PERINTENDENT Dr. Puff needs no intxoduction to the clam of 1953 because he has been super- intendent of schools since we were in second grade. He is a sincere friend of the students and wants us to have the best ed- ucation that Scottdale can afford to give us. He has worked hard to get a new high school for Scottdale or at least to modern- ize the present one. We hope that his ef- forts will be successful in the not too dis- tant future. Dr. Puff is a fine educator and has made many improvements ins the schools during the eleven years of his minstration. ' Mrs. Kimball has been secretary School Board and clerical assistant to Dr. Puff for the past six ye . She is helpf and co-operative. UW l 4 PRI CIPAL Scottdale High School welcomes Mr. ell as high school principal replacing Mr. Byers who retired last spring. Mr. Ax- tell came to us from Cochranton Consoli- dated School where he taught Physical ed- ucation and served as athletic coach. He is a graduate of Slippery Rock State Teach- ers' College and has aMaster of Education degree from State College. He has the Welfare of the students at heart and is interested in student activities. We hope he will be happy in his new position. Mrs. Maloy was always johnny-on-the- spot whenever the need arose. She was a well liked teacher and an efficient sec- retary to the principal.

WE H0 OR The Class of 1953 dedicates this volume of the Scottie to Miss Oma Stoner who is retiring this year. For twenty-seven years she has taught English and Latin and fre- quently directed class plays, too. We like to remember her as she stood be- fore the class with twinkling eyes and mis- chievous smile. A joke and a hearty laugh was a good beginning for the lesson. She has enjoyed teaching. uh has beerifun,nshesays Not a period passed but we were impressed by her knowledge gained through study and reading. ln appreciation of her teaching, our class is happy to honor Miss Stoner who is so well- deseribed by a line, slightly revised, from Chaucer: 'And gladly would she learn and gladly teach. She was continually adding to her own store of knowledge, amazing us that one small head could carry all she knew . iw if rx gb NX is MJ 3' 'x Miss Stoner taught us to follow directions intelligently, to use the library, and, most important of all, to think for ourselves.
