THE I I TRATIO V i MR ARTHUR T ORR MR. JOHN B. HOGUE MR. ROSS B. AIKEN MR. MARTIN L. BRIGHT MR. CHARI ES H NYE Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The fact that two of the School Board members, Mr. Arthur T. Orr, president, and Mr. Charles H. Nye have served continuously since 1933 shows the esteem in which they are held by their fellow citizens. Mr. John B. Hogue, Mr. Martin L. Bright, and Mr. Ross B. Aiken, who as- sumed office in 1937, have shown themselves to be sincerely interested in the educational program of the township. Regular board meetings are held the first Monday evening of every month and often last into the early morning hours, as problems are dis- cussed, analyzed and intelligently solved. Most visitors probably fail to realize the many questions that must be tackled by these men who work behind the scenes. We students, who everyday see the results of their tireless efforts, voice our appreciation for their interest in us and our welfare.

MR J. THOMAS CATHCART MR. KENNETH R. DELAHUNTY Supervising Principal High School Principal If often happens that a person who takes a trip through a school plant, such as ours, thoughtlessly overlooks the men who spend many hours planning the work of the school, ordering supplies, taking care of the finances, and seeing that all activities function according to schedule. After once meeting Mr. J. Thomas Cathcart, Supervising Principal, no visitor will ever forget him. Being six feet, four inches in height, he towers over most of the persons who enter his office. And yet, his un- excelled friendliness puts everyone immediately at ease. He is never too busy to listen to all those who call upon him. Active in educational, civic, and religious circles, Mr. Cathcart is a dynamic force behind Hickory's increasing power. Side by side with Mr. Cathcart is Hickory's High School Principal, Mr. Kenneth R. Delahunty. Students have found in him a sympathetic adviser and friend, and so his office has become a popular place for those who desire counsel and advice. Up to this year, Mr. Delahunty was also the varsity basketball coach but he has relinquished that posi- tion in order to give more time to his duties as high school principal. Any visitor to Hickory High School will eventually meet Mr. Cath- cart and Mr. Delahunty, but there are five other men whose faces are very seldom seen within the high school building during school hours, but who spend many evening hours working and planning for the wel- fare of the school. These men are elected by the voters of the com- munity for six-year terms, elections being held every two years so that the board is never entirely new. '
