WEN!! -Emerg' SCHGOL BOARD P. Van Dyke, M. Bayorgeon, Mrs. McCarty, N. Haupt li. Greenwood, W, Hass. Five men and two women constitute our Board of Education. Their's is the task of directing the processes of education in the public schools of Kaukauna. Some of their many duties include the hiring of all teachers, preparing the financial budget for the schools, supervising the upkeep of the buildings and grounds, and making all purchases of school materials. The excellence of the educational facilities that Kaukauna offers is testimony of this gtoup's ability. Members and ofhcers of the school board are N. Haupt, president, Mrs. joseph McCarty, vice-president, William Hass, secretary-treasurer, and Mrs. john Cleveland, Peter Van Dyke, Edward Rennicke, and Marshall Bayorgeon. We, the class of 1942, wish to extend our thanks and appreciation for the work the school board has done to make our high school lives both happy and successful. THE MAN THE HALL As graduating seniors we feel that it has been an honor and a privilege to have been students under and to have known Superintendent James F. Cavanaugh. He is a man whom we admire and respectfor his ethics, knowledge, understanding of young people, and, last but not least, his sense of humor. The members of the senior class will always remember Mr. Cavanaugh as the genial gentleman who patrolled his domain, seeking student prob- lems and trying to put them to rights. We are glad that strange faces always bother our superintendent, because by this irritation we have come to know him better. Remember in your freshman year when you were stopped in the hall by this gentleman and asked, What's your name? . Many of us remember that first meeting and successive meetings when we brought our difiiculties to Mr. Cavanaugh, and on other occasions when he sensed our problems before we recognized them as such and helped us in solving them. Of course, we must not forget Mr. Cavanaugh's role as the champion of the democratic privilege of oral expression. H As an advertiser of American ideals, he stands unchallenged, for who would dispute a man so well versed in the fundamentals of America's historic past. Page S

MEET THE FACULTY In the course of four years it behooves one to notice and take notes on his gen- eral surroundings during that period. We, the seniors, having spent those years in the little red schoolhouse, Kaukauna High School, feel that we are in a position to give to posterity a general description of the characteristics and innermost feelings of our teachers. Our first step was to find out the approximate average age of our supervisors. After much ardent research and calculation, we discovered that the average age of the men teachers proved to be thirty-five years. Though our painstaking efforts were well meant, the women teachers refused to divulge. Our instructors tend to lean toward brunette, when it comes to choosing color for their hair. We have among us twenty brunettes, four blondes, and two redheads. Several of the male faculty have started to lose their crowning glory. We found no Nazism, Facism, or Communism in our school, but a clear, pure strain of democracy. However, for political reasons beyond our control, the donkey overvveighs the elephant as a political pet. As our study deepened, We were forced to the conclusion that our faculty is really smart. It's hard to find a question they can't answer. This is the outcome of long periods of study, intelligent development of teaching programs, and, last but not least, thorough understanding of the students. But seeing as all Work makes one dull, our teachers indulge in such play as hunting, fishing, hobbying, golf, photography, hiking, boating, swimming, tennis, reading, and riding in their cars. Please, teachers, we are not being satiric, We are merely expressing details we have acquired. Gum takes top honors in the pet peeve field. The detection system in our school is quite efficient, as We have discovered. Also the act of making a basket with a wad of paper is not appealing to our faculty. The rest of the list consists of such things as whispering during tests and sailing paper airplanes. There is not sufficient space in this book to set forth the greater volume of our research, however, we are of the unanimous opinion that during our four years of high school we have been under a grand group of teachers.

HEAD MAN To the minds of all Kaukauna High School students, the name Mr. Dryer, means principal lt also means many other things. A lieutenant colonel in the United States Army Reserve, he is our greatest advisor on discipline, and in these times he is a help to those who wish to serve their country in some way, particularly those boys who want to join the armed forces of the nation. Besides watching over the students of Kaukauna High School, he takes time out everyday to convince future chemists that the only way to learn is through experience and ably demonstrates with stories of the World War No. 1. True, we may shiver with fear to cross the threshold of his oflice, but we never hesitate to ask his advice or help on some problem we may have. It's been a pleasure knowing Mr. Dryer advisor, friend, and schoolmaster. .Jlffflfw VMJWW ltlliifi MQW 3 iff if la J' pi Klbilgrfapftllr Wir our superintendent and principal, are the planners and the workers behind the scenes of our high school lines. It is they who purchase the equipment we use, plan and direct our every school activity, and strive to make our school lives happy and worthwhile. It is largely through their efforts that we can look back at our school year with pleasant memories and look forward to future years of high school and to graduation with anticipation. Page 9
