She is responsible for the school reports whic hare sent to the Super- intendent's office. Miss Miller solves the students' problems when she can do so, without referring to her principals.

But, not only with troubles, for it pleases Mrs. Struthers to hear of the girls' successes. The social side of our school life is also due to her, as she has charge of parties and assembly calls. Mrs. Struthers arranges the teachers' and students' programs. which requires a great deal of time and enduring patience. ,The Boys' Friend Mr. Wilsons jovial nature makes everyone like to be with him. He solves the boys' problems, and is very enthusiastic about their physical and athletic wel- fare. When teachers are in need of new equipment, they apply to Mr. Wilson, who because of his generous nature, never refuses. Every pupil who enters our school for the first time meets Mr. Wilson, who gives the tests to see where the pupils are to be placed. -I 1. l f- N- f -- - - --+f-wwf----g----+-f-W-W-+1-1-?-il :J .- - ' ' - ,l
