l Twenty JAMES C. PENIWELL CTING in the double capacity of vice- principal and boysi adviser, James C. Peniwell fills a position requiring rare insight and tact. In his two years at Polytech- nic, students have always found him ready to lmeet their needs. The problem of his office is to establish helpful personal contacts with the boys of the school and to create close cooperation among the faculty, student body, commission, and the Boys' League. Because of the well-organized methods used, the accomplishment ol this aim has not been difhcult. An important function of the office is the formulation of plans 'for social and recreational events which can be enjoyed by all students and which will be a means of drawing them closer together. qTo instill into the minds of students the necessity for careful and wise use of leisure time and for a sturdy foundation in mind and body has been the underlying aim of the activities which the vice-principal has sponsored. MISS ISV ELYN LOFLAN D ERHAPS there is no other phase of high school life that affords girls the friendly atmosphere and acquaintances found in Girls' League activities. This is especially true at Polytechnic because of the note of sincerity and quiet graciousness that Miss Lofland has brought to her office as dean of girls. Although comparatively new to Poly, Miss Lofland has lost no time in falling into step and in helping the girls acquire both leadership and sports- manship. Her duties include assisting the girls to make adjustmentsg encouraging them to par- ticipate in the school activities for which they are capable and to which they are attracted, so that they may actually become a part of the schoolg and in establishing the ideal of progress in the minds of each and every student with whom she has contact. Another important phase of Miss Lofland's work is the creation of so friendly an atmosphere in her office that girl: find themselves naturally drawn to it. ADMINISTRATION
