CARL HAMMER " These are the morning announcements, " is the greeting to the entire school each morn¬ ing from Mr. Carl Hammer, principal of West Lafayette Senior High School. Mr. Hammer is always very busy perform¬ ing his duties at the school which include computing our senior rankings, checking credits, interviewing students, and writing numerous letters, but he can usually find time for a little pleasant conversation with anyone who happens to drop in the office. Whatever the reason for visiting Mr. Ham¬ mer for any problems, whether they be sched¬ ule mixups, questions about college, personal problems, or what-have-you, you are certain to get a reasonable answer or good advice from our friendly chief executive. Our principal is keenly interested in all the various clubs and activities of the school and keeps up-to-date on the achievements of each one. Enjoying sports very much, he never misses a West Side game at home or away unless it is absolutely impossible to be there. He attends many of the mixers and often drops into the Den to watch the proceedings. He is always very much amused at the stu¬ dents ' reaction to the " Iron Claw. " Yes, all of the students and especially the seniors certainly appreciate this understand¬ ing friend who always works for our best interests. MRS. DOLMA PRESTON " The thing I enjoy most is ringing the fire- bell, " says Mrs. Preston, our efficient secre¬ tary. The obvious reason for this statement is that during a fire drill is the only time there isn ' t at least one student in the office asking questions, buying paper, or just waiting to see Mr. Hammer. She goes on to say that actually she enjoys her work immensely and doesn ' t mind the questions a bit. Mrs. Preston has worked in the high school office for two years now taking care of all correspondence, mimeographing, making out report cards, helping Mr. Hammer ar¬ range schedules, sorting mail, and working always to keep the business of the school running smoothly. The Class of ' 51 has appreciated her help¬ fulness very much during its junior and sen¬ ior years. ADMINISTRATION Page 15
