JU, m in id tra lion Super in ten Jen I In Mr. W. R. Godwin, La Porte has a superintendent for whom we can be grateful. He is progressive and alert and knows what is good for us and our school. We have con- fidence in his leadership. We feel that under his direction the standards of our school of which we are so proud will be well maintained. But most of all, we like his pleasant smile and friendly manner. Those of us who knew him from our junior high school days felt that an old friend had come back when Mf. Godwin returned two years ago to La Porte as our superintendent. We don't have much personal contact with him now, but we like to meet him in the halls of our building and enioy his friendly greeting. (PoarJ of Education There are many problems that a board of education must solve. As the representa- tives of their community, they must control and approve the policies of the schools. They must see that the equipment of the schools is maintained and the level of efficiency kept high. And to do this they must use business judgment of a high order, for the money at their disposal is always limited. La Porte High School is fortunate to be under the control of an efficient and progressive board of education. The members of the board as pictured are Dr. F. E. Freeman, treasurer; Ben C. Rees, secretary; and Dr. G. O. Larson, president. Principal! Mr. John M. French, principal of La Porte High School, is perhaps the best known and most useful person in our high school environment. The path to his office is the highway for all the grievances, complaints, and problems that forty teachers and eleven-hundred students can conjure up. Sympathetically and patiently he listens to our problems and helps us to think them through to the most reasonable solution. Nor have our conferences been confined to his office. When pressing matters have arisen we have even invaded his home and hours of leisure. We find him always interested and fair-minded. It would be too much to say that our whims are always satisfied, but in moments of sober-mindedness we are usually ready to concede that he knows best. CJoundelorS The work of the counselors is especially appreciated by the students. The coun- selors have been ready and willing to help us at all times. They have helped us plan our courses of study. They have discussed with us our plans and ambitions and have tried to help us make wise preparations for the future. They have kept a check on our grades and credits to be sure that we met the requirements for graduation. Their interest and sympa- thetic understanding have even enabled them to help us with some of our personal problems. To show our appreciation we should like to express a sincere Thanks for everything.” The counselors and the classes they have had charge of this year are: Mr. Hargrave, seniors; Miss Anderson, juniors; Mrs. Little, sophomores; Mr. Hyde, freshmen; Mrs. Russell, mid-year freshmen and 11 As. Mr. Hargrave is chairman of the Counseling Committee. (9)
