The vice-president is Mr. Edmund F. Steiner, a member of the firm of Pearce Woolen Mills. Mr. Steiner is a great athletic enthusiast. Another member of the board is Mr. Wallace McFaul. A well-liked man, Mr. McFaul is cashier of the First National Bank and Trust Company. He is always ready to contribute his efforts toward the improvement of our school. Last year a new member was elected—Mr. A. Russell Robbins. Mr. Robbins, who is a prominent citizen of Milford, is interested in all church activities and agriculture as well as school activities. The duties of these administrators are many. Elected by the citizens of our community, this group of intelligent men very capably manage all school affairs—select our superintendent and faculty, control financial problems, and enforce the rules of our institution. We, the Seniors of 1946, express our gratitude to this board, who have so unselfishly given their time and energy for us.

UNANIMOUSLY DEDICATED TO... Kenneth Blair Rhodes. Mr. Rhodes joined the faculty in 1945 as the teacher of algebra, geometry, chemistry, and trigonometry His ability to make these subjects interesting and clear, and his ability to discipline his classes with little force have made him one of the most respected and best loved members of the faculty. Mr. Rhodes participates actively in all school functions. He took the initiative in helping to establish the Student Council and the Athletic Association, and remains as one of the faculty advisers to both organizations. He successfully coached the base ball team one season. Throughout the year, he enthusi- astically supports the football and basketball squads. A large part of his popularity is due to his friendly out- of-school association with students, and his unending sense of humor. He is always ready and willing to give his aid wherever it is needed. For these many qualities, we the Seniors of '46, chose to dedicate Victoria '46 to Mr. Rhodes.
