mclzeffs q0lf noi mg 012 Oaffy However hard ou te cners might try to appear stern and austere in tn classroom most students have the :nance to know th ni informally through our clubs and activities as being as genial and fun-loving as we are. The students tnus able to meet the faculty as friends have acquired interesting bits about the various peda- snacks. This piece oi information has cash value- so summer speedsters beware. Even though the day is steaming and visions of frosty lakes dance in your head dont zip too fast through the city streets because one of the P. H. S. coaches may pull along side. Please dont try to alibi oecause lll bet Mr. Hartman knows all the answers. Miss Sundling wont have to just dream of cool waters while the luly sun beats down because she can be displaying her strokes in Lake Superior on which her Lrother has a comfy log cabin. Another physical edu- 'ation teacher Miss Waterman will spend the summer mon hs resting in a small inland town when not dili- gently studying at summer school. lts not difficult to guess that the hobbies of our two art teachers Miss Davenport and Miss Samson run in tne artistic line. Miss Davenport likes all the crafts ut her night school jewelry class holds a particular fascination. Miss Samson likes to do water color paint- ing during the summer but still she finds time to swim ride and tour the country. Last summer she took in Quebec and this summer she will be saying Cali- fornia Here I Come. Miss Sweitzer s evenings this past w'nter have been very much occupied with night school students. This coming vacation will find her heading East to the New York Worlds Fair and a little golf on the side. Two librarians Mrs. Alfsen and Miss Cole will also soon be eastward bound for the fair. Miss Cole probably wont wish to stay for long in the big city because she has a cottage at Coral Michigan where she can in- dulge in her favorite pastime planning houses. Mrs. Alfsen prefers the wintertirne because then she can ice skate but when the snow begins to melt she shines up her bicycle in anticipation of peddling around Pontiac. Farmer Snyder who proudly boasts of his ten cows and flock of sheep is in charge of intra-school finances. Miss Barnett also digs in the good earth and she dis- plays her exceptional vegetables to who ever gives her the opportunity. Last Christmas traveler Mr. Gray spent Christmas prowling around the Florida keys. He being a Spanish Margaret Tiebout library' Alice Alfsen library- Ruth Cole library.

Iames C. Covert, Assistant Principal, Iohn Thors Ir., Principalg Frank I. Du Frain, Assistant Superintendent of Schools. ur course flzese maid -- Iames H. Harris fulfilled his boyhood ambition when he became super- intendent of the schools in Pontiac. In preparation for this position he attended the University of Michigan and did graduate work at the Univer- sity of Chicago and at the University of Minnesota. He began his career in Saginaw and then taught Latin and Greek at Orchard Lake Military Academy. Mr. Harris was prominent in Pontiac teaching circles previous to the final acceptance of his present position here. His resignation, effective at the end of the present school year, marks the end of twenty-one years of service as superintendent. A former principal of Pontiac High School, Mr. Frank I. Duljrain, is now assistant superintendent of schools. His position requires that he discuss financial problems with the Board of Education and do the buying for the entire Pontiac School system. Mr. lohn Thors is an especially well known figure in the life of the seniors. Upon their entrance into the realm of l2th grade, he interviews them and checks over their credits. He has also conducted many of their senior meetings. However, whether or not the seniors have been aware of the fact, Mr. Thors has been arranging curriculums and classes throughout their l career in order that they might attain the final stage-gradua- tion-with the least possible obstacles. Thus every year congratulations are in order for his seeing that each group of graduates has been properly guided through the three years in high school. Mr. lohn C. Covert became assistant principal oi Pontiac High School high schoo quite by accident, or rather after a series of such events. He originally planned to become an engineer but was tempted by teaching a position in a one room rural school. From then on fate led him indirectly to the doorstep of this school. At the beginning of each semester Mr. Covert may be seen O.K.ing schedules, and changing them. During the year under our new system, he makes our excuses and tardy slips. He also heads 2l6 study hall, gi supervises the movies, and teaches mathematics and civics in summer school. ves senior exams, acts as faculty adviser of Student Council, 21 Iames H.
