T MAN:-IIGAN Q MR. BISHOP, ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL As you walk into the office of the Mansfield Senior High, you will be greeted by a person whose character emanates freely in words and gestures. Upon seeking his counsel you will find him to be a person of buoyancy and sweetness of temper. He is loyal, shrinking from contention, yet ready to take a stand for a right principle or a just cause for the advancement of the school. In his counseling you are soon convinced that he is honest in his directness of pur- pose: that he is a hater of shame but a vigorous champion of truth and wholesomeness in the work of the school. Before leaving you have decided that he is a person who has not only set up a theory of high standards of living but has illustrated them in his own manly practice: that he is a person whose simplicity and sincerity make you feel that he is your true friend with quick sympathies and warm enthusiasms, always ready to help you to bear your burdens. This person is none other than the assistant principal, Mr. Herman D. Bishop. Mr, Bishop is a graduate of Ohio University, of Ohio State, and of Universite de Nancy. Besides being as- sistant principal to Mr. Beer, he teaches Economics and Sociology. These subjects give him a splendid opportunity to help mold the best of characters in our student body. His position during the past year has meant much in assisting Mr. Beer, our Principal, to help us solve our problems. MISS SHIRES, DEAN OF GIRLS Individuals who live and work together have a silent moulding and influencing power over each other. There are among us some fortunate possessors of qualities which make for wholesomeness and ease of living, qualities which lessen the shock of unsettling daily contact and at the same time keep the wheels of friendly intercourse moving noise- lessly. Who can estimate the influence of these people! They are not ones to proclaim to the world with a shout what they do and how they do it, but they work quietly, growing ever deeper and more sympathetic as they gain in poise and insight. Such an individual is our girls' advisor, Miss June Shires. Where else can one find such a super-abundance of quiet humor, kindly thoughtfulness, and sympathetic un- derstanding as she possesses? No problem is too slight to receive her conscientious consideration, and, depend upon it, her courage in dealing with difficulties is heartening to those whose skies seemed gray. Miss Shires has organized a group of girls to meet with our strangers and explain to them the ideals and cus- toms of our school. Another project in which she has been interested was the organization of Red Cross work in high school. Then, there are the many conferences with girls singly and in small groups who come to seek her opinions and suggestions. Needless to say that all feel her honest, keen, and abiding interest in what concerns them. Besides these many duties, Miss Shires also teaches classes in English III. After graduating from our own high school and from Allegheny College, Meadville, Penna sylvanxa, she took in Columbia University special work in Studying systematically the problems involved in being girls' advisor.
