RAE ANN STARR WAYNE BARKER NELLIE ELLBERG The Editors TTI, EVERYBODY! Wayne, Nellie, and Rae Ann, 1 1 the three Tiger editors, are ready and willing to conduct you on your walk through P. H. S. First, a brief summary of the year's work might be included. The editors came to a general agreement that if they just did not have to attend classes, the publication of the yearbook would have been easy. This, of course, was impossible, and no matter how many classes the editors managed to cut, it was just one mad, continuous rush. Meeting deadlines, helping and checking with the various staffs, consulting printers, engravers, and binders, working on write- ups, scheduling pictures—the list is endless. Big Foot Wayne, editor-in-chief, carried the heaviest load. “Little Feet Nellie and Rae Ann, were always available to help Big Foot decide import- ant matters and attempt to keep things running smoothly. Nellie instructed the staffs in mounting and trimming photographs. Rae Ann took care of the literary angle, checking write-ups and handling cor- respondence. Right here is an ideal spot to insert a few words about the various staffs. The editors gave orders and made suggestions, and the staffs are the people who carried them out. The staff spent countless hours dur- ing and after school typing write-ups, mounting pic- tures, and doing art work. Many obstacles impeded their progress, but through continuous hard work during the year their work is at last completed. Many of the fine ideas that have gone into this publication were submitted by talented members of the staff. They are certainly deserving of credit, and nothing could make them happier than the knowledge that the students and citizens of Princeton enjoy and ap- preciate this annual. All right, everybody, it is time to begin the tour. The editors of the 1950 TIGER believe they may be justly proud of their Walk Through P. H. S.' It is their sincere hope that the publication will help the students realize the value of their school, and bring to those who have attended in the past pleasant mem- ories of four years well spent.” 0

. MARKMAN MR. CHASE MR LOWRY MR. BRYANT MR. FAWCETT Board of Education HTHE FIRST and most vital steps' of the school year are taken by the Board of Education which is composed of Mr. Charles Fawcett, presi- dent; Mr. James Lowry, secretary; Mr. Chester Markman, Mr. Warren Chase, and Mr. Miles Bryant. These five business men must solve prob- lems that arise concerning Princeton High School, and this year they have solved the rural transporta- tion problem by the procurement of three rural buses which are also used for special school trips. They have continued the treatment of rooms with acoustical blocks to the total of seven rooms in- cluding the office, typing room, little theater, cafe- teria, music room, library, math, room, corridors. and others will be completed in the future. The kitchen in the home economics laboratory has been entirely remodeled. Plans are, also, being made to redecorate the sewing department and to add to the building more study halls, new chorus room?, a band room and an industrial arts department. This year an extra teacher was hired in addi- tion to filling the two vacancies that were left last year. This action has helped to equalize the teach- ing load. The people of Princeton, students and faculty are very proud of the many fine things the school board has done in making Princeton High School an outstanding school in a progressive community. 8
