Ketcham attending to the multifarious duties of the biggest job in our school. Students often notice that the principal has slipped quietly into classrooms to watch.

Vtfithout ostenta- tious show he quietly keeps all parts of the school in pleasant harmony. For twenty-seven years Mr. Ketcham has watched and guided the development of this ever growing high school. Assistant Principal H. I. Hunt has ably assisted in directing the affairs of the office. He is perhaps best known among the students as a dispenser of permits to enter classes. Besides his office duties, Mr. Hunt conducts mathe- matics classes and sponsors the Pep club. Assistant Principal H. l. HUNT 16

Another teat ot the second semester statt was the editing of a six-page Easter edition. Much extra work was necessary to make this a success. The guiding genius ot the Konah is Miss lone Lake. For several years she has consistently held the Konah at a prize-winning standard. Any student who takes journalism is automatically put on the staff and given a job ot doing anything from writing sports to interviewing new students.

MISS COPELAND MISS LILL MISS GEIGER MISS ROBSON Protector of the weaker sex is the position of Miss Neva Copeland, Dean of Girls. Her most important job is advising high school girls through their un- certain teens. As one of the directors of the Girls' club, Miss Copeland has sponsored many worthwhile activities, making this largest organization in school indispensable. In her spare time she teaches English and assists in the office. Miss Genevieve Lill has been added this year as the school nurse, While not a regular sawbones she gives various tests and watches over the general health of her little school family of ISOO. Familiar to all of us who frequent the library is the figure of Miss Kathryn Geiger, head librarian, who is always willing to help the bewildered student. Besides directing her staff of helpers, Miss Geiger maintains quiet in the li- brary. Miss Helen Robson, one of the best known faculty members, helps teach- ers with clerical work and gives of her artistic ability in the arranging of pro' grams, etc., for various organizations. She takes care of the office detail. THE FACULTY A careful study of M. H. S. faculty would uncover a wide variety of dra- matic and intensely real, life stories, stories of men and women who lace the trials of educating others with sincerity and understanding. A companion- able group, they know how sane it is to laugh a little now and then. At fac- ulty meetings they convene en masse to decide the fate of one and all. No student ever knows what goes on behind those closed doors, but the next day in school some new rule is obviously enforced, and our orderly education con- tinues. 17
