MR. E. H. DUSTIN Assistant Principal Mr. Dustin, our assistant principal, is a well-known personality in the halls of our Alma Mater. His ready guidance helped us to plan and complete suc- cessfully our high school careers. MR. D. W. FOWLER Principal Mr. Fowler, our principal, is a man of wide ex- perience as an instructor and administrator. This experience has enabled him to understand more fully both the educational and personal problems of the students. He entrusts to the departmental heads a great deal of supervisory work and visits classrooms as often as possible to become better acquainted with the student-teacher relationships. MISS CUNNINGHAM Director of Vocational Guidance To the upperclassmen. Miss Cunningham is indi- spensable.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The English Department strives to achieve two major objectives. The first of these is the mastery of fundamentals, including the ability to read with maximum speed and comprehension, and the ability to express oneself effectively in oral and written conposition. The second major aim is to develop, through reading and discussion of literature, individuals with a greater social con- science, and with the capacity for enjoyment and appreciation of the cultural aspects of life. FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT There is a growing need for linguists in this country. The Spanish and French courses, there- fore. have as their primary objectives, the de- velopment of a student’s capacity to read, write, speak, and understand these. The Latin language is an important study, not only for a greater appreciation of its relationship to the development of our own language, but also to learn more about the historical, cultural, and political contributions to our own society. HISTORY DEPARTMENT Realizing that the greatest need of present day America is an in- formed and responsible citizenry, the Social Studies classes seek to provide both the necessary informa- tional background and the oppor- tunities for experiences in citizen- ship activities. 9
