Uilehmdl Qt JHZQ Everv student looked forward to the op ning of school this year fo1 during the summer the finishing touches had been made on the new addi tion Of special interest was the beautiful new auditorium with its spa cious, well equipped stage where not only school but many community frojects have held forth. During the year several of the rooms in the new building, which the school board planned have proven to be of spe cial value. They are the public speaking band home economics and sci ence lecture rooms Behind the scenes of any big worthwh1'e proicct we find those who are responsible directly for much of its success or failure. Members of this group give unselfishly of both time and energy and in return are given little credit and much criticism. In the case of the school this group is the school board This year the school and community loses a faithful and hard work- ing servant. Randall Tuttle, who has served unselfishly on the board for the past fourteen years, resigned. The last three years, Mr. Tuttle has very cap-ably served as president of the board. He gave much of his time even during the busy season of his own business to see first that everything in and about the school was in the best possible condition. The SPENCERIAN staff joins with the school and community in paying trib- ute to Mr. Tuttle for his years of service. John Cory Jr., was made the new president- of the board while the vacancy in the board was filled by Dale Norton. We feel sure that these men in their new positions will keep Spencer high the great school that it is. page 7

MR. KNUDSEN, MISS WARNER MISS WILLIAMS, MR. SEYMOUR MISS MEYER, MR. FES1' MISS MCMILLAN, MR. NELSON MISS COLBURN, MR. RECKSEEN MISS VAN VVINKLE page S Ugunlauinq the Ujecilaqocbtuea Concerning circles and rectangles Harold J. Booth could certainly give you all the angles, be- cause through geometry he taught the language of size and shape. However, he didn't confine himself to mathematics, for he was freshman boys' athletic coach, as well as Senior Class and Hi-Y sponsor. Miss Maxine Van Winkle kept the freshmen minding their Ps and Q's not- to mention their x's and y's. She was also assistant annual ad- visor and helped publish this year's SPENCER- IAN. Thorrel B. Fest one of our busiest and wit- tiest pedagogues found his science classes didn't keep him busy enough, so he directed the Senior Class Play, acted as boys' advisor, sponsored the Science club, and coached several speech activi- ties. Through the diligent and efficient work of J. W. Knudsen, and his staff, Spencer high's an- nual year book, the SPENCERIAN was made possible. Mr. Knudsen taught the freshman gen- eral science classes with a zest and his swing band showed the results of very able directing. The G. A. A. found a new up and com- ing sponsor in Miss Helen Meyer who taught girls' physical education and biology. Spencer high's success On the field and on the floor was due to Coach Irvin Nelson. Through him t-he boys learn how to play the game in life as well as in sports. Who was that economics teacher, that co- sponsor of the Junior Class, that leader of the peace groups with the sparkling sense of humor? Of course, it was C. Lester White. The Lady of the Maps was Miss Dora Jen- sen who taught history. Miss Jensen directed the political meeting for the World's Greatest County Carnival and was Student Council Spon- sor. At mid-year those lucky freshmen were taught their English by Mrs. Myrtle Smith who had poet-ry and poster exhibits and directed a freshman class play. Culture was taught the sophomores through their grammar and literature course by the charming Miss Ruth Crouse, who directed the sophomore play and has been for some time spon- sor of the Girl Reserves.
