OFFICE AND LIBRARY Our information bureau, office to you, has Mrs. Bezold at the controls. She listens to the really super complaints and problems of the ever-questioning students. In the office, Miss Newbury skillfully irons out schedule and study problems for many a bewildered freshman. Yes sir, P.L.H.S. has an office to be proud of. In the library, students have found Miss MacCoon, our librarian, has many understanding and thoughtful opinions. If fx , Miss MacCoon, Mrs. Bezold Q ' -Lfvur..

if , f A, . - - MR. PRATT This year has seen the successful completion of the first full school term under the able administra- tion of our principal, Mr. Pratt. Since his arrival during the last half of the previous year, Mr. Pratt has become genuinely well liked by both students :md faculty through the medium of maintaining a sincere interest in his work and in the people with whom he comes in contact. Those of us who have accepted his offers of advice and guidance have found the door of his office always open and a portion of his time always available. Having had so helpful and understanding a principal, we, the class of nineteen forty-four, feel fortunate indeed to have completed our final year at Pompton Lakes High School under the direction and supervision of Mr. Pratt. RUM WHUM MISS REIMAN N Up to her ears in excuses, but still smiling! That describes Miss Reimann the way many of us see her. As Dean of Girls she has to lend an ear to our many and varied pleas, excuses, and tales of woe. Her sunny disposition and pleasing manner certainly make it easy to accept any decision she makes. MR. HOFFMAN President and only member of the somewhat ele- vatedl' Inner Sanctum! That's Mr. Hoffman, our Dean of Boys. Many of us have made the long climb to his office on the second floor and stood in line waiting to be sentenced. In spite- of this, we still hold him in high esteem and are proud when we are able to have him as one of our friends. Page 2 MISS REIMANN, MR. HOFFMAN Dean of Girls, Dean of Boys

Miss Barrett handles the general science classes, devoted mainly to freshmeng Mr. Standish conducts his biology classes, making meek students as well as the others dissect various specimens, and Mr. Goodman keeps the chemistry classes breathless, Won- dering where and when the next explosion is going to occur. Mr. Goodman, Mr. Standish MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT To learn what formula to use to solve which problem, or why x-1-y:z, the mathe- matically inclined students must consult either Mrs. Dockery or Miss Reimann. Al- though they teach very difficult subjects, these two teachers do an excellent job of lightening the students' tasks. Miss Reimann explains the intricacies of algebra II, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry, while Mrs. Dockery teaches algebra I, plane geom- etry, and general math.

In our well equipped shop, Mr. Jochem gives out with his experience and knowledge. In the mechanical drawing room, Mr. Reynolds ably holds down the desk position. Students, noting well-dressed females around, whether their clothes be homespun or otherwise, may point a knowing finger toward Miss Rich- mond. Also those delightful, between class odors may be attributed to her cooking room. Mr. jochem, Mr. Reynolds, Miss Richmond Page 4
