F. L. Kenley Throughout our twelve-year journey through school there has been one man who has had constant contact with us and has exerted a fine influ- ence on our class. This could refer to no other person but Superintendent F. l.. Kinley. ln these grave times education takes its stand at the top of the list in the prevention of world destruction. Through educational guidance Super- intendent Kinley has done much in helping the youth of Findlay to be- come better citizens for tomorrow. The progress made by Findlay's Public Schools since Mr. Kinley's elec- tion to the superintendency lS years ago has reflected the high standards and ideals for which he has tirelessly stnven, G. R.

the admini tration .. ln all groups of people there must be some type of control. The governing power of Findlay Senior High School is the administration, which is set up to manage, direct, and govern the affairs of the school and to supervise the conduct and academic work of the students. Therefore it takes the responsibility for increasing cooperation among the students and at the same time giving them every individual oppor- tunity. The two most important members of the administrative force of Findlay High are Superintendent F. L. Kinley and Principal G. R. Constien, who both enforce rules and policies of the institution. The office of superintendent has power to grant or reject any issue arising from any and all students in the Findlay area. While the superintendent is, of course, responsible for the supervision of the entire city system, the duties of the principal include diagraming the educational and social life in the Senior High School. The deans, Miss Helen johnston and A. L. Mattoon, are concerned with the welfare of each student in.the high school. They hold scheduled conferences with all students to help them solve their problems of school and social adjustment. They also give students advice on scholastic courses which will best benefit them in their future vocations. Other groups which contribute to the efficiency of the administration of the school are the faculty, the custodians and adult office force, as well as the two student organiza- tions, the student council and the senior advisers.

This organization is made up of students who have been elected to represent their homerooms. This year the Council, which is comprised of 22 representatives, has again been active in various school affairs. The main duty of the Student Council is to serve as a supplementary government of the school and to help the student body present its problems for advice and aid. During the school year l95O-Sl the Council was responsible for the election and crowning of the foot- ball queen at the Fostoria game, after which a Coron- ation Ball was held in the high school gymnasium. During the Yuletide Season a Christmas tree was erected under the supervision of the Student Council, and the organization was also responsible for plan- ning and presenting a chapel program this year. Courtesy week was sponsored by the group throughout the school for the purpose of creating a well-mannered and safer student body. The faculty sponsors for the club are Miss Helen Johnston and A. L. Mattoon. Officers consisted of Ted Bishop, president, David Caldwell, vice president and john Crawford, secretary.
