21 .-ueagw SENIORS STOP IN TO DISCUSS COLLEGE PLANS Mr. Dericks is often called upon to of- ter advice to students. Whether the pro- blem is a schedule that needs changing, grades, the choice of a future career, help with a particularly tough math pro- blem, or a personal matter, Mr. Dericks gives fair and honest advice. He prefers not to say do or don't, he likes to en- courage or discourage the student and to help him to understand the reason for his decision. q1a4wSdulh ,-fem-aaa Mr. H. L. DERICKS B.S. Ed., University of Cincinnati M. Ed., Xavier University Mr. Dericks, our capable and well- liked principal, can be found almost any- where during a school day, for he takes an active interest in every happening at MHS.

Many of our questions concerning lost articles, assemblies, and club meetings are answered every day when we hear the familiar phrase, I have these an- nouncements for this morning.
