I 1 Mr. Tobey The outstanding characteristic of Mr. Tobey is his devotion to children. Because of his state-wide reputa- tion when he came to Wausau, much was expected from him as superintendent, and even more than was hoped for f . He possessed, however, many exceptional qualities which had not been forseen: Mr. Tobey has accomplished. I' An unusual spirit of helpfulness-all good causes. great and small, received his personal attention with utter forgetfulness of self. ' Vision and constructive imagination-an ability to foresee with clearnessiand certainty. what the children of Wausau will need. X Courage-a readiness to fight for what he believes right without thought of how his stand may affect his own contract. ' Persistence--some call it 'stubbornness-but whatever the correct name of the quality, it has accomplished much for the children of Wausau: for it has always been exercised in their behalf-never for a selfish purpose: and when Mr. Tobey's persistence finally overcomes doubts and wears out opposition, it turns out that his vision has been right. All too frequently one who works only for others receives little recognition for himself, but in this school year many honors richly earned, and some long overdue, have come with delightful spontaneity and generousness to one whom all have long held in high esteem and for whom those who have had the privilege of knowing him best, have felt a genuine affection. --C HARLES COOLIDGE PARLIN Twenty-Two ., .4

VVilli.im Maxwell Ray Burton Cassandra Thrasher Arthur Krause 1-. Q ,. Commerce This department has a two-fold aim. First. a careful academic prepara- tion of the student in English, history, science, and mathematics is required so that the student may answer every requirement of the state department. Second, the commercial student is given a thorough training in the technical subjects of shorthand, bookkeeping, typewriting, use of ollice appliances, and oflice training. There are two courses open to the student: accounting and stenography. From these two courses come the future leaders of Wausau's industrial and commercial growth. This is an era of business, and business men are turning to the high school commercial graduates to carry on the work they have started. Consequently, we lind our graduates occupying positions of im- portance with the leading manufacturing, banking, legal. sales, and service firms of the city and community. There is an ever increasing demand for our graduates, and it seems reason- able to expect that this demand will continue to grow as long as the quality' of the young men and women graduating from this course continues to improve.
