Dr. Anderson Dr. G. Lester Anderson has been with us at U-High for four years now. In that time, he has made himself known to all of us as a man to look up to and respect. As the director of U-High, he is always ready to praise our accomplishments and is patient and understanding with all of our problems. Our director was born in Nebraska, but he received his graduate education in two different states. He went first to the Colorado State College of Education where he received his Master's Degree. From there he went to the University of Minnesota where he got his Ph.D. Dr. Anderson is one of those helping to plan the new U-High building which will be built after the war. He has many duties as a member of the University faculty. One of them is teaching classes for the College of Education. He is the director of student teaching, and he has charge of all the student teachers we have in our classes each quarter. He has served on many committees on the campus and has edited several books. He is also kept quite busy writing articles and making speeches. However his most important job is in connection with U-High. where he has charge of the U-High staff and students. The fact that he has done his job well is being proved to us every day. Personnel Do you have a problem? Mr. Clayton Gjerde. director of student personnel, is the man to help you. He gives individual consultation to any student who has a problem whether it be educational. social, personal, or vocational. Ever since December 7. 1941. Mr. G|erde has been indispensable to the boys who planned to enter the service. He helps the boys decide which branch of the service offers the best opportunities for their chosen occupation, what the advantages and disadvantages of each are. and any general information which they might need. When a prospective employer, college, or the armed forces ask for a recommendation of you. Mr. Gjerde gives it. The fall entrance examinations are under his supervision, end he has charge of the registration of new students. Mr. Gjerde is also one of the twelfth grade advisers. Mrs. Lois Turner is the girls' Mr. Anthony. Besides aiding them with any problem they might have, she has been particularly helpful in getting new girls adjusted to a different school and students. This year the Senior High Girls' Club has tried to help the girls decide upon a chosen profession. Mrs. Turner, as co-adviser, has arranged for speakers from the various fields to address the girls. Her friendliness would give her A in school spirit. This is reflected in the members of the Pep Club, of which she is adviser. It was with great disappointment that we learned that she was leaving at the end of winter quarter. She went to an excellent position as Dean of Women at the Winona State Teachers College. 6
