Combining efticient work with a pleas- ant disposition Dr. William C. French ca- pably filled his position as principal of MHS during the last three years. Through his constant enthusiasm for the school and its activities more interest has been cre- ated in these fields. Although we regret that Dr. French has lett the Moline school system to become the principal ot a new high school in Syosset Long Island, New York, we are happy that his new work otllers a chance for advancement and greater opportun- nl. -Q. Principal, Deans Counsel Student Body Lamont Hultgren, dean of boys and assistant principal, helps the boys with immediate and future problems and helps them arrange and carry out their sched- ules. He always assists the principal and takes his place in emergencies. Student Congress activities also keep Mr. Hultgren busy. As one ot the sponsors ot the organization, he advises the mem- bers on problems of the school. He also attends the meetings of the Quint-City Student Congress. Mrs. Marie Waller, dean of girls, com- bines her etticient work with a pleasant personality. Working with all the girls she helps them make decisions about careers and enrolling in colleges. In charge ot the school testing pro- gram, Mrs. Waller administered state tests to the iuniors. She distributed the Nation- al Merit Scholarship tests to ninteen sen- iors. Mrs. Waller is also the sponsor tor the National Honor Society and one ot the sponsors ot ADC. sxqh any FQ fix Fvb Yf 'Y- 1 Ullll
