R. A. Beck, Principal The Big Three R, A, Beck, principal, heads the entire WHS tac- ulty and student bocy He is the one who sees that everything functions smoothly around schools When- ever a guest on or problem arises, a final decision must come from him, A few of his many iobs are the supervision ot classrooms, study halls, and as- semblies. Besides this he is also in charge of eval- uating grades and planning classroom schedules. Lyman M Fort's job as superintendent ot public schools for Sioux Falls places upon him the task of making many final decisions The last word in selecting teachers for our public schools comes from him, l-le also hands down decisions concern- ing all school problems Approving the courses of- fered in the curriculum and supervising the main- tenance of buildings are other important duties. Lastly, he passes judgment on all problems that arise from the administration. E, W. Skarda is the first assistant superintendent of public schools Sioux Falls has ever had. Although his work consists mainly in assisting Mr, Fort, he spends most of his time handling the problems of the elementary schools of the city, l-le also serves on the building committee of the Board of Educa- tion and assists in districting the schools.

Cffice Staff FRED KOHOUTEK, gen'al senior class adviser, has quite a time playing Daddy to some three hundred thirty-four seniors, He acts as police- man at all the class meetings and is the tem- porary chairman of the class before the president and Other officers are elected in the fall. One of Mr, Kohoutek's biggest contributions to the senior class is securing caps and gowns for the graduation ceremonies Another big headache is the administration of the State Senior Tests. His is the final word on all the senior activities. Because he works so closely with his candidates for graduation, they all know him to be one swell guy, WALLY DIEHL holds the most important posi- tion in the athletic department of WHS. Since he took over the office in l949, he has proven that he is capable of conducting his division with the same proficiency shown by the late Howard Wood. During the basketball season, Wally puts in extra time to handle the coaching duties of the varsity basketball team. His mastery in this position was established when he produced an ESD champion during his first year at the helm. Although it is a difficult task to satisfy the sports interests of nearly 2,000 students, he has still upheld our athletic prestige among the schools throughout the state. D. R. GOLDSMlTH'S job as WHS' vocational guidance director makes him the confidant and adviser of all working students. Goldie, as he is called by his friends, is frequently asked by downtown employers to recommend students who are seeking part-time employment, If they are accepted, he gives them a work permit and in- structions to report to him once a week. lf a stu- dent changes jobs, Mr. Goldsmith must be in- formed about it. By working half days and tak- ing a course called public relations, a student may earn two credits a semester, which often solves the problem of going to school and work- ing at the same time. Surely Mr, Goldsmith is a valuable asset to WHS. f-
