Disheartened students may go to his oflice with assurance of kindly advice and willing aid. His sincere interest in each student as an individual is evidenced by his impartiality and method of discipline. Teachers, too, are kept constantly on the alert-watchful for one of his frequent jokes. He is the source of many of the pranks that are played upon our instructors. They all like him and, therefore, there is harmony and cooperation between his office and the faculty. He is also assistant basketball and football coach and always turns out an excellent B squad, because the boys enjoy working for him. Incidentally, his classes are among the most interesting in the whole high school. Courses in social science, history, civics, social problems and economics are conducted by Mr. Armstrong in an all together fascinating style. He claims and holds the interest of his pupils, and there is no sleep- ing during these periods. l20l
