MR. Homf:RT THOMAS MR. ROBERT KRYTER MII. VVINFIELD Woon MRS. ALICE BLIND Ever notice how clean thc school is? Don't thank me. Iim a very poor housekeeper so the administration supplied me with a crew of very efficient helpers. Believe me, our three custodians Mr. Wagner, Mrs. Scott, and Mr. Miller, have a job on their hands keeping the school shipshape, and they're certainly death on dirt. BRAINS. BEAUTY. BRAWN Of course it isn't the faculty only that keeps the school ticking. Did you ever hear of an iron board? Thatls what the school board is. They hold the iron hand of control over my school. My advice is called for sometimes but I let them run things mostly by their own judgment. Which reminds me, I was coming back from board meeting the other day when I fell down so hard I thought I had split a hoof. I hurried to the school nurse, Mrs. Beth Blind, who Hxed it in a jiffy. MRS. BETII BLIND MR. ALBEIIT WAGNEIX MRS. EVA SCOTT MR. HARRY INIILLER Q?

chool Spirit Helped Win These All the people we just talked about had jobs to do around the school and I suppose you wonder what there is left for me to do. Being spirit of the school isnit hard work and it certainly isnit tedious. In case you donit understand, let me try to explain. I'm that spark that makes my teams fight just a little bit harder in a pinch, that certain something that makes the kids yell louder at the games or whenever Speedway is mentioned. See that swell display of athletic trophies over there? You all know how those were won. Through my boys, athletic skill! Hard Work, training, self-denial, and good coaching are behind every one of those awards and I like to think that school spirit is a factor, too. Old Sparkie is the one that makes you swell with pride when you look at the buildings of the school or say 'Tin from Speedwayv in that special tone of voice. Youill all remember these things when youive been away from school a long time and that means youill remember me. live been the spirit of the school a long time and I've loved every minute of it.
