:beckett fion Arden C. Walker has been well known in the Washington Township School system as Director of Guidance. He is a licensed state psychologist, with his work being of the utmost importance. His central theater of oper- ations is Whitmer High School, but it has extended to all of Washington Township Schools. To enumerate all the services Mr. Walker does for the Township would be impossible, but the most important are: to administer,score, and inter- pret psychological tests, to maintain cumulative records of the problems and vital statistics of the students, and to discover and treat cases ofmental maladjustment. A large part of his work must go unpublicized because of its confidential nature. Besides his many activities, Mr. Walker's busy schedule includes his role of Senior Class Advisor this year. He is a friend of all and helper of many. He well deserves all the praise which is accorded to him. ln February, Mr. Walker was appointed Principal of Whitmer High School to succeed Elmer P. Marks who resigned to complete graduate work at the University of Toledo. ln his new position, Mr. Walker has even greater opportunity to serve the community he has known and served for several years. His students and faculty associates wish him well. This Oracle is dedicated to him. -The Staff

ELMER MARKS Retiring Principal of Whitmer High School Education is that factor of the mind, body and soul that enables you to live in the great heritages of the past, to build upon the great ambitions of the present and to complete the beautiful structure upon the ideologies of the future. This everyone can accomplish by listening to the man who knows and by never laugh- ing at new ideas although realizing that popular notions are al- ways wrong. Yet, through his emotions, feelings, and ambitions, he is able to feel his way and fit himself into the ideas of the future and through it all maintain the highest natural level of happiness, usefulness and good to all mankind.
