l I I I I IQUJOX Illl-I'l'RltIll. l'RlNCll'iXL . .. Since Nlr. Dietrich took the job as principal three years ago. he has shown the same fine qualities of leadership as an f administrator as was exemplified during the years when he was a popular coach and director of athletics. To us. tht- students of Wa-Hi. he is a guiding light . . . a personal advisor to everyone. He corrects us when we are wrong, praises us. and defends us. Hr. Dietrich does more than execute the ordinary duties of a principal. He goes be- yond the point of duty in presenting a program of lively recreation. He is a counselor to the clubs and organizations and sees that they uphold high standards. To those seniors who are about to step into the world Or continue on to college. he gives personal advice and favors. He goes out of his way to help them in vocational placement and in making scholarships available, he doesn't push or pull them but en- courages and inspires. Hr. Dietrich also promoted a program of testing that is helpful to both students and teachers in placing students in tht- proper English courses, and he initiated the mental maturity testing progrant. These activities we have mentioned are but a few of the many things Mr. Dietrich docs which set him far above the average high school principal. Truly, he can he called a steadfast beacon and guiding light to all. As long as Wapato has such administrational leadership. our school will continue to rank high in education, leader- ship, and citizenship, Left to right: Mrs. Lorena Benjamin. Mr. Chester Soley, and Miss Evelyn Shirts. Mrs. Lorena Benjamin, a very cheerful, efficient. and capable person, is serving as secretary to the superintendent. This was her first year as a school secretary, but she previously did secretarial work and accounting at the bank for four years. Mrs. Benjamin, who is assisted by Mrs. Hilda Skone, acts as a receptionist, writes letters, deposits money receipts for the district, and types forms to be submitted to county. state, and federal offices. Miss Evelyn Shirts, who has been secretary to the principal for fourteen years at Wapato, has the duties of recording grades, recording attendance, writing letters, mimeographing the daily bulletins, and making out reports and invitations. Mr. Chester Soley, bookkeeper and accountant for the school district and clerk for the school hoard, could be called the man who knows all the facts. Mr. Soley records school funds, sees that all school employees and outstanding bills are paid each month, sends orders for school supplies, and delivers all purchases for the district. Not shown is George Hansen, Superintendent of buildings and grounds, who is in charge of all custodians and bus drivers.
