PRINCIPAL A key figure in the halls of Galesburg High School this year was Principal W. T. Wooley, who served another year as ad- ministrator for the affairs of the high school. The drawing up of building recommendations, the employ- ment of good teachers to bene- fit our Galesburg High School youth, and the handling of com- munity relations and school finances were among the many duties for which Mr. Wooley was responsible. Through his years of experi- ence with tomorrow's citizens, Mr. Wooley has acquired an in- creasing ability to make friends with the students and gain their confidence, which makes it pos- sible for him to help them with any problem which might arise. He has gained the respect of all the students in the high school and he well deserves it. His warm personality, his demo- cratic ideals, and his aggressive- ness for school improvement have been instrumental in mak- ing Galesburg Senior High a better school. MR.
