Bay View High School - Oracle Yearbook (Milwaukee, WI)

The administrative staff at Bay View. working under the principal, is organized with a vice-principal, a dean of girls, and four counselors. The vice-principal su- pervises the work of all new teachers and tries to help them to understand the nec- essary regulations, and to get the feel of the school. lt is his task, too, to check on all absentees, for it is obvious that only if students appear regularly in class is it possible for teachers to give adequate in- struction. It is necessary to check any tendency to malinger, and at the same time to urge no seriously ill student to attempt to keep going at school. Every- one is made to understand both by his class-room teacher and by the vice-prin- cipal that all class work missed by ab- sence must be made up. MR. WILEY, Counselor Chairman Page Twenty-eight Vice-Principal MR. DONDLINGER Each freshman who enters Bay View from the Milwaukee schools has had an opportunity to visit his new high school and has had his program planned care- fully for him. This has been done by his counselor in consultation with him, his eighth grade teacher, and his parents, if they desire to be present. The counselor is the first Bay View teacher to meet him and one of the last to bid him farewell when his four years are over. As soon as he is enrolled, he is sent to a homeroom teacher, who then un- dertakes to help him adiust to a new en- vironment. This teacher plans with him a four-year program, which, of course, is subiect to change as he develops new interests, or the original seleciions seem unwise. Parents understand the entire four-year plan and request changes when they are desired. As far as possible, a student stays for four years with the same counselor and the same homeroom teacher.

Every high school student knows that full information about his scholarship and his extra curricular activity is always on file. He knows that before he is graduated teachers will report on such qualities of character as his cooperation, dependa- bility, leadership, efficiency, and emo- tional control. He knows the record on him will be kept, and much of it will be available on request when he seeks em- ployment or enrolls at an institution of higher learning. But far more important is the feeling brought home to him day by day, semes- ter after semester, in many conferences, that his personality and his accomplish- ments are matters of real concern to counselor and homeroom teacher, that they care about what happens to him. And the graduates who return every year to visit with their counselors and home- room teachers are ample proof that they felt a security grounded in the interest teachers showed in them.
