MRS rut Lf R4 MR They Gave Us a Building lm The man who guides Colorado Springs schools is Mr. Corning, the superintendent of schools. In his office in the Administration Building he directs the work of the whole school system. The task is a tremendous one, but all who know Mr. Corning say that he is extremely able to handle all the duties the oflice requires. It was he who first realized the need for a new high school building in Colorado Springs. For years he tried to persuade the city's resi- dents to see the necessity, but be- cause of the depression and lack of funds all seemed useless. Then a plan was decided upon, and now, at last he is able to promise the new building. MR. ESMIOL MR. Fox 4 MR. WASSON 4 EU Perhaps the most outstanding quality of Mr. Corning is his understanding. He is the friend of all the students from the live year old kindergarten pupils to the stately seniors of C. S. H. S. Unlike the old-fashioned superintendent, Mr. Corning advocates the most modern method of education: vocational guidance, visual education, manual arts, domestic sciences - all are greatly ap- proved by Mr. Corning, for he sees the need for modern students to know the requirements of a modern world. MR. CORNING '4-Q Mus. STEWART DR. SHIVERSQ . - . z , FORGEY EU The bulk of the work and worry of the grade school curriculum instruction of Colorado Springs rests upon Mr. Wasson's capable shoulders. In arranging the examinations and the curriculum for the hundreds of younger children in the district, he has proved that he thoroughly understands the teaching of modern subjects to the younger students. It is his guiding hand that patiently pre- pares the children for the junior highs and high school. UU The decisions of great importance to the Colorado Springs schools are made by an able board of education consisting of Mr. Esmiol, Mrs. Stewart, Mr. Forgey, Mrs. Fuller, and Dr. Shivers. Through their untiring efforts much is achieved to benefit the students of Colorado Springs. It was they who worked unceas- ingly to obtain a new high school building for Colorado Springs. With Mr. Esmiol as president and Mrs. Stewart as vice-president, the Board did a great deal in the years '38 to '39 of which pupils in Colorado Springs classrooms may be proud.

They Lead fhe Way lm The real shadow behind it all is a man we all know and admire, one who is kind and understanding and who takes a lively interest in everything around the school-the principal, Mr. Roe. He's tall and dignified, but has a sense of humor, and under his leadership the school is ably guided. UU Many of his hours outside the school are spent in playing the organ, a practice at which he is quite adept. Besides being a master of the classics, Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil, he is a member of the Saturday Night Hiking Club, an organization to which many other prominent men in the city as well as in C. S. H, S. belong, Mr. Roe's kindly disposition and ever ready wit add to his being indeed a vital factor in the smooth running of high school. EU The office staff consists of Miss Frike, Mrs. Goddard, and Miss Wiley, The latter, as secretary to Mr. Anderson, keeps a record of all the organizations of the school and their finances. Miss Frike, official registrar, assumes the responsibility of filing and entering students' grades on permanent record cards, while Mrs. Goddard has the constant though perhaps engaging task of listen- ing to various far-fetched excuses of those who came tardy, of those who were sick, and of those who cut! lust upstairs is Mrs. Moore, the patient matron, whose dutv it is to take care of the N. Y. A. work around the school and to be the kindly helper of many worried students. MR. ANDERSON d MARGARET WILEY ANNA GODDARD lm The executive and secretarial end of our school affairs taken care of, something has to be done with finances. lm Mr. Anderson is the budgeteer who balances the books and manages all our financial tangles capably. Being official booster of football, basketball, and all sports ticket sales, he inspires super salesmen to support the teams and to fill the gym with loyal Terrors, former Terrors, and in- terested townspeople for every ax home game. He is a familiar and ml well-liked figure around the cam- pus and adds to the assemblies a dash of humor as well as a com- pact account of dollars and cents. BU This capable crew at the helm casts a leading shadow for the rest of us to follow. When we pull together with their leading efforts, we have our smooth-run- ning, successful high school of today.
