W-X Page 1 0 Miss Helene Wilson, Dean of Girls, has always been a source of inspiration and help to Thornton's girls. She has willingly given her 'time and effort in solving their problems, and has worked with them as a friend. Miss Wilson was elected during the past year to the office of President of the Illinois Association of Deans of Women. She has been Thornton's Dean of Girls for fourteen years and is constantly busy as Sponsor of the Girls Club. She is a faculty member of Purple X. As a reward for her untiring effort she has the respect and admiration of every Thornton girl. 7 , l L 5 l Room 108-B is usually the scene of much activ- ity during the course of any regular school day, for it is the office of Mr. O. F. Umbaugh, disci- plinarian and Dean of Boys, head of the English Department, and faculty adviser of KIP and Purple X. The combination of the duties of these positions comprise a full day's work, as Mr. Umbaugh will readily tell you. Years of experience, however, have given him the ability to handle his work efficiently and with a complete understanding of the problems of teen-age boys and girls. As Dean of Boys, he helps to show Thornton's male students the way to a clean-cut and eventful high school life. As disciplinarian, he comes in contact with almost every problem faced by the average American youth, and in most cases is able to do much toward straightening out the trouble. As the close of school draws near, Mr. Um- baugh concludes another year of faithful service and understanding guidance to the students of Thornton. Helene E. Wilson, B.A., M.A. Uni- versity of Wisconsin, Northwestern University, Oxford University. Dean of Girls.
