ONE OF THE MORE PLEASANT DUTIES OF OUR PRINCIPAL IS WRITING HIS TREASURE CHEST MESSAGE. The Prineipalps Message . . . To the members of the john R. Rogers family, teachers and students, the Treasure Chest is a yearly treat. As you eagerly scan the pages, you relive the events and scenes recorded there. True enough, that thrill comes strongest to those Who are the most active school citizens. Intelligent participation in student government, Girls' League, Boys' Federation, journalism, athletics, dramatics, debate, school clubs, or any other form of student activ- ity is wonderful training for adult citizenship. And so in your 1955 Treasure Chest you see the record of that participation, and you thrill to it as you will 10 or 20 years hence. And you will say to yourself and to otherswmllhat is what makes Rogers such a wonderful place in which to gain a high school educationf' gg f fwfr?

I'urrly attenrls meetings with other principals ancl businessmen, signs letters and approves school projects. I see Paul C. Klacilown, vice-principal, several times a mlay. I enjoy knowing Mr. Mactlovvn, anal he must be a very popular man because he has visitors all clay. Some go in for a few minutes ancl come out with papers antl recortls and a smile while others leave his office with a long face antl a small pocket-sizetl carcl. Retl must he his favorite color because that is the only one I ever see. .X fter lo years of service, he has become an artlent sup- porter of school activities. There is selclom a game. tlance or any school activity that he misses. Mrs. LaYelIe Black, girls, atlviser, makes innumerable trips between the Girls' League office ancl the main office. I especially enjoy her frienclship because of her warm smile and personality. I can plainly see why so many girls take problems to her. Hvith the help of Mrs. Helen Lelantl, she atlvises the various committee chaire men as they plan projects each semester. Since the lioys' Ifecleration office is at the other sitle of the building, I tlon't see E. Il. Chrisman, boys' atlviser, as often as I would like, but I know him when I see him. Ile always takes time to explain why the boys mustn't tlo some of the things that they'cl like to tlo. He also atlyises the Iloys' Federation committees antl officers. 'Ilhese four- Klr.
