Board of Education . . . Howard V. Robert M. Mrs. Florence Kenneth M. Dr. Malcolm E. Nussbaum Corry Shaw Petri Switzer quite a job with three hundred and fifty stu- dents who often are forgetful about one thing or another. For an example, from the time school starts in the morning, Mr. Pickering is willing at any time of the day, to offer some good advice to a perplexed student who is hav- ing trouble with a schedule or plans for future careers. This help has been greatly appreciat- ed by many students of Galion High. The smaller spokes in our great revolving wheel are the faculty members, who patiently put up with our faces every day and try to invade our sacred sanctums with bits of knowl- edge. This year, Galion High added quite a few new faces to its list of teachers, and by this time they are well known and liked by all students. Most students will agree that Galion has a fine list of faculty members who have helped them over rough spots during the year. These teachers have a sense of humor even though their jobs do get nerve wracking at times. We must also give credit where credit is due to these teachers who have helped in club and social activities during the year. OE course, we must come to the big wheel itself which is the Board of Education. The people serving on this board are acting in the interests of all citizens of Galion, and they are vitally interested in the students as a group and as individuals. They are constantly aware of the schools, and students' needs, and they try to remedy these needs by prescribing what they think is the proper procedure. Although the board members are often crit- icized, their actions are for the betterment and progress of our school system, and they should be highly praised by all for their excellent work. It takes quite a few people to make up the school system and keep it running smoothly as we have seen. With all the faculty, admin- istrative members and students together, Gal- ion High School is a busy, but pleasant school. Secretaries Isabel Monroe Ruth Ann Beck Joyce Nelson

We dedicate the 1951 Spy . . . To those who fell the strong hand of Uncle Sam and others whose sense of duty drew them into the armed forces, we dedicate the 1951 Spy. We feel that in this time of crises there is nothing that deserves our praise and prayers more than these boys. To our classmates who have been taken from us and for the many more that will soon go, we say-Good luck and God bless you. Administration . . . The balance wheels of Galion High School are the offices of M. E. Shank, Superintend- ent, and E. R. Pickering, Principal. Every student has at some time or other been in these offices, perhaps not as often in the Central office, but we do find the Principal's office a pretty busy little place. Of course, when students do find an occa- sion to enter these offices, their problems are easily and efficiently solved by Miss Mon- roe, Miss Nelson or Miss Beck. Miss Monroe and Nliss Nelson are quite well known to everyone at the high school, and Mr. Pick- ering's right hand girl, Ruth Ann Beck, who is a newcomer, has become quite a pal of everyone. At the head of the Administrative Depart- ment is Mr. Shank, who has charge of all Galion city schools and is kept busy at this job. Often he puts in overtime to keep our wheels running smoothly. Most students see little of Mr. Shank, but he does appear at many of our assemblies and he always can be found when an individual student has a problem, or a crisis arises at school which requires his excellent judgment and advice.
