Mr. Lavern Sinclair, witty, glib, biology teacher, explains the purpose of the solarium and the secrets that will be unfolded to his new students, Keith Skromme, Terry Morrison, and Scott Davis, here in the school “greenhouse.” Personal Contact of Student and Teacher Administrative officials, faculty members, and students are all essential for a successful school life. If any one of these three fundamental properties were missing, a flaw in the system of school government would appear. The student body, the center of all activity, may be compared to the hub of a wheel around which all action revolves. However, a faculty like ours at MHS is necessary to make school life complete. Leading the way to the paths of knowledge and conquering the mysteries of study, the faculty must love its work and de- Mr. John Adam, English teacher and “M” adviser, con- sults Mr. Lamont Hultgren, principal, on an important issue concerning the publication of the school yearbook. 14 Known for the intense interest which he shows to all his “boys” as junior counselor, Mr. Harold Griffith gives junior Dave Georlett some advice about his senior class schedule.

Our very busy principal, Mr. Lamont Hultgren, fills his hours by meeting with faculty members, planning daily schedules, arranging assemblies, and organizing the annual calendar. Supervising many MHS activi- ties, Mr. Hultgren emits enthusiasm throughout his long working day. Observing his eighth anniversary as principal of Mo- line Senior High School this year, our chief executive is repeatedly confronted with unexpected problems which constantly challenge his many talents and capa- bilities. His high school office is a busy place where a great deal of school business is transacted by telephone, correspondence, and personal meetings. Contributing much time and energy to the administration of our school is our valuable principal, Mr. Hultgren.

Mr. Schaff also assists Mr. Hultgren and the office person- nel in running the school smoothly. Mr. Norman Ziebell, activity director arranges for the outside use of classrooms, the auditorium, and school corridors. He holds the responsibility for the Homecoming Parade, and the new system of awards for athletes. A somewhat thankless task is the roll of the counse- lors, who play an important part in the efficiency of a good school. Keeping valuable attendance and discipli- nary statistics draws up a heavy burden from the ad- ministration’s shoulders. Norman Ziebell, Lamont Hultgren, and Jay Schaff form a three man team to solve the serious problem of scheduling classes. Producing 2,063 individual schedule cards is a very complicated task, but not half as complicated as changing many of them after the school program has be- gun. 13

Pointing out the importance of observation of our nation’s current events, Gene Shipley holds his American History class in a contin- uous spellbound state with his serious nature and sense of humor. Strong Bond at MHS vote much time to aiding the students. Administrative officials such as the members of the Board of Education run our local system. One of their main duties is to hire only qualified teachers for our high school, and to organize the entire school system’s yearly work. Advanced training in administration produces teachers of high ability in the field of school government. The Student Congress combines the students and teachers with the best leadership qualities to run our lives effectively. Senior student, Ann Boaden, assisted by DeWayne Roush, speech instructor and dramatics advisor, searches for that particular book in MHS’s “room of wisdom.” New MHS math teacher, Miss Carol Kearney, explains the many problems involved in marking the new report cards innovated this year. Students Noel Jackson, Jeannine Forsyth, Pamela Coats, Greg Harvey, and Jan Whitebook are perplexed by their seven layer copies. 15
