Mrs. Sue Hutton, Mr. Gus Nash Mr. Earl C. Collins Administrators Influence Student Life Deans are people who listen to your problems, make helpful suggestions (which almost always solve the problems) and measure out discipline when it is needed. Contrary to popular belief, deans are human beings with hearts and feelings. They buy school sweatshirts and spudnuts, and they enjoy basketball games as much as the students do (though their response is more sub- dued). Mrs. Sue Hutton and Mr. Gus Nash are more than just deans; they’re your friends. Definition of two guidance counselors; While one is explaining the SAT and PSAT to a confused college- bound student, the other is efficiently examining each of the 1600 students' folders in order to make school life pleasant and worthwhile for every student. Mrs. Marietta Peters and Mr. John Bills guide our foot- steps into the future. A vice principal has as many jobs and as much respon- sibility as a principal himself. It is the duty of Mr. Earl C. Collins to know where every student is every hour of every school day (he’s in charge of attendance) and he appoints teacher chaperones for school activities. 20
