The awareness of our Board of Education to meet the needs of the increasing number of young people seeking an education is shown in their plans for a new high school. Land has been purchased for the site of the new building. Even though we will not be privileged to attend this new high school, it is our hope that it will be one of the finest in Iowa.

Dedicotion It is with deep pleasure that we dedicate the 1962 Pep to Mrs. Housrnan. Our training under her guidance in Journalism is put into practice through the edition of our school paper, The Acorn , which she has successfully sponsored for the past twelve years. After a lapse of many years, Quill and Scroll was revived under the sponsorship of Mrs. Housman three years ago. For two years she sponsored the TCC, a choral reading club that stemmed from a Remedial Reading class that was added to her already heavy English schedule. We are taught in her class to read and interpret American Literature. To aid us in a more thorough study, we delve into the periods of American history that we may appreciate the living conditions and trend of times that inspired writers of prose and poetry. For several years Mrs. Housman has included a study of vocations for English Ill students. Many of her students have become successful becausea wise teacher started them 'thinking about their futures in time to prepare for them. Mrs. Housman is a member of the Methodist Church, the Altrusa Club, and the AAUW. She spends most of her summer vacations working as cashier in the Houghton State Bank, where she proves that wise vocational planning provides a fuller, more rounded life. She has shown that good teachers practice what they teach. . .but wait. there is a teachers meeting at 8:15 .... 9 fir f . . .and a deadline to be met on The Acorn . . . 1w hs m5,g a.. -it Q , 1 ,.f,s,..

Aciministrlotion When Red Oak High School consolidated in 1961-62 and became Red Oak Community High School, we gained 200 new students and one new Superintendent. Many new problems also arose due to the increased enrollment, but Mr. Ogland has met them with quick, decisive action. Since our enrollment has changed and grown, our school policies must also change and grow. Growing pains are often unpleasant for any school, but the end results are important for the future of every student of ROCHS. Mr. Ogland is well-qualified to help our school grow and advance. He received his B.A. degree at the State College of Iowa, his M.A. degree at Ames and has done advanced work at S.U.I. He was also a member of the PDK National Honorary Fraternity. He is a member of the American Association of School Administration, the Iowa Association of School Administration, and the National Education Association. He was past secretary and member of the six-man planning board for the ISEA. 132559 ,, . 121 - f' - ',:, -', ,'--ii tiir f 2 4 '- , 12 . 7 . ' I sUPER1NTENDENT,A.B.

Mr. Tock has been in the educational field for twenty-three years and is presently working on his Ed. D., Doctor of Education. He stated that he is very pleased with the way that we, as students, are adjusting to our problem of increased enrollment. He is also pleased with the majority of us who have formed good study habits and have good school spirit. We, the Seniors of '62 are proud to have had Mr. Tock as our principal these past four years.
