Mr. Hendershot has been at Whitmer for five years, teaching chemistry and physics four years and acting as dean of boys one year. He received his M.A. degree in Education from the University of Toledo in June, 1956. Previous to this achievement, he received a B.S. degree from Alma College and a B.S. degree in Education from Ohio State University. Among his many favorite activities are the sports of fishing and hunting. Besides the committee work similar to that performed by Mrs. Schlegel, Mr. Hendershot spends his day patiently counseling students, organizing the testing program, and offering information for college-bound and iob-seek- ing seniors. We salute Mr. Hendershot for his contribu- tions to our welfare. 1 Z -, .1 555. i i One of the Whitmer students' most under- standing friends is Mrs. Irma Schlegel, the dean of girls. She has been here for twenty- seven years and with each passing year her popularity and friendship increases among the students. During the years she has been here, she has taught civics combined with the position of dean of girls. This year she is full- time dean because of the increasing num- ber of students and faculty members. Mrs. Schlegel has a B.S. degree in Educa- tion from the University of Toledo. Her favor- ite pastime is work and bowling. Together with Mr. Hendershot she is an advisor to the Student Council and serves on the grading and promotional and executive committees. Her influence will continue to be felt by the students long after they graduate from Whit- mer. 51 llul.u'sl i -. ' - . if L X' in ef- E. Q' X Y l l5 .xx uusmmn-.uv vs-1.f..4.t,.

You are typically Whitmer, through and through, working together as a team, generating enthusiasm among the students, among the faculty, and among the community for your publication, the i956 Oracle. We at Whitmer have had a great year together, working to achieve character, industry, kindness, and truth. Keep in mind that the building of moral, spiritual character is a mat- ter of sowing good seeds and then reaping a harvest ac- cordingly. This world of ours is a busy one, demanding the best of everyone in war or peace. Some of you will leave our Whit- mer family this year. Whatever you do or wherever you go -remember-keep your thoughts collected, keep yourself physically and mentally healthy, and above all keep your feet on the ground. Again, I would like to congratulate the staff for their fine yearbook. Very truly yours, Harvey J. Davis I4 Principal of Whitmer, Harvey Davis
