MR. LESLIE TUCKER In mis world of many changes it was good to know that a familiar face would greet us from the principal's office. Friendly, just, and kind, MR. LESLIE TUCKER has inconspicuously continued to mold our curriculum and activities into a satisfying whole. To talk with him in his office or to see him stride down the halls makes us proud to salute him as our principal. Everyone, it seems, steps into the office at least once a day, and there MRS. ELOISE LEVIS cheerfully answers a multitude of questions and performs her numerous duties with efficient dis- patch. Typing tests for teachers, whirling the mimeograph machine, taking telephone mcs- sages, helping with Curriculums are just a few of the countless demands on her time. We leave the office reassured that school is really a friend- ly place in which to work. 11 Page 7

O O 0 MR. WILLIAM FLOYD The era of PEACE coincided with the begin- ning of a new chapter in the history of the West Lafayette school system. MR. WILLIAAM FLOYD, an old friend of the CLASS of 1946, became Superintendent of Schools. We had traveled with lVIr. Floyd for several years pre- viously and were not surprised that his efficient administration had won for him this high honor. He has done much to make us alert to the oppor- tunities of a new world, and we are indebted to him for a hroadening outlook toward multiple fields of endeavor. BOARD OF EDUCATION Although we have had no personal acquaint- ance with the SCHOOL BOARD, we of the CLASS of 1946 have felt the security which comes with the hacking of a group of three men who keep our hest interests in mind. The proh- lems of a new age concern the schools greatly, and we owe, to a great extent, our high rating to the following: Fred B. Comingore, Presi- dent: Karl H. Kettelhut, Secretary, Burr N. Prentice, Treasurer. Page 6

Zwlitfb Four years of English being required for grad- uation in our high school, we spend much time in the west end, first floor of the building, lcarn- ing to read, write, spell, speak under the direc- tion of MISS RUTH SINKS and MRS. HAR- HIETT MUELLER, or as sophomores under MR. HOWARD EVANS. The English language and comprehension of the written word take new significance in an age when the United Nations struggle for understanding of one another in order to create and maintain PEACE and l'ROSPERl'l'Y for the world of tomorrow. :ws l'ug1v H
