Striving for a Better School Of all the people in Community Unit District Number 205, perhaps the students of Warren High School owt their greatest debt to these seven men. At least once, often several times, a month, this governing body meets with the maintenance of our school system and its success as an institute of education foremost in mind. This year, for example, they were responsible for the erection of new fire escapes in Warren and Nora, for the purchase of new playground equipment, and for a school parking area. In order to comply with the demands of our ever expanding enrollment, the board is attempting to buy one or two lots adjoin- ing the school property and also to install a hot lunch program for the noon students. To each member, who gives so much of his time and consideration to the betterment of Warren High School, goes a sincere '•Thank-you. Superintendent, principal, teacher and advisor, Mr. Albert J. Tucker commands the respect of both teachers and students in all four positions. Under his leadership, a competent faculty provides students at Warren with the best available education. Mr. Tucker's own chemistry class is an ideal example of his high teaching standards, for though it is one of our most difficult courses, it is also one of our most awarding. As class advisor, Mr. Tucker helped seniors plan their play, trip, and finally graduation. His guidance has been responsible for much of the increasing excellence of our school system. 7

Our Indispensable Experts Dependable: That's everyone's word for our secretary, Mrs. Mar- garet Sargent. Margaret has an answer for every question, a solution for every problem, and a smile for punctuation. She keeps track of all supplies, does the bookkeeping for the district, is in charge of the entire book rental system, brings us our mail, and will always stop whatever she's doing to help us type a mas- tercopy, run the mimeograph, use the paper-cutter, or make a stencil. In short, Margaret is truly a secretary's secretary. Along with all the jobs regularly assigned to jani- tors, Joe Stagner and Leonard Hodgson are always on hand for a host of others. Such things as mak- ing steps for the Stork Club and making signs for the school election are all in a days work for Joe and Lennie. Certainly they are well worthy of the high esteem in which they are held by both students and faculty. like the custodians, the responsibilities of our bus drivers go far beyond those of their daily routes. Without them, cheering sections at games would be practically impossible; band participation in parades and contests would cease to exist; and GAA bowling could never have become a reality. Because of the men and women, students in Warren High School are assured safe transportation any place, any time of the year. 6

Raymond Lipovac Asst. Principal Dept: math and science Loren Ingram Dept: history, math and science James McKeon Dept: industrial arts and science The men and women on these pages, though their exact contributions vary, are alike in that they have each furnished the students of Warren High School with an invaluable gift--a foundation for the future. With some, this gift has been one of appreciation, perhaps of music, history, or litera- ture. With others it is a knowledge of crafts, an ability to earn a living or to run a home. We have been offered an understanding of science and a comprehension of figures. We have been shown the way to fitness of both mind and body. We have never been forced, only attracted, and the bene- fits of our teachers are always available. David Coss Dept: English 8 Marvin Wolber Dept: commercial
