MR. ANDERSON ond MR. CURTIS Administration Dr. G. Lester Anderson's five years as director at University High School have been difficult ones, helping the students enter a world at war. Now his job is still difficult, but more pleasant, as he prepares students for a future in a peaceful world. His aid and understanding will be invaluable in the decisive years ahead. Though a native of Nebraska. Dr. Anderson received his M.A. degree at the Colorado State College of Education, and his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. Next year he will be teaching here at the University in the College of Education. This will be a great loss, for his closeness to the students and his interest in all their problems has made him an important part of University High School. University High School was happy to have Mr. James L. Curtis return this year as Assistant Director after serving three years in the U. S. Navy. Before he left he occupied the same position, and was a favorite with the students because he was so much a part of them. He has a real understanding of U. High's problems, for he has been here as both a student and a teacher. This is Miss Nygaard’s first year at University High School, but she has proved equal to the many problems the girls have brought to her as their advisor. She has also found time to be State President of the English section of the M.E.A. Mr. Walter Johnson returned from the U. S. Navy to fill his old position of Personnel Director. His place was formerly occupied by Mr. Clayton Gjerde. who is now Personnel Director at the University of Chicago. It is fortunate to have in so important a position a man like Mr. Johnson, who is familiar with University High School’s problems, and is interested in the individual student. The school nurse. Miss Vavra, has stood by in sickness and in health. She has taken care of students' illness, and seen them through the terrors of Health Service. Mrs. Wood and Miss Nyquist are indispensable to University High School. In addition to the general office work, they take care of the countless small things about a school that go unnoticed unless they are left undone. Already taking charge in Mr. Curtis' place is Mr. R. Iverson who has recently been discharged from the Army. STANDING: Mi»» Nygaard, Mr. W. Johnson, Mm V »ro. SITTING: Mrs. Wood. Mm Nyquist. 6
