AID TIQATIU Dr. Homer W. Hay Superintendent of Somerset Public S Mr. William E. Griffith Principal of Somerset Hi Our supervising principal, Dr. Hom- er W. Hay, is just the right director for our chorus of eleven hundred strong. Always ready to listen to our songs, Dr. Hay is ready to sympathize with the boys in the Swing Band who are forgetting how to danceg he is just as quick to squelch the plans of am- bitious students for a holiday after the Meyersdale game. His tact and under- standing have done a great deal to make our school life more harmonious, and the touch of his baton seems to bring rhythm and melody where con- fusion and discord existed before. Principal William E. Griffith tem- pers his management of our four-year concert with a keen knowledge of hu- man nature. When a temperamental artist feels that he must be away from the arduous duties of school life for a day or so, it is Mr. Griffith who sets the erring soul in the right tempo again. The seat of honor in front of the office is well-known to all hookey players. Mr. Griffith's algebra classes are as familiar with the chances against beating a one-armed bandit as they are with the binomial theorem. We are sure that his words of advice to us will not go unheeded. gh Scl-no
