GUSTAVUS BENTLEY For many years has Mr. Bent- ley been sought by undergradu- ates and found ever ready to aid them on their Way toward knowl- edge. How many of us have not at some time gone to him with our school problems, almost innumer- able at the beginning of our High School career. His understand- ing and clear insight into the daily difficulties of students has meant more to most of us than we shall ever realize. Each of us has felt at some time that the knowing of this man has made us better. That the Washington ,lun- ior High under his leadership will be one of the best of its kind there is no doubt. It is everything to have a man of such ability at the head of a school for younger high school students. HUZH GILLIS ' m lgbigiice 'i l'lVHl of Mr. Gillis at our school it has been the most natural thing in the world to consult his not only about mathe- matics but about school life in general. To the boys with whom he has been in contact his com- panionship has meant much, and l1is cheerful, interesting classes have been sought by all. Possess- ing those qualities which make a successful teacher and an upright leader, his leaving to take charge of the Lincoln Junior High will leave a vacancy in our school, by no means easy to fill. He has ever shown a clear knowledge of hu- man nature and especially that of young people, a quality which is invaluable to him who accepts such a responsible position as the head of one of the new schools.

MISS ARMSTRONG Those of us who know Miss Armstrong realize that in her is a leader of rare capability f or Junior High School work. For many years she has com- petently led the South Side School, one of the leading grammar schools of the city. Her new position as the principal of the Sherman Street Junior High, will differ little from that which she has long filled so well.
