I O Miss Dorothy Weber, Dean of Girls, has accomplished much during the short time she has been with us. Her position is a challenge which she has met very well. Other than answering the telephone, writing absentee excuses and talking to parents she has many problems to cope with. She can be firm when a student has made it necessary, and she is understanding when a girl has brought a problem to her. She enjoys her work, and is very interested in the activities of the students, as can be seen by her attendance at school plays, concerts, sports events, and dances. Her warm smile has made her many friends among teachers and students alike. Row l: Marge Cerovsky, Judy Lange.

Superintendent P. J. Jenema Although P. J. Jenema has only been with the Wyandotte schools a short time he has accomplished much. Modern new school buildings now adorn Wyandotte's skyline. Of particular interest to Roosevelt students is the new addition under con- struction at the rear of this school. This will house the shops and music department. Always busy with important proiects he is never too hurried for a cheerful greeting to the students. Another admirable trait is his willingness to share with other administrators, teachers and students any honors that may come to the school. Individual laurels won by teachers or stud- ents always brings forth a friendly letter of appreciation from Wyandotte's school leader. He gains loyalty from his school family because he inspires loyalty. Board of Education - AClmil1iSIl'GtiOI1 Seated Cleft to rightD-Ray E. Mix, Miss Elizabeth A. Murray, Peter J. Jenema, Henry J.

Whitney is a man of few words. lt may seem to many that his favorite word is no . But he has not entirely thrown the word yes from his vocabulary and when teachers or students present ideas that seem to him to be worthy, a yes is forthcoming. Mr. Whitney has rather good perception and is quick to see the merits or evils of a proposition. He has the interest of the school very rnuch at heart and although he is not one to hand out much praise, one can always know how he stands with Mr. Whitney. He is pleasant, yet he can be firm, as those who fail to live up to the ideals of the school find out quickly, and often sorrowfully. Principal C. J. Whitney 6

The counselor's chief iob is to help the student decide which of the three courses, college, commercial or general, is the right one for him. Another iob of the counselor's is to make out a schedule for the next semester so it will please you as much as possible. Last but not least, they are always willing to listen to any Five credits behind ? Row l: Mrs. Modesta Gamble, Keith Lance, Miss Mary Robinson.
