A MR. H. K. WHITTIER ' Principal ' 'k PRINClPAL'S MESSAGE Not only is the entire world a stage. Each individual life is a stage upon which the indi- vidual himself plays several roles. The very nature of human life demands it. A great per- sonality is made possible by the teamwork of his many selves. By the time you are in high school, you have already played several parts upon the stage of your life. The scenery revolved rapid- ly from the nursery into all of the places in which you iind yourself today. You have taken simultaneously the roles of daughter or son, of brother or sister, and of playmate. You have been the student seeking knowledge and under- standing, or learning skills. Probably you have played the role of the teacher, too, for who has not taught Little Brother to play baseball? But even now you are preparing for future roles, as the actor reads his plays and studies everything that will help him to bring meaning into the reading of his parts. Already you are preparing to play the parts that succeeding seasons may bring to your stage. You may have to be ready to play collegian, breadwinner, parent, soldier, or one of many professions. Most of these roles have existed for a long time before any of us were born. Most of them will continue to exist after we have played them and others have taken our places. We can play them so colorlessly that they make no contribution to the colorful, interweaving pat- tern of human activity. Or by our study of the roles we can bring to them a new signifi- cance that will live after us, as a great actor can bring meaningfulness to the role he plays beyond even the playwright's intent.

FACULTY l i, . FACULTY CHANGES As the years pass, new faces come to replace those who ,find it necessary to pursue their profes- sions on other stages. When Lieutenant Lewis Lloyd answered Uncle Sam's cail to duty, Richard Trepanier stepped behind the vacated desk to assume the duties of chemistry teacher, coach of the Girls' Pep Club, and senior ad- viser. A When Miss Maureen Scovell trod the matrimon- ialpath, Miss Gertrude Mayes succeeded her in the English department. , A position on the staff of a large Cleveland news- paper enticed Walter Notman from his duties at Streator High, thus making way for Arthur Ritcher as teacher of biology. Benjamin Westlake accepted a place on the teaching staff of Riverside-Brookfield Township High School, Riverside, Illinois, thereby creating an opening which has been successfully filled by Robert Sebastian. A year's leave of absence was granted to John Raglan in order that he might teach in the commer- cial department of Normal University. Harry Campion now teaches shorthand and typewriting. Another change occurred in the history depart- ment with Lorence Stout assuming the duties of George Evans as track coach and health director. The forced resignation of Louis Fincham be- cause of illness necessitated changes in the Indus- trial Arts department. Byron Snow, formerly of woodshop, now acts as drawing instructor with Don Miller capably replacing him in the wood-shop. Mr. Miller is also active as an athletic coach. In January Miss Margaret Tkach, one of our ofiice secretaries for a number of years, became Mrs. John Burnes. She was succeeded by Miss Patricia Hagerty, a graduate of the class of 1941.
