Principal Earl Delph Is Friend to Teachers and Students A figure of authority as he stands in front of the main entrance to Peru High, Mr. Delph seems to be monarch of all he surveys, is the center of school act: the principal Administering school policies set up by the school board, preparing class schedules, and arranging school activities are just a few of the numerous duties of Principal Earl Delph. He is always busy handling school affairs. Assisting him with his many duties are his secretary, Charlotte Baker, and the extra-cur- ricular fund bookkeeper, Susie Dyer. They are always on hand to aid students when Mr. Delph is occupied. Miss Baker ' s duties include making a daily list of absentees, filling out honor roll cards, showing students how to sign out, and various other work; Miss Dyer sells basketball, football, and cafeteria tickets. Most freshmen become very frightened on the first day of school in the fall when Mr. Delph gives his opening speech on the public address system. However, once these new stu- dents have learned who is boss, they begin to look upon this man as a friend who wants to help them succeed, not only in school but also in later life. Each year students become closer to Mr. Delph. Both teachers and pupils are assured of un- derstanding and thoughtful advice from the principal. Juniors and seniors rely on him to help support school projects, such as class plays and the Rodeo. College-bound seniors are grateful to Mr. Delph for all the time he spends in filling out records of high school grades and sending them on to designated col- leges. Students found Mr. Delph very cooperative when they signed a petition to have a pep ses- sion before each basketball game. They con- sisted of skits drawn up and presented by members of the student council. The pep talks given by Mr. Delph and other teachers often influenced both the student body and the team members. He also permitted a caravan of cars to travel to Kokomo for the regional games. No matter how busy he may be, Mr. Delph al- ways has time to listen to the varied problems of the students. A new acquaintance to some and an old acquaintance to others, Mr. Delph is certainly a friend to all — students as well as teachers. 22

For persons who wish to take advanced studies in the commercial field, typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping are offered. Students who are majoring in business education take one or more of these advanced subjects. Those who plan to go to college often take typing and shorthand. There is a one-semes- ter course in typing for just this purpose. Stu- dents also find shorthand useful in college. Marian Hamilton, B.S., M.S. Bookkeeping, Typing, Senior Y-Teens Sponsor.
