or a Jetter education or all . l 'un A pleasant function for Mr. Holman is presenting gavels to the outgoing presi- dent cmd vice-president. Few people realize the responsibilities and pressure that rest upon the shoulders of a high school principal. Iackson High school principal, W. Earl Holman, is no exception. Throughout the school year, Mr. Holman's responsibilities and obligations are so numerous that it would be impossible to list them all. However busy he may be, though, Mr. Holman always has time to smile and say hello as he walks down the hall and he is always willing to speak in- dividually to any student who seeks his ad- vice. His devotion to the school, his friendliness, and his sincerity have made him the most admired and respected person at Iackson High school. It is a privilege and a pleasure to have Mr. Holman as the principal of our school. For relaxation, Mr, Holman enioys taking color slides. rx- ' 'il X , It 1 i ,..., 4.

14dminiAtmtia1e aAAiA tantA have a large Iackson High School lost one of its most devoted friends and servants this year with the death of Mr. Royal Dressel. Mr. Dressel had been an assistant principal for nineteen years, prior to which time he had been a teacher at the high school. He was an invaluable aid to Mr. Holman and assumed much of the responsibility of running the school. Also he served as an advisor to various student government organizations and was known to the student body as a kind and understanding man who was always willing to help them. Loss of Mr. Dressel has been greatly felt, however, his memory will be with us forever. Mr. Kiesel, as part of his budget duties, checks in the arrival of equipment for the new auto shop. As an administrative assistant, Mr. Kiesel's responsibilities are many. In addition to being principal of the tenth grade and the Fire Mar- shall, he is in charge of the high school budget, athletic eligibility, the Driver's Education pro- gram, and he is advisor to the Building and Grounds Committee. Mr. Kiesel received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts degrees from the University of Michigan.
