Our Administrators and Counselor Vice Principal Dr. James Snell and Dean of Women Mrs. Helen Hoeksema How would like the responsibility of mak- ing out over 1800 program cards a year? Dr. Snell; our vice-principal, must not only make out a program for everyone in the sc hool, but he must also make any necessary changes. By late October, he had already made over 600 such changes. Dr. Snell’s other duties include acting as head counselor for the Men’s Board of Con- trol and doling out any disciplinary measures that he deems necessary. He says he sees about 20 or 30 boys each day. After spending several years at Encinal High School, he finally “earned his wings” and was promoted to the GREAT Alameda High! “Hey, lookie here, my picture!” ‘This is a common cry of many Alameda High School students when passing the office of Mrs. Helen Hoeksema, girls’ vice-princi- pal. Among her numerous student interests, Mrs. Hoeksema exhibits student photo- graphs. Because students like to see photo- graphs of themselves, Mrs. Hoeksema obtains these from the Times-Star newspaper. As girls’ adviser, Mrs. Hoeksema is in charge of the Woman’s Board of Control, Girls Association, and Courtesy Board. Aside from her busy schedule, she enjoys boating and playing the organ. Receiving her B.A. at Parsons College, Iowa, Mrs. Hoeksema went on to get her M.A. from Mills College in 1942. Ever since then, our school has been fortunate to have Mrs. Hoeksema in our administration. Mr. Robert Bartley, head counselor, smiling at his desk.
