There are quite a few faces seen around Whitmer but none are as familiar as the maintenance men and the cafeteria workers. What would Whitmer do with- out them? Who would keep the halls clean, make repairs, keep the students well fed, and keep the school warm. These people are seen day in and day out, during the whole school year.

ADMINISTRATION May I congratulate Whitmer High School upon its steady growth. New buildings, added teachers, and increased effort show the cooperation of the community. May I congratulate the school again upon its high ideals which are keeping pace with this steady growth. I vision Whitmer as one of the outstanding schools of the state. MR. HAROLD M. RYDER Superintendent of Lucas County To Our Many Friends: I am happy to comply to the annual request from the Oracle Staff to write a brief message for the Oracle. This is being written in .the early fall, but I am already impressed with the promptness and energy with which the Annual group are applying themselves to their task. I predict that you will be reading and seeing the many fine things in the Oracle much earlier than usual. The many hundreds of people who are con- nected with Whitmer, either directly or indirectly, are proud of the school and its achievements. Such agencies as the Oracle are among the fine attributes which serve as reflectors for what such institutions as ours are doing. I want to praise and thank, in advance, the entire Staff and their sponsor, Mr. Rice, for the fine ac- complishments which I am sure will be theirs. With best wishes to all subscribers of our great Yearbook, and with high hopes that you will always continue to be Whitmer boosters, I am Sincerely yours, Earl B. Driver MR. EARL B. DRIVER Superintendent of Washington Township
