Supervising the elementary school, two junior highs, the high school and junior college keeps him a busy man. Mr. Small holds degrees from Kansas Wesleyan uni- versity, and Colorado university. ln T952 he was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Literature.

Ferguson, Members, Mr. Harry Faris, Mr. Charles G. Colla- day, Mrs. J. Richards Hunter, Mr. James H. Rexroad, Clerk, Mr. Earl W. Pearce, and Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Lowell A. Small. The past few years the big problem facing the board has been expanding the city's grade school facilities in or- der to take care of the large increase in enrollment. Having met the first phase of the problem, the board has been given no time to catch its breath. Plans were drawn up and con- tracts awarded this year forthe construction of Hutchinson's third junior high. ln keeping with its progressive viewpoint, the board has already begun to look. toward the time when high school expansion will be necessary.

PRINCIPAL R. C. GUY I'LL CHECK THAT - Miss Pearl Clinton, school secretary, reaches for the phone to check an item on the report Miss Donna Rowland is filling out. Even though the clerical work in the office kept them busy, they were never too busy to help some student get back into class, or help someone get excused from class. Principal R. C. Guy, whose duty it was to see that the mechanics of the school functioned smoothly, did much more than sit at the head of an efficiently run school. He always found time to offer a dry shoulder to students, or faculty members, who had problems. lt has largely been through his efforts that HHS students have gained many of the free- doms and privileges they enioy. He has also filled the role of adopted father to l,l0O frus- trated teen-agers who were orphaned six hours a day, five days a week, and left in his care. Mr. Guy served actively in school interests outside HHS. He was the representative of first- class cities on the State Committee of the North Central Association, the coordinator for the Kansas Association of Secondary School princi- pals, and on the Advisory Committee, Board of Nominators, and Committee on Contests and Activities of the National Association of Secon- dary School Principals. Mr. Guy holds B. S. and M. S. Degrees from Kansas State Teacher's College at Pitts- burg, Kansas. Office s enter
