 I The Marvhigan mn n itilij.i .i m m 11» m m MISS FLORENCE J. SHIRES Dean of Girls This is Miss Shires' second year as the dean of girls in Mansfield High School. Miss Shires has met personally girls who were making failing grades and has helped them to find and overcome the causes of these failures. Common causes of failure were found to be lack of interest in the subject, improper study habits, and lack of sufficient home work. During a part of the last semester of this year Miss Shires with the help of a group of representative girls has been trying to work out the problem of How Much Does It Cost the Average Girl to Go to High School?” The data received from this survey includes everything that a girl buys, clothes, meals, ear-fare, luxuries, and entertainment. As this is not completed the figures cannot be given. Miss Shires is not as some girls seem to think, a disciplinarian. She has been a friend to most of the girls of the High School and those who have not talked with her. will appreciate her friendship only when they have brought a problem to her to be solved, whether it be about studies, recreation, employment or financial problems. MR. BISHOP Assistant Principal One of our most outstanding teachers in Mansfield Senior High School is our Assistant Principal, Mr. Bishop. We all know how hard he works, always busy at something. He is one who never complains about his troubles for he keeps them to himself. We love to hear his interesting stories about army experiences. Mr. Bishop is a fair and square teacher, not only to his students but to the. teachers and everyone whom he meets. All who know Mr. Bishop have a good word for him. 111 I i nn 111 i'ttn-n i imrrM rn 11 rm n WL 19 2 9 r ; Pagt Ttvtnly-Ont

The Marvhigan 1.1 LLUIU mnnrn if JESSE BEER Principal of Mansfield Senior High School Mr. Beer was born and raised on a farm near Mansfield. His educational advantages during his youth were anything but rosy. By working his way and through the benevolence of brothers he received an education. After several years of preparatory work he taught the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades in the East Mansfield school. He liked teaching very much but his ambition was to study law. After teaching two years. Mr. Beer completed his preparatory course. He then entered the University of Chicago, from which he graduated with honors. During his last two years at this university he was an assistant teacher, directing laboratory work for analytical chemistry. Upon his graduation from the university. Mr. Beer took over the position of head of the Science Department in Ohio Northern University. He attended summer school during this period at the University of Chicago. At this time Mr. Beer taught in the Mansfield schools for several years. For the past ten years he has taught in Cleveland. There he made a rule that he must know or learn to know both sides of any proposition. And not knowing the problems of administration. Mr. Beer enrolled in the Graduate School of Western Reserve University for a master degree in Education. Mr. Beer says that education teaches one to give intellectual attention to people and things about him. Although Mr. Beer aspired to be a lawyer he is now and has been a school teacher. This is chiefly due to three men. every one of whom advised him to teach. Upon asking them why they advised him toward this end he was informed that he had the main essential of school teaching—the ability to impart to others any information he had received. So following the advice of his superiors, he changed his ambitions from law to teaching and has never regretted it. He contrasted the thought of standing before a jury and a group of young people eager to learn. The more he thought about it. the more the eager young faces lured him away from the jury box to the class room. “Having been born and brought up in this community and being a property owner in this vicinity. said Mr. Beer. I feel that I am filling the finest position I have ever had. I owe it to my friends. Mr. Beer has. during the past year, directed our school, and lived among us as a true friend carrying out the same purpose which he has believed and lived through life—to assume and carry out. to the best of his ability, his share in the betterment of the universe, trying always to remember the other fellow's viewpoint. Through his attitude he has made all students not only love him for his personality, but to respect him for his character. m Page Tuu'entg
