OFFICE GROUP Left in riahi: Nlr. Shaupell. Miss Keafer. Nlr. Acklcv, Miss Flaah. OUR ADMINISTRATORS September 8, 1936 Dear Diary, M1'. Shappell, our new principal, was introduced to the student body to-day in the first assembly of the year. After hearing Mr. Shap- pell speak, I feel sure I shall enjoy my senior year in high schoolg that is, ii' I follow the advice he set forth in his opening speech. Here are a few notes taken from that talk: Happiness and success in school depend on preparednessf' I guess he believes in that good old stand-by, night work. t'School spirit is developed when the ma- jority ofthe students become actively interested in doing things in common. Assembly cheer- ing and singing, for example. You should be able to say at the end of the year that your school has been a better place because you have been a student there. Following these suggestions of Mr. Shappell will help. School is more than a place to study and recite, more than an experiment with assigned problemsg it is a place to live the actual experi- ences of life itselffl I like this theory of edu- cation. All that the new principal said seems to me to be good advice for all of us to follow during the coming year. Iill try my best! MR' CLARENCE SHAPPELL Principal 4

GUIDIN6 INFLUENCES September 8, 1936 Dear Diary, To-day I met the two new faculty members elected by the School Board. Everyone knows Miss Frances Tarr, a very lively and attractive alumna of Westmont. In addition to teaching sophomore and junior English, she will be the adviser for the Yodler. Mr. Millard P. Robin- son, a tall, handsome newcomer of athletic figure, will teach the freshmen civics, health and gym'l. He will spend his after-school hours as assistant coach. I believe the Board MR' W'LLARD ACKLEY was wise in its selection of new teachers. November 5, 1936 The Board has approved the purchase of a new 1500 watt Kleiglight Spot- light for the auditorium. It will be used in plays, concerts, or any major dra- matic activity given in the auditorium. The Board has promised to push the order through in time to get the light here for our senior play. March 1 2, 1 937 I was rather surprised to see so many members of the School Board at our carnival to-night. You know, diary, secretly I have always stood in awe of the School Board members, for they seem to me so formal and sophisticated. To- night my whole idea was changed, for they were friendly and appeared to be hav- ing as good a time as we students at the carnival. I know now that they are really very human and sympathetic with our school activities. BOARD OF EDUCATION Left to right: Mr. Freeman F. Fullerton. Mr. James B. Hershberger. Mr. Foster H. Berkebile.
