gne Centennial gnger TI-IE FACULTY Miss Bell has her hands full with Sophomore English, girls' gym classes, G. A. A., and the sponsoring of the class ot '58, Her genuine friendliness belies the idea that usually accompanies hair of the Titian hue. Miss Berry instructs the freshies in what they term Bugology. But that isn't all for botany, zoology and typ- ing are part of her sphere to say nothing of her advising the freshman class and captaining the Ladies Basketball Team. Mr. Burkey . . . Buck for short, is a master of all trades. English, American history, library, . . . all are within his control which does prove he is versatile. Mr. Burns is a new comer on the faculty. He's only been with us since the last of january but his genial smile has won him a place among the student body. He teaches typing and shorthand and assists with the athletic coaching. Mr. Ewart, better known as Cy , starts the freshmen in the way they should go by piloting them along the paths of general science. He also handles the boys' gym and is head coach of track. Last year he coached the team to a County championship. Mr. Fleming is one of the Old-timers. He is adviser for the junior class and F. F. A. We overheard someone re- marking about the number of pigs he has supervized in his years here. We hope it was the projects and not the students that was meant. Boys' Chorus, Girls' Chorus, Mixed Chorus, and Orches- tra fill Miss Fry's days to the full and often finds them overflowing. Somehow along with all this she sees that the juniors become acquainted with the great American writers. Noted for her wide vocabulary is Miss Graham. She makes even Latin classes interesting and that is something these days. As a sideline she keeps the affairs of the Sopho- more class under control and sees that new books are pur- chased for the library. Miss Johnson reigns supreme in the Office. She's heard all the excuses for tardiness which makes it hard for the students to think up new ones. She's mighty efficient and we'd hate to predict what would happen to the office if she were to leave. As for Mr. Kelsey. He is a glutton for work. Treasurer of the Organized Activities should be enough for one man. But not Mr. Kelsey. He teaches accounting and other com- mercial subjects, trains ballet dancers, and sings. All joking aside he is very capable and has the admiration of us all. MISS BELL MR. BURKEY MR. EWART MISS FRY MISS IOHNSON MISS BERRY MR. BURNS MR. FLIZMING MISS GRAHAM MR. KFLSFY' 1838-1958 9

C Ci .Jlze Centennial ,tiger 1838-1958 l Mr. Bryant Miss Uthoff Dr. Flint THE Board of Educationfjust what do these words mean to you? Merely five people who make rules and restrictions upon usAOr five loyal citizens who give freely of their time and energy that we may have the best in educationf-We vote for the later for our Board Members do give their time and energy to keep the standards of the school high-But some one says 'lThey get paid for itf'fYet that is where you are mistaken-A They get no financial pay but they get the reward that comes from service well givenfAnd more for they get the satisfaction of helping youth fit itself for future leadership in the community. Who are these board members-We present them to youfMr. Guy Bryant a graduate from the school with the class of 1886-relative of William Cullen Bryant for whom our athletic field Board p of Education Mr. Skinner Mr. Pamp is namedfa well known nurseryman to whom we owe much of the beauty of our campus. Newest member!-Miss Mary L. Uthoff only member of the fair sexaalso a graduate of the school with the class of 'O24piloter of children through the intricacies of math and history in the Princeton Lincoln School-then in the wider serv- ice of County Superintendent of Schools for Bureau County. Member longest in time of servicefDr. O. Flint whose service began in 1911. A graduate ot the class of '88fbeloved physician who has brought many of us into the wrold and has seen us through mumps, measles and other diseases of childhoodfnow interested in the training of our minds as well as in the health of our bodies. Youngest member on the boardMMr. john Skinner graduate of the class of 1904fSecretary of the Board-Keeps out of mischief by seeing that bills are paid, teachers given their salaries, and all the other miscellaneous duties that befall a secretaryfsells insurance as a side line. Last but not least Mr. David Pamp-not a graduate of the school but nevertheless a loyal supporter of all school doingsfby profession one of the well known business men of Main Street. To these public spirited citizens we say, Thank You. Admired by teachers and pupils alike is our principal, Mr. Shaffer. He came to Princeton in 1920 and served for two years as instructor in Science. Then for two years he was in Oak Park and returned to us to serve as our Principal. Besides administrating the affairs of the school he finds time to in- troduce the Seniors to the intracacies of psychology, do numerous things in the community, and take part in the educational meetings of the state and national organizations. Mr. Shaffer Miss Ashdown, our Dean of Girls, may be small of stature but is large in friendship and interest in the students of the school. When not busy with the duties of Dean she propounds the value of z, y, z to the Freshmen or leads the Sophomores through the Pythagorean theorem, or takes the upper classmen through the labyrinth of advanced algebra and solid geometry.

1858-IQ58 10 MR. LOWRY MR. LUND MISS MALSBURY MR. MARTIN MRS. MAYEUR MR. MORTENSEN MISS NICHOLAS MISS PALMER M155 PRINCE MR. WERBELOW gne Centennial ,cnger THE FACULTY Mr. Lowry is leader of the Band. He looks like a pro- fessional in his new uniform. When not working with the Band he manages to keep out of mischief by teaching his- tory or economics and assisting Miss Bell with the Seniors. Note the twinkle in Mr. Lund's eye. He needs it to coral the freshies in math but we think it's because he's a newly- wed. He coaches debate and oratory which keeps him from absorbing too much greenness from his first year students. Do you want a new recipe of a pattern? If so, consult Miss Malsbury. She is another of our diminutive members but she accomplishes no end of things in her Home Ec de- partment. She even has to have an extra class period after school to pass out all the information she knows. Mr. Abe Martin is our new athletic coach and he really is a coach. For further proof look at the football and basketball season. To be sure he teaches history and law but coaching is where he takes the honors. Mrs. Mayeur is a linquist who parles Francais and also English. On the side she advises the juniors, the French Club and sees that the news staff gets it work in on time. Oh yes, she chaperones students to New Orleans during vacations. Mr. Mortensen pilots the Science and Camera Clubs when he isn't teaching physics and chemistry or doing all sorts of research along the same lines. He likes to study and is contemplating getting his doctor's degree. Miss Nicholas keeps busy from sunrise to sunset. Teach- ing English and Public Speaking occupies part of her time while the rest is consumed with play practice and contest coaching. Through it all she comes up smiling. If you want to know the latest situation in world affairs consult Miss Palmer. She teaches history and civics but her pride and joy and worry too is the Tiger. She hardly finishes one until she begins planning the next one. What's a scratch on your little finger or any other ail- ment when there is a capable school nurse like Miss Prince around. She keeps close tab on us all and gives the Senior girls a thorough course in home hygiene. Mr. Werbelow left us at the end of the first semester to take a position at the Deerfield-Shields High School. We hated to see him leave Princeton but we rejoice with him in his promotion.
