Jlam 94 gffice 'handle .Shania M Trouble shooter for the office would be a good title for Mr. Leslie L. l-loar, whose occupation can be compared to that of the Woman in the Shoe who had so many children, only Mr, Hoar knows what to do. He keeps things running right along, tries to make everyone satisfied and yet within the bounds of the school regulations. He must know the when, where, how, why and what of everything going on in the building, and be ready to give assis- tance whenever and wherever it is needed. Mr. Hoar was, until this year, a teacher in the Physical Education Department where he taught health and gymnastics to sopho- more boys. l have enjoyed this years work in the office and have been gratified by the co- operation of students and teachers. lt has taken a while to get into the pace of office work but since l have become adjusted to it l can really find enjoyment in my new associations, stated Mr. Hoar.

Efficiency is the byword of Mrs. Martin and Miss Washburn. They, with the help of Miss Elizabeth Smith keep the office running smoothly and competently. Mrs. Martin keeps office rece ords, while Miss Washburn checks attendance.

Headed by Principal Burt O. Beal, who has been associated with Lincoln l-ligh for 17 years, the office staff coordinates the activities of all Lynx citizens into a working strength. Assisting Mr. Beal is Mr. Leslie Hoar, Vice-principal, who until this year, acted as a physical education instructor. Mrs. Maxine Martin, office clerk, and Miss Elizabeth Washburn, attendance clerk, are in charge of the student records. Friendliness, tact and courteous service have enabled these persons to incorporate a like feeling in the members of the student body, with whom they come in contact. The apparent results are more spirited and useful citizens for the future. Vitally interested in the students and student activities is the Lincoln l-ligh School Chapter of the Parent-Teachers Association, which this year, has been under the direction of Mrs. L. P. Barton, president. Close cooperation has been the byword of all the controlling organizations of the school, and through that cooperation they have maintained the power to achieve, year after year. Perhaps the following interpretation of power, by Mr. Beal, is a reason for this. Probably one of the rnost significant words of the English language, when applied to rnan is Power lt denotes strength, ability to do or act or it may mean authority. We may think of man as having a certain physical or mental power to do certain things and that the degree or extent of this' ability varies within varied individuals depending upon an innate or an acquired capacity. Much of this strength or ability, which we call Power, is made accessible as a result of the efforts of man. How then, can man best use this power which is available? lf a man has made whatever preparation for actual living which seems best or necessary, then one of the first essentials is faith in himself. A purpose must be dominant. A definitely unselfish attitude at all times must prevail. A clear vision of achievement is necessary. With these in mind, he must go forward with relentless effort to accomplish a definite goal. Power to do lies within the grasp of every man, B.
