FACULTY Ripon Hi welcomed four new teachers this year to replace those who left us at the end of last year. Mrs. Edith Zelaya took charge of the English department, Miss Sara lane Strackbein the commercial department, Mr. Eric lacobsen the boys' P. E., and Mr. Melvin Weyand the mu- sic department. Naturally, we held our breath a bit, at first, but soon found that all fitted very nicely into our comparatively harmonious school life. Although all departments do not have com- petitive activities, those that do provide an indi- cation of the caliber of work that is characteristic of the faculty as a whole. Mr. Poletti continues to produce state debate champions, as well as to sponsor a type of student body government that has created great interest among other schools. Our athletic department, under Mr. Iac- obsen and Mr. DeSelle, made a good showing, particularly in View of the limited number of boys available for the various sports. Mr. Wey- and has apparently found some new vitamin complex to feed the music students, for the de- partment has. made wonderful progress this year. Many useful items, made in the shop under the direction of Mr, DeSelle, find their Way into numerous homes of the students. Of equal in- terest are the varied items-gifts and otherwise -that take shape in the art department. Mr. Kingery is still tops when it comes to making real farmers out of the boys in Ag. Mrs. Bruner is so efficient in her home Ec. work that one of her students contracted for a job of real honest- to-goodness home-making soon after school is out. tBest wishes, Eleanorll Miss Strackbein keeps the office and faculty supplied with steno- graphers. Mr. Arganbright's biology students know all about grasshoppers and frogs, while his chemistry students have become experts at producing bad odors. i..,i E s 'E ROBERT ARGANBRIGHT Biology Chemistry Physics General Science Iournalisrn N, s A x

LILA BUCK Secretary ADMINISTRATICDN The fact that the personnel of our board of trustees, as Well as our principal and vice-principal, has remained unchanged for a number of years makes it difficult to say anything new about our administration. All concerned are gen- uinely interested in the constant improvement of the school, and in providing satisfying conditions for both the student body and the faculty. The board does its work so smoothly, efficiently, and quietly that most of the time we even forget it exists. Mr. Stouffer's office is open to the students at all times. The friendly atmos- phere therein is an ideal place for students to bring both their troubles and their joys. You can be sure they do both. Mr. Stouffer's sympathetic understanding of young people is a real asset to the school. It was principally through the efforts of the administration that the district was sold on the idea of a special tax to provide for a program of building and remodelling, and a thoroughly modernized school is in prospect for the students a few years hence.
