?aculz'q . . C. E. STRANGE , GLEN K. HAMILTON The ringmaster under the big top is C. E. Strange. Since 1945, Mr. Strange has done an efficient and credit- able job as principal of North High. He is responsible for the organization and management of the school pro- gram and has general oversight of all the various activities of the faculty and the student body. Public relations come first with him, and he takes great personal interest in helping solve the problems of pupils, teachers, and parents. This job has never been an easy one, yet, Mr. Strange has always found time for participation in all school and extra-curricular activities. His genuine friendliness has won him the respect and admiration of the faculty and student body. Glen K. Hamilton might be referred to as the official trainer of the troupe at North. This ranking is due to his responsibilities as vice principal which include supervising activities, schedule making, and enrollment. Besides these tasks, he keeps the clowns and actors under the big top in line. Only a person of tact and fortitude could hope to handle this job wisely and well, and Mr. Hamilton capably fits this description. In addition to these attributes, he also possesses a fine sense of humor. Wesley Lauterbach is the assistant to Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Strange. He may rightly be called a Jack of All Trades, and a very capable one at that. He supervises the clubs and handles boys' check-outs and pass cards. He aids in the enforcement of detention, helps with supervision in halls and at school activities, and is in charge of school elections. His personality and pleasant disposition are admired by all who know him. WESLEY LAUTERBACH North High School offers its students a wide variety of subjects ranging from art to drivers education. When a person graduates, if he has taken advantage of the courses offered, he is ready to begin either his college education or making a living for himself. At the present time approximately one hundred subjects are offered. If a person averaged four solids and physical education during a three year period, it would take twenty-five years for him to complete all the courses without repeating any one of them. This system presents both variety and opportunity. Only four and one half subjects are required out of fifteen units in senior high school. This means that the student has many electives. The student must choose one subject out of every fourteen subjects offered. To achieve the full benefits of this variety, a person must know to some extent where he is headed in the future. Even if the student has only vague ideas about his future, not much is lost. Because there is correla- tion among all the subjects, some-thing learned in one course may be applied to another. Down through the years, schools find it easy to insert subjects- for as the times change curriculums must keep up with the period. How- ever, it is hard to drop any previously offered material. Although new trends in education must be followed, some of the old ones must be retained. Page Six
