■ ' ■ - A Guiding Hand Along the Way GLENNIS H. RICKERT Superintendent Recently a person wrote asking me to verify the fact that she had taught in Kane. She stated, I ' ll never forget the walk through that beautiful park. Many visitors remark on the beautiful surroundings of the school. Those of us who spend years here cannot help but be affected by the natural beauty which the Park holds. Each season elicits a response which charms the observer and gives him good cause to be alive. It is good to be remembered, liked, and enjoyed by old friends and new acquain- tances. We can be, nor need we wait for some season ' s touch. Our charm is under our control. A pleasant mien, a smile, a kindly word, a helping hand, an interest in the other person lend a beauty to the world that transcends all the Park itself supplies. Glennis H. Rickert THELMA BLOOM Secretary to Mr. Rickert Lucky is the student who en- ters the superintendent ' s office and is greeted by Miss Thelma Bloom, a friendly and cheerful secretary. Aside from her secretarial du- ties, Miss Bloom dispenses aspirin to needy persons, acts as a postal clerk, trains an office practice girl, and presents pay checks. 10

Cleland, Secretary Harvey G. Berkhouse. Remember when the roof over the audi- torium was being repaired or when the athletic field was undergoing improvements? No doubt you just took it for granted, but actually this was part of the work of the Board of Education. The Board also gives the O.K. signal for trips such as the seniors make to Washington or band and orchestra members to district festivals. Improving the facilities of the school by working with the administration, teachers, custodians, and students so that all can live and learn under the best possible conditions comprise their main duties. Always keeping in mind the betterment of the schools, the Board spent considerable time studying plans for merger with the neighboring schools but so far have taken no action. The seven member board represents many different vocations. Clarence Comes is manager of the local A and P Supermar- ket; Joseph Harre, editor of the Kane Repub- lican; the Rev. Clarence Leslie, pastor of the Lutheran Church; Dr. Charles Cleland, local physician; and Robert Fees, druggist. Tavy Summersgill ' 27, insurance agent, and Harold Johnson ' 38, associated with Olympic Luggage, joined the group this year. Henry Hennell and Gordon Hadfield retired from the Board after serving fourteen and seven years respectively. Mrs. Margaret Longshore School Nurse Dr. J. E. Bovard School Dentist Dr. Milo W.

m m m Forceful and Resourceful PAUL R. MILLER Principal • • ft d Natural resources have a way of seem- ing insignificant because we accept them as a matter of fact. We look at a tree and de- cide that its worth is not very great even though, when we ponder, it becomes plain that much of our progress can be traced to the use of forest products. Similarly human resources do not always command our respect. We minimize the worth of one individual. We fail to realize that the moral integrity of our nation de- pends on the moral integrity of a hundred fifty million people. The peace of the world rests in the love of peace in the hearts of two and a half billion people. Each person who dynamically lives for a better world can start a chain reaction that has social and spiritual significance for all mankind. Paul R. Miller GLORIA NASMAN - JACK GILFERT Secretaries to Mr. Miller Gloria and Jack, both seniors, helped keep the administrative wheels in the principal ' s office well oiled. Their duties include clerical work, secretarial duties, and in general, all the work that must be handled in an office. Gloria and Jack cheerfully and willingly help anyone whenever possible. 11
