Through the years a very complete and varied accumu- lation of reading and reference material has been built up to meet the needs of an expand- ing curriculum. I-llllllllllSlllHllVE UFFICERS Within the knowledge-bedecked confines of the library, students will find the librarian, Miss Eleanor Ahlers, eager to aid them in their quest for knowledge. The upkeep and operation of the beautiful Civic Auditorium is dependent on the meticulous efforts of custodian Bert Arthur. With- out his capable aid and advice such enterprises as the Hi Jinx and Spring Play would be impossible. Supervision of all school cafeterias throughout the city is the task assumed by Arthur Cook. His ef- forts this year have brought a new coke machine and numerous other improve- ments to EHS. 1 Helpful counsel is made available Q to perplexed students through the guid- b T ing hands of Miss Esther Johnson and , A E f' John Kolkana, girls' and respectively.

plicated as a large high school is no small order, Principal Bert Vanderwilt finds time in his busy schedule to become acquainted with most of the students personally and to be a friend to all. PllllllIlPHl'SAlllE5SllGE To the Students of Everett High School: The wonderful progress in science has brought the horizons of this world so close to our doors by means of the radio and the airplane that we sometimes overlook things which are of greater value and which are much closer at hand. l am thinking about courtesy and its importance in our everyday life, Each and every one of us are so dependent upon one another for all things which make life possible that we should practice courtesy more often. lt would brighten not only our daily work, but also each new experience and new acquaintance. lt softens the unpleasant moments which are inevitably in store to a greater or lesser degree for all as we travel through life. lt is easy to recognize students and people who practice courtesy by their attitudes during the many daily contacts with them. They speak and act with respect to their par- ents, teachers, and older people. They are courteous to the law enforcement officers of the community and nation. Those who practice courtesy are ever thoughtful of the rights of others and do not act as if they were alone in the halls or on the street. Those who practice courtesy are tolerant of others, regardless of their nationality, their color, or their religion. Therefore, l would suggest to you a resolution to practice courtesy at every opportun- ity, and you will observe that it will not only brighten each day, but that people will speak of you as being a most courteous person. That is a compliment for anyone. BERT VANDERWI LT, Principal. Always willing to give information or advice AN to bewildered students, Miss Catherine Ross, W Assistant to the Principal, also puts forth ener- getic diligence in all office work, keeping stu- dent records, checking grades, and handling correspondence. 6 Although running an organization as com-

Never before in history has the native tongue of the United States found its way to all the parts of the world as it has today.
