PRINCIPAL G. H. Crowther One of the characteristics which stands highest in our high school is the spirit of cooperation that Mr. G. H. Crowther, our affable principal, has injected into the faculty and student body. With this essential spirit, our high school has grown from a place of individuality to a school laden with advantageous clubs and activities. Mr. Crowther served as principal of Grove City High School when many of our parents attended here and the ideals of education which aided them are now adding to our intelligence. Perhaps the success of the high school is due to the patience and self control that Mr. Crowther, himself, puts forth. Through many years he has been striving to build up larger bridges of friendship between the students themselves. Social life must have its place in the high school, too, states Professor Crowther. To make this sentence a motto to be carried out by our school, he has seen to it that our school now has many organizations. Many of our alumni can tell you just how much benefit a student receives in later life, merely by becoming a member of some club and getting acquainted with other students. Another mark of character that Professor Crowther stands for is good sportsmanship. To each new student coming into the high school, a fair chance is given. Mr. Crowther is assisted by his secretary, Mrs. Mabel Northcott. Liked by everyone, she is always on hand to aid anyone and to give advice. Mrs. Mabel Northcott Pine Knot — 11

SUPERINTENDENT H. W. Troisier Grove City High School students ore very fortunate to be educated under such a fine high rating staff of teachers. We also have for a Board of Education, a group of men who are leaders in all the life of our community. Again we are fortunate in the fact that we have as a mediator between the board and the faculty. Dr. H. W. Traister. A superintendent who is strictly on the ball! The ease with which he helps us even with our biggest problems makes them seemingly vanish in the air. Since he has been here. Dr. Traister has installed several new policies. All of them have worked out to the pupils' advantage. He is largely responsible for the obtaining of the public address system installed in the auditorium this year. Dr. Traister is one of the most modern superintendents of this district; if a new idea comes out it does not take him very long to examine it and decide whether it is worth having or not. Our superintendent is also in favor of extracurricular subjects. He is very socially and athletically minded. He encourages constructively minded parties and dances. He especially encourages our rugged football and basketball teams. In Dr. Traister's office helping the superintendent with the statistics and various other problems is Miss Betty Hassell, herself a recent student of Grove City High School. She has taken over and is filling the shoes of Miss Phame Atwell, the former secretary. Miss Hassell is now doing as adequate a job as a secretary as she did when she was a student here.

BOARD OF EDUCATION A — V S we look bock, we remember the parties and dances we had, but how many remember and are grateful for the many things our Board of Education did for us? These men met the first Monday in every month to discuss finances, supplies, buildings, grounds, and curriculum of the school. In general, their duty was to see that G. C. H. S. maintained its high standing among the schools of Pennsylvania. Pin Knot — 12
