CECIL LEPLEY, President ev-iwwl VK 'WMP FRANK MANNING PAUL B. HANAWALT, Superintendent M. B. DENNIS 'iliihzg Plan tha tengagu irobably no other group has had more maior problems to deal with than the present adminis- tration and school board. During the past year the earthquake damaged the school buildings, and major repair work was necessary on the high school. The blizzard of January posed further problems, especially with the difficulty of keep- ing busses running and the extensive leaking of the roof of the high school. Then to top it all off the fire of February 'IO destroyed the stage and the interior of the auditorium, making another maior repair iob necessary. Many long hours have been spent by these men to cope with the extensive business necessary to keep the school running smoothly. Often theirs is a thankless task, because there are always those who criticize. Mr. Hanawalt has the following message to the students who have been in Puyallup during ti.-. past year. We have often referred to our school system o' - large family. We have encouraged in our students, faculty, and other personnel the family spirit at its best. We like each other and are therefore friendly to one another. We are loyal to everyone and to our entire group. We try to apply this loyalty not only to our school but to our community, state, nation, and the world. We try to analyze our problems carefully. We then make an effort to use our analysis as a basis to put things together in a better way. We are en- deavoring to learn how to treat others like we, ourselves, would like to be treated. Relationships are all important. We are learning that an edu- cation is not at all iust for knowledge and skill. The most important thing is what we do with what we know. E. Stanley Jones, who spoke to our senior high school student body said, 'The creed of today becomes the deed of tomorrow! We are trying, then, to set up ideals today in school which will lead to the finest type of living as we take our places out in the world tomorrow. In our high school there has been a lot of living. We are trying to make it the finest type of living. As our seniors leave us at commencement time, we experience that same family feeling we have when someone leaves home. We wish you the best, seniors., May you be truly successful. Always remember that we will be glad to have you come back and visit us whenever you can. PAUL B. HANAWALT

'diheg Ghart tha iiuurszs In the days of the Vikings there was probably little need for officers, but as the world pro- gressed and things became more complex, they became more and more essential. There are two examples of good, efficient offices in the Puyal- lup schools. The first of these is the Superintendent's of- fice, which plays an important part in the school's functions. There Mrs. Virginia Haynes, Mabel Gug- gisberg, and Gerry Maass handle much of the school's business. They take care of the school system's records, much of the mimeographing, and many other activities. This office is the center of activity for all the Puyallup schools. More familiar to the average high school student than the Superintendent's office is the high school office. This is where Mr. Hansen and Mr. Hartung hold their frequent conferences and where students come for their excuses and to have problems settled. The principals and Mr. Whitesel are always helpful in ironing out dif- ficulties which arise. Here Phyllis Jones and Ruth Ocheltree, the two secretaries, with help from the girls who work in the office, keep the high school records in order. Report cards, attendance slips, DON HARTUNG. Vice Principal bulletins, the telephone, and the office record cards are only a small part of the duties of the secretaries and office girls. Again this year Mr. Hansen has a message to the students expressed in the following words dated February 10, 1950. To the Members of the Class of 1950: Tonight Puyallup High School suffered an- other major catastrophe. The fire which destroyed the stage and the auditorium was much more severe than the earthquake damage of April 13 last year. Out of the ashes and ruins will come a more, beautiful auditorium than before. Puy- allup High School may be down but it's never out. That's the spirit of Puyallup High. My message to the seniors closely parallels this incident. ln life we all have obstacles that have to be overcome. If we have the initiative, the will, and the determination to overcome them, it can be done. ln your lives you will meet these obstacles. When they come, don't give up. Fight all the harder. May the spirit of Puyallup High always be a part of you. HARRY P. HANSEN HARRY HANSEN, Principal PHYLLIS JONES RUTH OCHELTREE VIRGINIA ,Z MMSS MABEL
