All schools musT have adminisTraTions, buT we are sure ThaT no school could possibly have a beTTer one Than has Ripon High School. We feel ThaT all of our successes in compeTiTion wiTh oTher schools in The Tields of aThleTics, agriculTure, speech, and music can be accrediTed direcTly eiTher To The sincere inTeresT and good advice of Mr. STouTier or lvlr. Kingeryq or To The cheerful assisTance of Mrs. Buck: or To The cooperaTion of The Board oT TrusTees. When a sTudenT sTarTs a proiecT or enTers a compeTiTion, iT is encouraging To know ThaT iT he meeTs any problems he can noT solve There will be a member oT The adminisTraTion To sTand behind him or in some way lend a helping hand.
