MR. CARL HAMMER Our principal, Mr. Carl Hammer, is a friend and adviser to everyone and es¬ pecially to us seniors. It is to him that we go to find our class standing, to check on our credits, to find ever ready sug¬ gestions for our activity plans. His These are the morning announce¬ ments sounds a cheerful note over the public address system every day. The request is made frequently by us to go to the office to see Mr. Hammer, for he listens attentively to our problems and solves them to our satisfaction. Mrs. Marcine Kintz, the Answer Woman of West Side High, is always on hand in the office to tell us everything from where someone is 6th hour to why our report cards haven ' t come. She relieves Mr. Hammer of much of the routine office work.
