MR. METTERNICH All who are associated with Mr. Metternich, our principal, agree that his interest, his sportsmanship, and his understanding of the problems and trials that each student brings before him, go together to make him a person liked and to be remembered by all. He is sponsor of the Student Council and under his supervision that organization has become a real functioning body in Pittsfield High School. He stands for the right, regardless of what consequences he may have to suffer for doing so. This quality is one that is badly needed in this age of chaos and turmoil. Yes, Mr. Metternich, we take our hats off to you. A STUDY IN SUNSHINE AND SHADOW 7

MRS. ALMA WHEELER Most people don't realize, as they thumb through their yearbook, the many hands and minds it took to put it together. However, the annual staff is well aware of the work required of each member and adviser, so we take this space to thank Mrs. Wheeler, our assistant adviser for the time she has spent and the effort she put forth to help make this annual bigger and better. Not only is the annual staff indebted to her, but the whole student body is grateful for her willingness to help in time of emergency. Mrs. Wheeler, although she intended to retire for a few years of rest and quiet, agreed to resume her position among the faculty in time of need. To this gracious lady, who is always so understanding, we again express our deep appreciation. OUR JANITORS Mr. Lewe Rowe and Mr. Joe Grable are two of the busiest workers in P.H.S. When anything goes wrong, or there is a job to be done, Joe and Lewe are right on hand, ready to do their share. If there is any truth in the proverb, An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” these two have done a lot to keep the student body healthy. Their unending supply of apples has found its way into more than one hungry students pocket. For your efforts, energy, and patience, the student body is appreciative, and the class of 1950 thanks you. 6

On this page we meet the people who have given themselves whole-heartedly to the task of making school unit No. 10 work more effectively. Many important decisions, which meant many long hours of hard work, had to be made to make this enlarged school unit work more smoothly. Our school was fortunate in having Mr. Voshall, who had previously given many years of service here, become Superintendent of the new unit. To Supt. Voshall and to the members of the board of education, we wish to express our appreciation and thanks for their success in this tremendous task. Miss Betty Warren, formerly the efficient high school secretary to Supt. Voshall, has the honor of being the secretary of school unit No. 10. In this new position she has taken on additional responsibilities and has very capably managed them. BOARD OF EDUCATION—(left to right): Wade Grimes, Edgar Richards, Supt. J. H. Voshall, Ronald Sidwell, Dean Sneeden, Virgil Parks, Arthur Browning, Clyde Hallway. This year something entirely new has been added to our schools in the person of Mrs. Ruby Booth, our unit No. 10 nurse. It has been a pleasure to have Mrs. Booth, with her pleasing personality and kindness, serve us as school nurse. To Miss Warren and Mrs. Booth we say thank you for your services and kindness. 8
