Miss MCINNES MR. CAVE MR. CAULKINS MR. YOUNG Administration We have seen the place in which we work, now let us introduce to you the people who are responsible for seeing to it that the work is done. First, we want you to meet the four administrators of our school. Interested in every activity in which the school participates, these conscientious Workers put all their time and effort toward benefiting the students. Each has a special duty in making our large school run smoothly, and these duties have always been performed with the utmost skill and care. Mr. Wesley G. Young is the capable and efficient principal who last year assumed the title role upon the retirement of Mr. Ellis. Friendly and understanding, Mr. Young has handled this position with utmost skill. Miss Alice Mclnnes and Mr. I. C. Cave, vice-principal and dean of girls, and dean of boys respectively, are the hard working executives Who perform their duties with aptness and ability and are always ready to give their attention to the smallest matter. Mr. Asa Caulkins, jovial registrar, has the job of en- rolling new students and graduating the old ones: a task which has meant many years of hard work and out- standing service.
