PAGE EIGHT MR. REED GRONINGER Mr. Reed Groninger, a native of Cass County, became superintend- ent of Logansport schools in 1938. During his two years as superin- tendent, he has had to devote a great deal of time to an extensive school building program, which has now been completed. Although the building program has r e q u i 1' e d much of his time, he has not been too busy to keep in mind the ed- ucational policy of the schools. Ile states the goal he has tried to at- tain in the following words: 1 have endeavored to keep two principles abidingly in mind: first, the welfare and growth of the children in the schools in all the ways that will make them intelli- gent and worthy citizens, and, sec- ond, the good will of the people toward their educational system, in so far as that good will may be attained without sacriiice of hon- or or justice.

DERNS As the Dean of Girls, Miss Baade has been a willing help- er to all. She always has a cheery smile and pleasant wo1'd for everyone. In addi- tion to her work as Dean of Girls, she is our lib1'arian. Mr. Norris, Dean of Boys, came to us this year from Gal- veston. He soon adjusted him- self to his new surroundings and was immediately admired by all. He, too, has another job: he teaches five classes on the side. MR. COX Any student who has had occasion to go to Mr. Cox for help or advice has found in his readiness to listen and in his unbiased consideration an indication of his sincere interest in the welfare of the students. His willingness to hear the student's side of a question before he makes a decision has gained him a rep- utation for fair dealing and has won the admiration and respect of the stu- dent body. The revised and enlarged guidance program, supplemented by a placement service, which has been one of Mr. Cox's first concerns this year, is a fur- ther indication of his interest in and his desire to serve the best interest of the students. Mr. Cox starts the school year with a slogan which sets forth an ideal that he wants to keep before the student body. This year his slogan, We learn what we live has kept before us not only the fact that we learn largely through our own activity, but also that true learning consists not so much of facts stored in the mind as of habits and ideals embodied in character.
