Wittenberg College, University of Chicago. Head of English Department, Dean of Boys. Now more than ever students recognize the need for a cultural background for living. Students at Thornton derive some of this, ' tis true, from books ; but the greater part is from their associates in learn- ing, the teachers. Few realize what a tremendous job is placed on the shoulder of faculty members! Their work extends much farther than the classroom. Through daily contact with them students benefit in all phases of life. By them the younger members of the school are shown patience, tolerance for another ' s views, and steadfast effort to help in any way possible. Helene E. Wilson, B.A., M.A. University of Wisconsin, Northwestern University. Oxford University. English. Dean of Girls.

Class of 1944 Two of these members, perhaps more closely in touch with the students than the others, are the deans, Miss Helene Wilson and Mr. O. Fred Umbaugh. To them are brought many personal problems of the individual student. The under- standing guidance given each re- quest is an intangible addition to the student ' s quest for learning. Be- sides being personal advisers, the deans expertly manage the affairs of the Girls and Boy ' s Clubs. In addition to the deans there are class principals. To these faculty members is assigned the task of being personal guide to each student in his high school journey. By a rotating system, Mr. J. B. Stephens, Mr. J. F. Zimmerman, and Mr. J. D. Mees, each has charge of a class from its sophomore year through its last year at Thornton. This system enables the principal to become well acquainted with the boys and girls of his class and to aid them in their problems. To Dr. C. R. Maddox falls the job of getting the fresh- man class in line for its sophomore year. He makes each newcomer feel at home in Thornton and ready for the ensuing terms under a new principal. These four men also keep extensive records of the work, play, and conduct of the pupils. This enables a would-be employer to obtain an understanding of the student ' s per- sonality as well as of his scholastic ability. These reports are a composite of the reports made by the classroom teachers. Along with all the other fond memories of Thornton, the graduate recalls the kindness and willingness with which the fac- ulty rendered each service asked of it. Under the influence of their guidance he hopes to become the type of citizen they would have him to be. e£ty T ??™, Pis ,, Clifford R.
