ADMINISTRATION .... Principal D. R. BAKER A. B., Miami University: M. A., University of Cincinnati Principal In the past three years we have come to respect and admire this man, whose constant effort has been to maintain the high scho- lastic standards and to improve the educational value of the activities at M. H. S. His admin- istrative ability and knowledge of student life have resulted in a well-charted course, which we have used as a guide in our search for ed- ucation. To Mr. Baker should go considerable credit for the calm sea and prosperous voyage which lie ahead of the class of 1948. Superintendent WADE E. MILLER A. B., Heidelbergfg M.

Dean J. C. SCHULZ, Dean of Boys Ph. B.. Heidelberg. Bible Most of us do not realize how fortunate we are not to have the problems of racial discrimination at Middletown High. Here students of various races and faiths work toprethcr and cooperate on practically all occasions. Much of the credit for such an amicable situation must go to Mr. Schulz, the quiet, unassuming Dean of Boys, who not only teaches Bible but puts those teachings into everyday practice. BETTY HAMPTON BETTY SANDERSON The unsung heroines of Middletown High School are the office girls, who coordinate the various behind the scenes activities so that we have a smoothly functioning school. To them we give a million thanks in this million dollar building for the million little things they do for us. Dean MABEL ELDRIDGE, Dean of Girls B. S. in Ed., Miami Universityg M. E., University of Cincinnati French, English Miss Eldridge and Middletown High School are practically synonomous, for either would lose its significance without the other. Her charming personality and friendly smile are an integral part of those familiar characte1'istics that make M. H. S. so dear to all of us. Although her duties as Dean of Girls require constant attention, she is always able to find extra time to assist pupils with any of their numerous problems.
