Here's hats off to Mr. J. Fred Essig, who has just completed his fifth year as superintendent of the Grand Junction schools. Hunting, fishing, and stamp collecting are the recreations Mr. Essig chooses for relaxation. He also finds time for Rotary Club, N. E. A., and C. E. A. He received his B. A. and M. A. degrees at Kansas State Teachers College and Iowa State University. Before Mr. Essig came here in 1937 he was principal, first in Florence, Kansas, and then in three Colorado towns: Olathe, Delta, and Longmont. A friendly personality and a quick sense of humor makes our superintendent a well-liked individual among the high school students. By living an active and useful life, Mr. Tope has become one of the best known men of the community. He now retains the position of Superintendent Emeritus of the Grand Junction School system and holds two degrees, B. A. and M. A. The newest Grand Junction public school, Tope Elementary, was named in honor of his work along the educational line. Mr. Tope's abilities have not been confined alone to education, as he has left his mark in the business world, too. He organized the Bank of Grand Junction and headed it until he retired. He also organized the Citizens’ Finance company and is now vice president of that organization. To the Seniors: You have reached another milestone in your career—completion of high school. You stand on the threshold of new experiences which will challenge your best in determining the course you will follow as an American citizen. America looks to you today, as in the future, to fill your place wisely in making this country a land of opportunity. The extent to which you take advantage of opportunities afforded you, and your willingness to pay the price necessary to attain those goals will make a definite contribution to your own advancement and that of your country. I feel confident that you will not fail in your part. Always willing to assist students with any problems is Gunnar Soelberg, our vice principal, and extra-curricular director. For relaxation he likes to travel, argue, fish and debate. Mr. Soelberg attended college at Spokane, and obtained his A. B. and M. A. degrees at Greeley. Ten years of experience in teaching has made him well qualified for his job. Mr. Soelberg became vice principal two years ago and had been teaching here for three years. He wishes that the students would take advantage of the many opportunities for guidance offered by the school. Mr. Beatty Mr. Soelberg
