mdi ma cms GLADYS B. ERDAHL Miss Gladys Erdahl . . . Dean of Girls . . . understanding and lenient. To her, we express sincere appreciation for the work she ' s done, while, with a genuine interest in the problems of the students, she has made us feel she is one to confide in. An able handler of our extra-curricular activ- ities, she has remained a friend to us all; and for the confidence she has placed in us with earnest frankness and patience, we are all duly thankful. Tho always on the go, we can never find her too busy to pause, for a brief talk, to clear our prob- lems . . . JOHN M. HOUGHLAND Our Dean of Boys, Vice Principle and attendance officer has greatly impressed us all with his efficiency and patience, and his understanding counseling is a necessity in our school. While the nature of his job tends towards strictness, he has remained both friendly and cheerful to everyone, and, in sincere attempts to create mutual un- derstanding between himself and the stu- dents, he is a master. If he ever is called upon to take over the duties of the principal, he again shows his outstanding capabilities as a man well-qualified for his position . . . Page 19

But, in all seriousness, truthfully we can say that these people are really tops with the student body; all of them. The skillful and congenial manner in which they can cheerfully accept jokes and teasing, and continue day in and out to teach and give constructive criticism to us, are traits everyone admires and respects. Appreciated, indeed, is our faculty staff . . . Page 18

wm we a jouh in.,. Who can forget that first day when we were all so raw and green; unaccustomed and foreign — when we were found sneaking down to the cafeteria, to try to avoid carry- ing all those trays? Remember that uncomfortable feeling we all used to get when anything wearing yellow cords went by — those tickets for elevator rides? But, out of all this torture and agony ' a presentable class always manages to survive, and from what we can see, the class of ' 53 is certainly off to a good start. Already, they ' ve begun to take on responsibilities and accept jobs and accomplish them with superior results. You ' ve got two more years to go (and don ' t kid yourself, they go fast), and here ' s hoping that you stay as nice and friendly as you are now . . .
