 T-42-on-2 is the cry, and out to battle goes rugged Harold Hargrave to fight it out with the opponent. This year there are quite a few ''old timers, from the standpoint of service, teaching in the high school. Adding their years of service together, Mrs. Bernice Dunlap Thomas, Mr. M. E. Hyde, Miss Lawrie Davis, Miss Frankie Jones, and Mr. E. P. Beabout have con- tributed 161 years of service to the school. Others who have been at LaPorte High School more than 20 years are Mrs. Genevieve Serafin Ser- watka, Mrs. Ruth Andrew Coffeen, Miss Thelma Bees- ley, Miss Dorothy Dick, Mr. Edgar Hobbs, Mrs. Jesse Hotchkiss, Miss Ruth Huddleston, Mrs. Muriel Russell, Mr. Henry W. Schulze, and Miss Ruth Walk. Of the many people who have helped in the ad- vancement of education in LaPorte, John M. French, M. E. Hyde, and Harold Hargrave are fine examples. Mr. French has been principal of the LaPorte High School for 27 years. The 1955-1956 school year is Mr. French's last year. All LaPorte will remember and appreciate Mr. French's guidance for many years. Mr. Harold Hargrave will take Mr. French's place next year. Mr. Hargrave has been a teacher at LaPorte High School since the school year of 1939-1940 and for the last 17 years has been a student counselor. Mr. M. E. Hyde has been with the high school since 1921 and has been a student counselor for 20 years. This year Mr. Hyde is the counselor for the senior class. Page fifteen

Faculty Many people have contributed to our school's progress during the years. In an effort to be different, we decided to exclude stiff photos of these people and show them in their extra-curricular activities.
