OD ee ia Although Mr. Monger has been with us a short period of time we have learned to respect and admire him for his many outstanding personal qualities. He is a truly dedicated educa- tor putting much emphasis on scholarship but demands only of one the best he can do. It has been a pleasant two years that we, as Seniors, have experienced with this friend of education at the helm. He has always been willing to take time and talk with us about our problems and regardless of the seriousness of the problem he has been able to give us words of encouragement and inspire us to set our goals high. He has been an exacting disciplinar- ian but we have been the winners as his strong hand has di- rected us in the right path as we traveled this way towards our adult life. In deep appreciation for his kindness, understanding and inspiration, we, the members of the 1960 HORNET'S NEST, dedicate this book to Mr. Hubert W. Monger, principal.
