In charge of this explor- ation was Dr. Fridtiot Nansen who braved the treacherous North for three year. Upon returning to Norway, Dr. Nansen was widely acclaimed for his new discoveries and explorations. However, the true spirit of this voyage was represented in his sturdy little ship, the FRAM, whose name means forward, It was in this same spirit of forwardness and achievement that our school hon- ored this Norwegian craft by nam- ing our yearbook the FRAM. 1947 FRAM Louise Still Co-Editors Justin Rogers

The editors of the 1947 FRAM, in recogni- tion of Mr. Whinnery's many years of service to the Sandusky Public Schools, take pleasure in respectfully dedicating this volume to him. After the First World War, during which he served as a captain in the 332nd United States Infantry, he was called to Sandusky to assume the position of principal of the senior high school. He continued in this capacity until April 1, 1939, when he was appointed superintendent of schools. Mr. Whinnery has always been known as an advance thinker in methods and curricula, never satisfied with obsolete or ineffective teaching methods. He has represented the school in state and sectional educational or- ganizations, where his opinion carried weight. Not only the Sandusky Public Schools have benefited from his understanding and guid- ance, but also numerous church, club, and civic movements have profited from his gen- erous attention and tireless efforts. With this dedication the FRAM staff ex- tends hearty congratulations and speaks for the entire student body in voicing its apprecia- tion and best wishes to Superintendent of Schools Karl E. Whinnery. Mr. and Mrs. Whinnery
