Bohn, our principal, whose infallibly good judgment, efficient direction, and wise understanding have endeared him to students and staff members. Under trying conditions, Mr. Bohn and the faculty have done a marvelous job. We wish we had the space to record all of the many fine services that were performed.

During the first semester we were fortunate in having the help of Mrs. Morey Gross as home visitor. MRS. NAOMI ADKINS Grade 3; A.C.E. Rep., Sophomore Sponsor. MRS.
