Ray C. Hume RoDert C. James Clyae Granere I. K. Boltz Men Wko Set tlie Slants Probably the most memorable phases of the 1950-51 school year for Supt. I. K. Boltz were the reliving of his Flying Classroom trip by giving talks to approach the hundred required, grappling with problems of school district reorganization, and facing a reaction- ary legislature to save and to promote desirable school legislation. Coupled with these was a height- ening of administrative responsibility in an attempt to give the boys and girls of the area the best edu- cation possible to meet the problems of a world torn by conflict. As administrative assistant, Ray C. Hume was build- ing and maintenance supervisor. Though construc- tion included chiefly additions to Tope and Colum- bus, elementary schools, Mr. Hume kept his sights set on the long awaited and much needed high school building. With quiet geniality, firmness, and efficiency, Robert C. James accomplished his many-sided duties as prin- cipal of Grand Junction High School. A friend and counselor of students, adviser and trouble shooter for teachers, and coordinator of school and commun- ity interests, Mr. James brightened many a moment with his chuckling sense of humor. Often heard through the halls, especially after hours, was the hearty, rollicking laugh of Clyde Granere, assistant principal and boys ' adviser. Coping with numerous problems, financial and otherwise, which concerned student activities kept him busy at his desk — or on the run — many an extra hour. Page 8

Hud or Key Activities Central hub from which stem the spokes of numerous student council and guidance activities is the office of the girls ' ad- viser, supervised with efficiency and assurance by Frances Hopton Cagle. Here the girls came for their class permits; the executive council formulated weekly discussion sheets; the juniors conferred regarding their Kuder tests; and tlic bulletin board committee, and many others, outlined plans. As school nurse, Rita Black joined the staff in the fall, pleas- ing everyone with her capabilities, her fresh point of view, and her Kentucky accent. The school health program was her specialized field. Oiling the administrative wheels through da -by-da ' know- how and efficiency, Harriet Keigley proved herself indispen- sable as office secretary.
