45wze1 The Administration Mr. Everest, our energetic principal, is determined that Unionites take part in extrafcurricular activities during their school years. In the picture he is talking with Geraldine Merritt, Gerald Dribbin, Louise Lanski, and Genevieve Kwiatf kowski about plans for the traveling assembly. That student leadership and responsibility should be cultivated by high school students is the belief of Mr. Everest, and it is in this direction that he advises the Student Council, which is the student governing body. It is Mr. Everest, also, who listens to the troubles of all of us, faculty and students alike, and helps us in our difficulties. Miss Blanche Mann, assistant principal, with the aid of Miss Helen Olsen and Miss Violet Eavel, office clerks, has complete charge of the attendance of Union's two thousand, two hundred thirtyftwo high school and one hundred three grade school students. In addition to this work, she is principal of Turner Elementary School and looks after the four hundred twenty children there. At Union Miss Mann is a very busy persong for, besides her numerous other duties, she is the adviser of the Service Squad, which keeps our halls in business' like order, and the supervisor of the N. Y. A. workers, who help the faculty when there are odd jobs to be done. V A-Y1s'N 'TM'w

y a JZGD S'!AXIbUm In this section we present an almost complete collecf tion of pictures of the faculty and students at Union High School. We believe that if you study the photographs of the senior girls you will eventually see a picture of an averf age senior girl, whom we are going to call jean Union' ite. Likewise if you study the faces of the senior boys, you will come to know Jean's friend, Joe Highschool. Among the ninth grade pictures you will hnd Ioe's kid brother, Tommy. jean's younger sister, Barbie, typifies the tenth graders. Joe and Iean's senior friends - more than three hundred and seventy in number -- constitute the largest group that has ever been graduated from Union High School. The pictures of their ninth, tenth, and eleventh grade friends are an innovation, for this is the Hrst time that the entire student body has been pictured in an Aurora. We hope that in the years to come the owners of this book will, as they refturn the pages of our album, revive happy memories of schoolday friendships.
