FLUYI1 Ti. ASHER - C2 -£ The assistant principal of our school, Mr. Asher, is a graduate of Indiana State Teacher ' s College with a Bachelor Science degree, and Indiana University with a Master ' s degree in the Science of Education. Any leisure time he finds is spent on a farm near Gosport, Indiana. He keeps up to date on the latest agricultural news by belonging to the City Farmer ' s Club in Lake County. As an apiculturist. he pleases his friends and neighbors by presenting them at various times with jars of honey. As well as reading extensively on the culture of bees, he likes the more factual type of books and is interested in philosophy. This study has enabled him to carry on his most important work as councilor of boys. —Pat Rentier. 9

Realizing the important role of education in a world of war and peace, she has devoted endless time and energy to the task of guaranteeing us the best in education. Buffeting the tension and confusion of the times, she has tried to develop in students a sense of strict self disci¬ pline. Special emphasis has been placed on the constructive application of knowledge rather than meaningless pedantry.
