0 R DIRECTOR Dr. Ben Curran, Principal, Mr. Peter Londahl, Vice Principal Ben O. Curran was born in Hopkins, Missouri. At an early age he moved to Idaho, however, when he was a senior in high school, the Currans moved to Aberdeen where young Ben enrolled at Weatherwux High School. He lettered in both basketball and baseball here and was graduated in l9l9. During the summer of l9l9, Mr. Curran worked in the woods peeling bark from trees to earn money for college. That fall he enrolled at the University of Washington where he studied for one year. After a year's employment, he entered Washington State College where he was graduated in 1924 with a Bach- elor of Arts Degree. He received his Master's De- gree from Stanford University in 'I949 and Phi Beta Kappa membership. Mr. Curran began his teaching career at Othello, Washington. In 1929 he returned to Aberdeen to teach at Weatherwax. As the principal of our high school, Mr. Curran holds an important position with many burdensome responsibilities-among 'them around l,000 students, twice as many parents, 48 teachers, the school board, and many other citizens of our community. Mr. Curran feels that students are people, too, and should be treated as such. Ably assisting the principal is our vice principal, Mr. Londahl. While space limitations require brevity, we recognize that his responsibilities are numerous and heavy. As the Director of Counselling at Wea- therwax, Mr. Londahl works with administrators, counsellors, teachers, students, and parents to solve o thousand different problems. We sincerely appre- ciate his understanding, intelligent leadership. School Board 'SU -3' , .......,o..v . ff--sf.v.f, 4- eb?

G0 ERNMENT Eddie Smith Student Body President Student Body President's Message The school year started with a much more ac- tive Senate supporting previous decisions and mak- ing new proposals. The Senate approved a United Fund drive, in which the three classes conducted a contest to raise money--the losing class to pre- sent an assembly. The sum of money earned by the three classes was divided among various or- ganizations, such as the American Field Service, March of Dimes, etc. The Senate is composed of the Student Body President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, four boy and girl senators from each class, the class presidents, Boys' Federation President, Coun- cil of Girls President, leaders of various school organizations, and the Yell King. The Board of Control assisted with student government. Meet- ings were held on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, at which members discussed and took action on school problems. Student Body assemblies were well organized and entertaining. A very active Pep Club stimu- lated enthusiasm during assemblies and sporting events with pep banners, posters, and booster but- tons. This year the Pep Club did a fine job of organizing a card section. The President appointed a Hall Traffic Com- mittee, which studied hall conditions and sug- gested possible solutions. The Council of Girls, Boys' Federation, Girls' Athletic Association, and many other organizations deserve recognition for their efforts to make this school year successful. As Student Body President, l would like to thank the members of the Board of Control, the Senate, the faculty, and the students for their interest and support in supporting school affairs. Page
