SUPERINTENDENT PRINCIPAL F. L. Kinney Every student in the Findlay Public School system owes a grave debt to Superintendent F. L. Kinley. Throughout their twelve years of public education Mr. Kinley has been the man responsible for the adequate buildings, teachers and equipment that they have found in this city. Mr. Kinley first entered the Findlay school system in 1922 when he came to fill the capa- city of a teacher in physics and chemistry. In 1923 he became assistant principal and a year later was elected to the office of princi- pal. He faithfully served as principal until 1936, when he was appointed to his present position as superintendent of the Findlay Public Schools. With the world in its present state of chaos. education has become the primary factor in the preservation of our society. Through the educational guidance of Superintendent Kin- ley the youth of Findlay are ready to take their positions as good citizens in the world of tomorrow. During Mr. Kinley's leave of absence this year, Miss Zola Jacobs has capably filled the position of Acting Superintendent of Schools. 6 Findlay High School's prominent position as one of the most outstanding high schools in Northwestern Ohio may be attributed largely to its efficient principal, G. R. Con- stien. Persons who have attended Findlay High School truly recognize the high ideals and good character for which he stands. Mr. Constien came to Findlay in 1930 as a teacher of physics and chemistry. Five years later he was appointed assistant principal and in 1936 he was elected to his present posi- tion as principal of Findlay Senior High School. For his fair and friendly treatment of stu- dents and his sincere interest in them Mr. Constien deserves a vote of gratitude from the student body of Findlay High School. G. R. Constien

In its hands rests the main portion of supervising the conduct and academic work of the stu- dents. Under the wise guidance of the present administration Findlay High School has attained a prominent position among the secondary educational institutions of Ohio. Superintendent F. L. Kinley and Principal G. R. Constien play the major roles in de- termining the rules and policies of the school. The superintendent is responsible for the supervision of the entire city school sys- tem and his office has the power to grant or reject any issue concerning the students of the Findlay area. From the office of the principal come directions and suggestions re- garding the educational and social life of the students of Findlay High School. i k'lr'k'A' Other leading roles in the administrative activities of Findlay High are played by the deans, Miss Helen Johnston and A. L. Mat- toon. A large portion of their time is spent in individual conferences with the students in an effort to aid them in solving the problems of their school and social life. Under the direction of the deans the two student organ- izations, the Student Council and the Senior Advisers, enable the students to take an ac- tive part in the school administration.

COU Miss Johnston Mr. Mattoon As the institutionis unofficial governing body, the Student Council is one of the most important and helpful organizations in Find- lay Senior High School. Composed of stu- dents who are elected to represent their home rooms, this year the Council was com- prised of 22 representatives and, as in the past, was active in various school govern- mental affairs. NCIl PERFORMS VAlUABlE SERVI During the year the Council supervised the election and crowning of the football queen at the Marion football game, secured a Christmas tree for the main corridor during the Yuletide Season, and sponsored two ex- ceptional Talent Day programs, a Courtesy Week with the intent of creating a manners- minded student body, and a Clean-up Day for the purpose of ridding the lockers and corridors of refuse collected throughout the year. Although the main duty of the Student Council is to serve as a supplementary gov- ernmental organization for the school, the student body should indeed be grateful for the many services rendered it by this group throughout the school year of 1951-52. The faculty sponsors are Deans Miss Helen Johnston and A. L. Mattoon. Officers for the past year were Dave Caldwell, president, Bill Hess, vice president, and Cynthia Koeh- ler, secretary.
