,.1 , i W. L. SPROUSE BAIRD F. COX 1 Jfffij. Superintendent of Principal of the ' the Logansport Schools Logansport High School, VIRGINIA BRADFIELD Clerk of the Mary Ellen Mull Logansport High School James Alspaugh THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE The principal's office of the Loganspiort High School is always a busy place, es- pecially at the beginning of the morning and afternoon sessions. Mr. Cox is then em- ployed giving passes to every student, who through absence, tardiness, or some other cause, may require that valuable scrap of paper to gain admission into class room and assembly. Both Mary Ellen Mull and James Alspaugh have come to the office for passes. As the M on her arm band indicates, Mary Ellen is a Student Council Moni- tor. As 'fsafety first she is getting her pass before going on duty, so that no time will be lost when the tardy bell releases her from Work as hall monitor. James has his excuse from home ready, no doubt, hoping that he can obtain a pass without delay and get some work done before school begins. Almost daily, for a short time at least, Mr. Sprouse appears in the office. His visits may be occasioned by business, or by force of habit through his previous princi- palship, or through a friendly interest in both students and faculty. If the last is one of his reason for coming, his interest is reciprocated. Miss Bradfield is always at Work, but she keeps cheerful under the stress of of-- fice demands. As an employee she is a composite. She is a typist, a stenographer, a filing clerk, an informant concerning reports, programs, schedules and anything else relative to the concerns of the high schoolg moreover, in the absence of the nurse, Miss Avery, she gives first aid to the afflicted. This year completes Mr. Cox's second year as principal of the Logansport High School. His success is shown in many ways. It is probably most evident in the busi- ness attitude that marks the students' daily routine work and in their manifest good will and cooperation.

Qofmm Cl . , .,,,,,.. W, f X .- f Z K MISS CLARA RATHFON Miss Rathfon's position as an assistant principal was, no doubt, brought about through her efficiency as dean of girls. Miss Rathfon was one of the first board mem- bers of the Y. W. C. A., and as such she was appointed chairman ofthe Hi-Tri advisers. After her term as a director had expired, she became sponser of the membership com- mittee of the Hi-Tri Chapter. This connection with the Y. W. C. A., has deepened and broadened her sympathy with girls. The Tattler Staff has dedicated this book to Miss Rathfon. MR. J. J. MITCHELL Principal Emeritus Instructor of Mathmetics Mr. Mitchell always works for the best interests of the boys and girls. In the absence of Mr. Cox he assists in the office, during the opening sessions. He teaches business arithmetic and trigonometry, and his classes are always popu- lar. Naturally sociable, Mr. Mitchell has made the students feel that he is their friend, consequently, they bring all sorts of problems, real and imaginary, to him. When the Hi-Y's and Hi-Tri's go Christmas carolling, they always like to end at Mr. Mitchell's home. The Logansport public is interested in Mr. Mitchell be- cause of his scientific knowledge of birds and bees. In the past he has been president of the State Audubon Society. THE SCHOOL BOARD The members of the School Board are alumni of the Logansport High School, so naturally its interests are their interests. C. Zook is president, M. P. Beall is secre- tary and J. Taylor is treasurer of the board. Here is Mr. Taylor's character sketch, as written in the 1914 Tattler. JOSEPH TAYLOR: Joseph, alias Zak of the Greek informed , doesn't belong strictly to our class, but he Wanted to graduate with a good bunch, so we gave him permission. Zak is a red hot Republican, and as an orator we fully expect to see him sometime Speaker of the House or even Mayor of Dunkirk. That he is brainy is proven by the fact that he is in our class, which ought to satisfy anybody. Zak pulled down the job of Treasurer of the present classg and if he hadn't been in such a hurry to graduate, he would have undoubt- edly had greater honors. The board has done well in this day of depression to keep our school running for nine months. THE SCHOOL BOARD JOSEPH TAYLOR PARKER BEALL CLAUD M. ZOOK
