MEDICINE MAN Mr. Packin is an excellent example of the self discipline he teaches. He believes everything is possible; this is reflected in his motto, Try.” He upholds fairness in work and play and he has strived to make our school one to be admired. We understand the difficulties which confront a vice-principal. It is not always an easy task to offer criticism or impose a punishment, but we arc aware that there is sometimes a need for this type of supervision. We are grateful to Mr. Packin for the fine principles he has upheld. We know that he is interested, above all, in preparing us to become responsible citizens. MR. BERNARD PACKIN Vice Principal INJUN GUIDE During our years at Wayne, Mrs. Benson has always received us with a friendly smile and a sincere word of advice. We have looked to her for solutions to our academic, vocational and social problems. She has been a sympathetic listener whose advice has been both encouraging and profitable. We wish to thank Mrs. Benson for the personal interest and help she has given. MRS. ELIZABETH BENSON Guidance Director

MR. JOHN VAN DYKEN Principal Several years ago Mr. Van Dyken, along with other foresighted citizens, recognized the overcrowded conditions which were to prevail in our school. At that time he began formulating mental blueprints for a new high school. He then submitted his ideas to the Board of Education and the community for their consideration and approval. A dream became a reality last fall when our chief led the tribe to the new tepee. Soon afterward, in view of Dr. Woolf's new position, Mr. Van Dyken was appointed Acting Superintendent of Schools. Because wc have had fewer occasions to chat with you this year, Mr. Van Dyken, we wish to take this opportunity to thank you for our beautiful new building. But most of all we wish to express our gratitude for the personal consideration you have given each member of our class. You have always made us feel that no matter how small was a problem, you could always find time in your already overcrowded day to see any student who wished to talk with you. This is truly what a principal should be. 6
