miss Mae D. Kinsey, the Eugenean pays grateful and lov- ing tribute. Requiescat in Pace
