OUR SUPERINTENDENT We salute our superintendent, Mr. Getty, and extend to him our heartfelt apprecia- tion for his interest in the Class of 1956. Mr. Getty has been both mentor and guide to us during our four high school years. His kindness, consideration, and cheerful- ness will always be remembered. Always busy with the complex problems that con- cern the operation of the schools, Mr. Getty still found time to give us much-needed ad- vice and encouragement. Busy secretaries who keep the records straight in both offices-Kay Eichelberger, Jean Weir, and Lee Newcombe. OUR PRINCIPAL As principal, Mr. Shingler must con- stantly make decisions that contribute to the development of an eFficient school pro- gram. His influence has inspired many of us to enter fields of higher learning. ln spite of his numerous duties, which vary from arranging programs and activities to dictating daily announcements, he always finds time for informal talks with students as they come to him with their problems.
