However, Mr. Ralph Helsinger and Mr. Claude Barker, after many years of faithful service, decided to retire, and their places were very capably filled by Mr. VVilbur Flory and Mr. Charles Ruethe at the first of the year. The members of the school board are the representatives of the people of Lemon Township in all school affairs. They have worked diligently toward the completion of the new wing of the high school. This has required the untiring' efforts and intense per- sonal interest of each member of the board. Besides the actual building, they have seen to the installation of the most modern equipment and facilities available. Since the pass- ing of the Bond Issue in November the school board has been busy with plans for further enlargement of the school system. Under the influence of such fine citizens Lemon Town- ship is gradually obtaining one of the finest school systems in this part of the country. 6 SUPERINTENDENT Lemon Township Schools have been under the very capable direction of Mr. C. W. Young for a number of years, each year his duties increasing, due to the enlargement of the school system. He has always handled these duties very efficiently and has solved n'any complex problems easily, due to his unerring judgment and years of experience. He has worked diligently toward the completion of the new wing of the high school and due to the passing of the Lemon Township Bond Issue he is now occupied with plans for further ex- tension of the Township Schools. Lemon Township is indeed grateful for his untiring efforts toward an exceptionally fine school system. Gene Fisher Stella Paul Hazel Hannah 7 Mr. C. W. Young. Secretaries The duties of the sec- retaries in the superin- tendent's office are verv numerous and detailed. These duties ale very capably performed b y Miss Stella Paul and Mr. Eugene Fisher. Mr. Fish- er has been added to the staff this year as business manager. Mrs. Hazel Hannah, Clerk of the Board of Education, is another competent mem- ber of the staff. Both she and Miss Paul have held these positions for a number of years and add much to the smooth run- ning ofthe Lemon Town- ship Schools. Mr. W. E. Davis Secretaries The many duties of the principal's office are handled very efhciently by Miss Doris Carter and lVIiss Marie Hon, both graduates of Monroe. These girls carry out with dispatch and etficiency the numerous tasks that are necessary to keep the school run- ning smoothly. They have also proved. them- selves indispensable to Mr. Davis.

To prevent this, Dick per- suades Buddy Chalmers fDon Halll, a football star, and his Qirl friend Babs Boswell tPat Bversj, who are en route to a turn-about party , to pretend to be Susan and the butler. The -wlot thickens as Hillineton Ross Him Kempl, an old friend and admirer of Su- ran's enters alone' with Diana Mavtleld f'Pe,fr Van Winklel, Dick's old sweetheart. The story is further coin- plicated bv Violet CMarrrie Halseyl. the amorous. quick- te-mnered cook and her Little brother, Cyclone tLowell Strayerl. When Aunt Cordelia ar- rives. she is confronted bv Buddy. Diana and Violet, who all say they're Susan. When Susan comes home Aunt Cordelia is told that Susan is the crazy woman from next floor. Susan calls her father flifl Petermanl, who rushes over flourishing' a revolver. Aunt Cordelia phones the insane asylum to come pick Susan nu. The two inmates fVon Ketron and Charles Browni appear and try to lock evcrv- one up, inclusling Aunt Car- delia.

There is a cluo to meet cveryone's taste, whether it be athletics, dramatics, cooking, or crafts, just to mention a few. The clubs have added much to the extra- curricular activities of the school. The Boys' Glee Club, the llramatics Club, and the 'Fumbling Club have provided us with entertainment throughout the year. The Service Club has been of indispens- able worth to the functioning of the school. Many of the clubs have helped the students with their selection of a vocation, such as F. T. A., Crafts Club, or Science Club. Others are just for enjoy- ment, such as Dancing Club, Boys' Cooking' Club, Twirlers' Club, and Canasta and Bridge Club. There are many other clubs, each one accomplish- ing a worth while purpose and it is hoped that this new p:'o,q1'am will become an established custom at Monroe. 5.

He doesn't need it now, but he will in about 10 years, somewhere around 1960. He'll be needing a job then. But before he can work at that job, someone has to put up more than S10,000! That's the amount of money it takes to finance every job at Armco Steel Corporation. Where will the 310,000 come from? Can his father supply it? Or grandpa? Certainly we can't expect the young man himself to have that much by 1960. At Armco, stockholders have been supplying most of the money for the past 50 years. From their savings and from the profits of Armco's business, the buildings, tools and machinery for each job have been p'urchased-310,000 worth for every. Armco man and woman. Without that money from stockholders, there would be no Armco jobs.

It surpasses the rest. The staff is complete with seniors galore- The best of the lot-you could ask for no more. There's Oglesby, Bill, and Moores' little Charlie: They're editors fcol and eflicient, by golly. The sports staff is tops, and Staton's the head, And words srch as Fleming writes you've never read. Our pictures are splendidg no yearbook can tie us. Photographer? Wilkinson. His helper? Tobias. With Marla Jean Stewart aWielding the brush, The art work is cat-ty, and you'll want to rush To purchase your Mmmcle now While they last, For subscriptions head Powell says they're going mighty fast Our yearbook sells ads-that proves it has style, And proves that all Butler thinks it worthwhile. It's Ruby who sells but Joan's not forgot, Nor Phyllis and Betty who help out a lot. To see that no losses crop all our gain, We've business executive, Mildred M. Shane. She's busy with ledgers, check books and fees, And Steward and Rothfuss are busy as bees. Wherever you look you'll see someone working: No one on Monocle is ever found shirking. The clickety clack of a typewriter near Is certain to lead you to head typist Greer. Others who work for the Monoclels good Are Sorrell and Baird, and Lansaw and Wood. Whoever they are and whatever they do, They work hard all day on the yearbook for you. You must then subscribe to the Monocle '50: There's no other book so keen and so nifty. Two single dollars and one little half, Buys all that's been done by the Monocle staff. Gigantic! Terrific! No words used today Can say of the yearbook what We have to say. Placing Thesaurus. then, back on the shelf, We say: Buy a Monocle and see for yourself. Monocle Adfrism' l IT Autographs Autographs n Autographs M 1 , . ,V 1 .. A 4 1 1 , 'f - .
