1936 MISS ELIZABETH E. PACKER DEAN OF GIRLS Willi two-hundred girls graduating, you call each one by name. You know our plans for the future; you are familiar with our past years. You have been a guiding hand through our last four years; you have advised us in view of the next four. It is almost incredible that you should treat each girl ' s question with the same amount of everlasting interest. No problem is too trivial for your attention; no problem is too weighty for you to cope with success- fully. You have been a friend, an adviser to all of us, and each girl who is graduating considers you her personal friend. Yours is a position requiring patience, willing- ness, and complete understanding. No one could have fulfilled it better in the past years than you have. DEAN OF BOYS Three are your particular gifts that make you a popular dean of boys: a magnetic personality, an understanding of human nature, and good sportsmanship. You hold the confidence and command the respect of all those who come in contact with you. You have that winning quality of companion- ship, and an ingenious way of judging character that seldom fails. You are well liked for your active interest and cooper- ation in all school projects, and your pa- tient, capable handling of all the matters brought before you. Your services as sen- ior adviser chairman and as dean of boys have been appreciated by the boys of many classes. Your words of advice, fellowship, and inspiration will long be remembered by the boys of New Trier. MR. FREDERICK A. KAHLER 15

THE ECHOES PRINCIPAL To you we students owe our thanks for the promotion of democracy at New Trier. Five years ago, when you came to New Trier, you brought us an ideal. This ideal was one of equality and democracy. The spread of these principles has been gradual but definite. Today there is no organization or function in school that has not benefited in some way from your ideas. Through your efforts greater sympathy, a better understanding, and a truer friendship have developed between the faculty and the student body. The goal of student self- government which you have given to us is an ideal which New Trier will some day, with your assistance, realize. MR. MATTHEW P. GAFFNEY BOARD OF EDUCATION O. R. BARNETT. H.

THE ECHOES MAN AC E R REGISTRAR MR. W. L. BROWN Mr. W. L. Brown is Business Manager for the school and also Director of Reference and Research. In this capacity he conducts surveys which are invaluable to the admin- istration. It is due to him that we have our present system of registration, which he still supervises though a great part of that work has been taken over by the registrar. Through his constant research work in vari- ous fields, it has been possible for the ad- ministration to accomplish things which otherwise would have been difficult.
