LOYAL LEADERS GUIDE GROWTH OF TRADITION Mr. McKean earned his BA. at Milton Col- lege, his M..-X. at the University of VVisconsin and . later attended Chicago and Minnesota Uni- versities. He began his career as principal the year preceding his college graduation and was principal at l,aValle and Loyal, Wlisconsin before the VVorld VVar when he relinquished his job to serve a year in the navy. From Neillsville he came to Tomah where he has served for 20 years. During that time the school building has been im- proved twice, in 1933 and in 1939. To the students, whose number has increased from 355 to 575 since 1922, there are certain traditions linked with HE. Jfsn name. No one can be sure whether he rattles keys or whether there could possibly be two pennies in his pocket. His habit ofrubbing his cheek is comparable to the scratching of the head of other thinkers. Mr. Nlcliean is a prominent member of state, county, and community education and welfare activities. He was president of the YYisconsin Education Association and the State Forensic Board. rv, hIC.'kDAMS F. MCKEAN bliss Mary lNIc.-Xdams, social problems teacher and senior class adviser, became principal of the high school in 1931. She came from the University of Wlisconsin to Tomah in 1923 and has taught in the social science department ever since with the exception of one year when she took a leave of absence. She received her MA. degree from Marquette University in 1941. Of her traits, tact, decisiveness, and common-sense surpass all others. Her students would be surprised to see her in the summer, daubed with printer's ink, substituting as editor of her home town paper, The Muk- wanago Chief. The Board of Education consists of five very able and con- scientious members. liach has children either in grade or high school. President of the board is Frank Drew who is assisted by Dr. T. Sheehy, Archie Chapman, Dr. Howard Syverson, and C. E. Hemsey. Elaine Bollrud is clerk by appointment. Luft la Right: Nlr. Drew, Dr. Sheehy, Dr. Syverson, Nlr. Hemsey, hflr. Chapman 12
