MR. ENGEL HIS is Mr . Laverne H. Engel's fourth ' the an year at Seneca. After guiding - nexes or two years Mr. Engel is now assist- ing at the main building. His position here is that of assistant principal. ln all these years he has never shown himself to be anything but the kind, good-humored, considerate man he reaw is. r. Engel's deep enthusiasm in both the school and the students in it, is daily reflected by his constant activities. He has confirmed this by his diligent attendance at football games and by the arrangement of countless pep assem- blies to support e team and encourage the sale of tickets for the night games. . Constant student attendance and superior scholastic achievement are Mr. Engel's fondest hopes. He is iust as proud of Seneca when it leads in attendance as when one of our teams comes off the field with a smashing victory. Mr. Engel is friend to both the faculty and the student body. He has won a place in the hearts of all of us and we hope the association between Mr. Engel and Seneca will last for many years to come. 3 MR.
