9 'X'-7 if HDIHIIIISTHHTIUH 5rQ,,Y' if Mr. Graham Miss Martin The familiar faces of Mr. Graham and Miss Martin are well known to faculty and students alike. In their offices flanking the school entrance, they keep the detailed records so vital to the operation of a school this size. Miss Martin, whose official title is Clerk of the Board, is charged with keeping for the district the financial records of the school. In her many years of service, however, she has acquired dozens of other responsibilities which she aquits with the same calm efficiency. Mr. Graham is the attendance officer for the school and his gruff man- ner and rubber stamps serve to keep theqtruant urge of the students in hand. . In spare moments, Mr. Graham acts as custodian for the stationery supplies and devotes the bulk of the summer to the repair of the some three thousand textbooks in the school.

HINHIHISTHHTIUH Mr. Stollar Mr. Nisbet Miss Beik The administration, under the leadership of Principal Nisbet, closed a year of successful supervision of high school affairs. Some of the things done which touch the student body at large are: the experimenting with a new system for athletic activities, permitting all students, including those who ride buses, an opportunity to participate, closer cooperation between the school and employees of student labor, organization of the student body for war time activities, institution of Red Cross and Safety classes with Home Nursing for girls, cooperation of the boys with the airplane produc- tion program and smudging programg and finally an emphasis on the necess- ity of self-discipline in the preparing of each individual for the emergency. This emphasis is based upon the theory that every individual wants to do his best for his government, and the more knowledge one has the more he can do. Miss Freida Beik, Vice principal and Dean of Girls, is in charge of the records and heads the girls counselling service, She is advisor for girls in their individual and group problems, and is ex-officio member of all com- mittees which have to do with girls or their activities. She is advisor, coun- sellor, and friend. She played a large part in the success of this Nugget. As Dean of Boys and Vice Principal, Mr. Paul Stollar occupies the same relative position with the boys as Miss Beik does with the girls. He heads the advisory and counselling committee and is faculty representative on the Student Executive Committee. If it is a Student Body affair, see Mr. Stoll- ar. Program and finance are his responsibility. Under his direction the Student Body has managed to remain solvent under the pressure of many expanding activities. He was general advisor for this book. ,.-. Q C671 f'-L -.,.. it lv, .. I' . 'H 'P . Nj :V , , 'ix

Miss McEvoy, Mrs. Clemo, Mr, Mognis, Mrs. Stewart Closer coordination between actual life experiences and classroom work is the aim of the Oroville High School English Department. Two new teachers, Miss Mc Evoy and Mrs. Stewart fMiss Parinj, work- ed together with veterans Mrs. Clemo, Mrs. Spencer, and Mr. Mognis, to present one of the most interesting years ever experienced by O.U.H.S. English classes. The sale of defense stamps highlighted the activities of the English De- partment for the 1941-1942 year. Clubs were also formed in all Mrs. Clemo's very active classes. Some classes wrote clever and interesting limericks and read several famous books. Among the most interesting composition assignments were If I Had Only Three Hours To Live and My Most Unforgetable Char- acter. Public Speaking was an added feature in many classes. Propaganda was another timely subject studied. fl, I , 2 14 484 f o o . t .
