MR. PERLEY O. BRUNSVOLD, Guide to Teachers and Students gi ON THE AIR - Mr. Brunsvold waits for the high sign before making a general announcement over the HA. system. XYhen the students have left, the teachers must still work. Faculty and departmental meetings are in process until 5:00, when Mr. Brunsvold closes shop and goes home. Throughout his busy day he has had to answer for all of us. He is the niainspring to the smooth running schedule of Nason City Hi-fh School. D ln the course of the year Mr. Brunsvold finds all of his initiative taxed in planning a program that will be challenging and give students the educational training they desire. llis strong interest in the development of young' people has been proven through the success of the educational system of Mason City lligh School. Our thanks go to Mr. Brunsvold for a wonderful school where it is possible to develop talents in every way from a schol- arly standpoint to arts, journalism, good sportsmanship, and just learning how to get along with classmates and teachersg an important lesson for later life. This ambitious person is at school at 7:00. No, classes do not begin at that hour of slumber for most students, but a busy day does for P. O. Brunsvold, principal of a busy school. On the way to school he stops to pick up the school mail. A tight schedule follows for the rest of the day. From 7:20 to 8:10 he has numerous teacher and pupil conferences, Time from 8:10 to ll 230 is taken up with principals' meetings, and supervisory and administrative work. A school full of hungry students help to make lunchroom supervision a big job from 11:30 to 1:00. The school afternoon is filled with class- room visitation, records and reports, and con- terences with parents. Somedays Mr. Brunsvold is called upon to take over the class of an absent teacher. He enjoys this but would enjoy it even more if he didn't have many other things to occupy his mind while conducting a class.
