ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY The adminisTraTion and TaculTy are The backbone of any school sysTem. We feel ours aT MonTour is second To none. This year has been an unusually Trying and diTTiculT one Tor boTh. The problems They have had To Tace as a resul+ of The emergency halT-day schedule, The ioinT- ure OT Robinson and Kennedy Townships, and The changing of horses in The mid- dle of The sTream when we finally did move inTo The new school are Too nu- merous To menTion. BUT our superiors have passed This obsTacle course wiTh Tlying colors. For This we exTend To Them our sincere congraTulaTions and hearTTelT Thanks. UNDERCLASSMEN Our underclassmen are a group ThaT we and They can be very proud To have as a parT oT The MonTour school body. They have Talcen an acTive inTeresT in MonTour. Among Their ranlcs They can counT leTTermen in TooTball. leTTermen in baslceTball, as well as many honor sTudenTs and many leaders wiTh greaT poTenTial in Their classes and in The var- ious clubs in The school. InTo Their hands The Task of mainTaining and building Tur- Ther The scholasTic and aThleTic repuTa- Tion oT MonTour is placed. This is no small Taslc, buT if The pasT is any indica- Tion of The TuTure, They are more Than capable oT handling The assignmenT. EUNIENIS
