Administrators help us with problems and interests Mr. Carl K. Krause, our high school principal, is looked upon with great admiration for his worthy council. It is through his efforts that student problems are solved, or transformed into a more useful approach of benefit to all. Mr. Krause received his A. B. from Eastern Michigan University and his M. A. from the University of Michigan. After spending some time teaching English at Richmond High, he became our principal. Perhaps the man more responsible than any other for the smooth functioning of Richmond High School is our superintendent, Mr. Alex Nelson. It was through his efforts that Rich- mond received a new school. He often is very busy with his many problems dealing with the happiness and welfare of the student body and grants us many privileges we sometimes fail to see and appreciate. Mr. Nelson received his B.S. from Eastern Michigan University and his M.A. from the University of Michigan. c§ 8

Secretaries have busy days No doubt each and every student has been helped in some way by the busy secretaries, Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. Armstrong, and Mrs. Jenkins. The average school day provides as much work and excitement for them as for any student. As one passes the office, the secretaries may be seen attending to the many duties awaiting their attention. Counseling helps students in many ways Perhaps the person who has heard more of the students’ problems than any other faculty member is Richmond High’s coun- selor, Mrs. Marion Ferguson. It is to this fine lady who always possesses a warm smile and a cheery disposition that we take our problems, both large and small. Mrs. Ferguson may always be counted on to give guidance to any student desiring help. To many she has been a close friend from freshman days to graduation. Mrs. Ferguson received her A.B. from Albion College and studied at Northwestern University. The library offer Mrs. Marion Snitchler, our librarian, is very helpful to students requesting aid in doing research work. It is with our interests in mind and through her fine efforts that we have the complete library we do. Mrs. Snitchler is always present with a bit of advice and information of great benefit to the students. 10
