GENERAL STAFF To the Board of Education goes the credit for planning the many and varied maneuvers of the Galion Schools. It is no small task to plan the strategy of such an army of educational institutions. but the board, under the leader- ship of Earl Logan, president, has proved itself worthy of undying praise for their work this year. The group of interested and wholehearted supporters of our school includes: I. C. Gay, Mrs. Helen Monroe, Mrs. Florence Shaw and Herbert E. Edwards, who resigned in March because he was moving away from the City School District. The Board filled the vacancy by the appointment of Paul Durtschi, who has always had a keen interest in our schools and the youth of the city. THE ADIUTANT ISABEL MONROE Miss Monroe is not only chief aide to the head C. O. CML Povenmirej. but is also the clerk of the Board of Education. To hold those jobs it is necessary to know higher mathematics as well as tactics and general field strategy. She is the person to whom the irate captains complain when their pay checks do not come up to their expecta- tions. Poor Izzy! That is enough to make her eligi- ble ior the B. U. F. CBravery Under FireD medal.

W. R. WIDRIG In March of this year Galion High School lost one ot its most valuable teachers. Loved by all Prof. Widrig was truly an asset to our school, and his absence was keenly felt by all after his retirement due to ill health. He died in the Veterans' Hospital at Brecksville, Ohio. He had been in our school for 14 years. and was sponsor of the Hi-Y boys for thirteen of those years. To quote a statement in the April issue of The Lantern, he was a builder of men. This page has been dedicated to Prof, Wid- rig by the boys of this year's Hi-Y, who wish to represent all of the boys who have known him and have benefited by his counsel.

THE COLONEL THE MAJOR M. A. POVENMIRE SUPERINTENDENT OF GALION PUBLIC SCHOOLS Ohio State University-M. A, Mr. Povenmire, our chief of staff, with his brilliant strategy has done much to im- prove the standards of the school this year. His attacks against the enemies of the democratic functioning of our school have been almost as effective as General Eisenhower's attacks against the Ger- mans. Through his grand personality and untiring efforts he has won the respect and admiration of everyone. The Class of '44 salutes you, Mr. Povenmire. E. R. PICKERING PRINCIPAL OF GALION SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Ohio State University-B. S. in Ed., M. A. Our genial commanding officer, Mr. Pick- ering has carried out his orders to the limit. His terse commands over the P. A. system have been heeded by many as the height of military perfection and should put him in line for promotion. He has done a great deal to see that We get put through the proper training to make us as fine citi- zens as he has proved himself to be. Mr. Pickering has Won many friends during his years at Galion High. THE WACS IUANITA PLACK PRIM We don't know how she does it, but she does it! We mean she keeps that nice smile through a long, hard day oi answering telephone calls, an- swering students' questions, answering teachers' questions, making up Make-up slips, and sign- ing excuses for people who shouldn't be excused. Iuanita is a genial friend to students, but she can fix you with a stern eye when your reason for absence doesn't ring true. We like her a lot. IANE ANGLE Miss Angle looks most natural when wearing head- phones and trying to hear her dictaphone record at the same time that she is answering questions about where are the organ keys, and when will Mr. Povenmire be back? It's a shame to keep such a pretty blond tucked away in the office. Why can't they let her he a teacher and give the dough- boys a break! lane is certainly a nice person and we're all-out for her.
