'hav' s .. Mr. Foster H. Hoff Mr. john Hesse ADMIN ISTRATIO Although each child has his own character, personality, and degree of intelligence, without the aid of a more ex- perienced mind these characteristics would be for naught. To the Administration and Guidance Department, there- fore, has been delegated the task of helping each student discover and enjoy the type of work for which his gifts best suit him. Miss Davis, Mr. Hoff, and Mr. Hesse counsel junior high school students. Although most of the curriculum is stand- ard, this year special classes were started for those pupils D GUIDANCE capable of doing advanced work. Miss Didas and Mr, PuHn are the senior high school counselors, and their job includes administering aptitude tests, planning schedules, giving advice about colleges, and finding available jobs for high school students. At the head of this department is our principal, Mr. Southard, assisted by Mr, Franklin. We sincerely appreci- ate the unselhsh devotion to their jobs, which has in turn made our high school careers the more enjoyable and successful. Nliss Alice V. Davis Miss Mary Didas Mr. Henry W.

Mr. Charles V. Brady Mr. Roy R. Gockley SUPERIN TEN DEN T OF SCHOOLS Rarely a day goes by that we are not cordially greeted by the familiar face of our Superintendent of Schools, Dr. John W. Dodd. As the head of our school system, his responsibilities entail selecting qualified teachers, providing sufficient classroom facilities and equipment, and making vital decisions concerning our whole school district. Dr. Dodd more than adequately fulfills his job by doing all of these things well and, in addition, by being a friend to all and an advisor to many. Dr. John W. Dodd

Mr. Irving B. Franklin Mr. Southard's Message In 1924 the high school we all know opened its doors to 850 students and faculty. From this small group to the twenty-six hundred of us today there has been inherent in all our efforts a Spirit of Freeport High Schoolf' This loyalty - an inexpressible feeling which pervades us and makes us give to our high school wholehearted support in all its activities, scholastic and extracurricular - is the heritage of each succeeding class. The Spirit of Freeport High School stands for a number of things. It is the building which we came to love first from a sense of duty and later for itself and its associations. It is the faculty who have awakened the sluggish, encouraged the eager, and quickened the indolent. It is the students unified in loyalty - fun loving and hard working - who have a sense of the values of freedom. It is the studies which lead to academic success and self-mastery. It is the school activities that help develop cooperation, friendliness, and tolerance among us. It is the athletics which keep us fit and help us to keep the rules of sports- manship. It is the hospitality that treats all visitors with consideration and courtesy. Through the years the achievements of Freeport High School in her many en- deavors have been notable. From her halls have graduated thousands of young men and women who took with them qualities that are marks of good breeding, a receptive attitude toward the finer and more significant things of life, an ap- preciation of the assistance given to help them make a satisfactory, mature adjustment in life, and a respect for the source of that assistance. You, the Class of 1959, are joining the classes that precede you in the refrain: We shall never fail V To respect you, aid you, love you. F.H.S., all hail, all hailli' J.
