RHOADES, INEZ M. Secretary to the Principal “T s’pose you want your schedule changed!’’ APPELL, MRS. CARL Attendance Clerk “Where were you fifth hour?’’ The many tasks which Miss Rhoades fulfills as secretary to the principal do not keep her from bestowing a friendly smile upon our CREST photographer. Arranging each student’s schedule of classes is one of Miss Rhoades’ most important jobs. Miss McMillen, Mrs. Appell, and Mrs. Gaspich are the other members of our efficient office staff. Besides the departments whose work is pictured on the preceding pages, there are several others in our school which we could never do without. These include the home economics, athletics, music, and manual arts depart- ments, and the program which helps our handicapped children. GASPICH, MRS. ROBERT Office Clerk “Oh, 1s that so?’’ a » DYSLIN, LORETTA E. Accompanist

Our teachers have found that a pupil grasps a foreign tongue much more quickly and finds it more interesting, if emphasis is placed on the speaking instead of the reading. The languages taught at Peoria High School are Latin, French, Spanish, and German. YUHAUSE, JOSEPH.

Funeral shadows are cast over Athens; the time has returned. Again then to Crete and the Minotaur’s jaws, fourteen of the youth Athens holds dear. Neither tears of the mothers nor pleas of the king Avail. Then comes from Attica in the shining Agean A hero to slay this hideous beast. O noble youth, son of Aegeus, a mortal born. Thou hast outwitted those who would kill thee; The sword and the sandals are thine by thy strength — The same strength that thou used ’gainst the Marathon’s monster. Zeus grant it protect thee now! Now, loved of thy country, praised by its poets, first of its heroes — Seek the unknown! Thy sails, now black, Will carry thee far, to.the greatest of perils. Fight hard, then, O Theseus! No virtues thou lack’st. Zeus will grant a white-sailed return. Seniors, this tale is not without meaning; As Theseus, you, too, must seek the unknown. Tried here and proven, you now venture forth Towards your greatest adventure. You sail not alone; Our prayers follow with you. Godspeed!
