High school has always raised questions and caused problems for students. This year with the modular sche- duling Miss Agnes Mahon and Father John Boehman, O.F.M. were especially helpful. Miss Mahon received her B.S. from Saint Joseph ' s Col- lege, Emmitsburg, Maryland and her M.A. from the Uni- versity of Notre Dame. Father John received his B.S. and M.A. in counseling from Notre Dame. During the past seven years Father John aided the underclass on the coming year ' s cur- riculum and counseled many seniors in their future ca- reers. High school was where students added to their educa- tion and began to steer their life on a somewhat planned course. But where were their lives headed? There were many paths to choose, college, vocational school, or the business world. Our two counselors were very capable and willing in showing students what was available to them and directing them towards their future. As guidance counselor, Miss Mahon instructs on future careers. Much information can be found outside her office. 26 Guidance Provided for nquiring Students Father John diligently reads over a student ' s file. As Father John ' s secretary, Mrs. Miller takes care of all his paper work.

Team Administration One of Luers main objectives is to form a Christian Community, where everyone accepts others and where each one can contribute to the whole. The forming of a team administration was the first step taken to facilitate this goal. With the change from traditional scheduling to modular scheduling, the administration also felt the need for a change in their department. It has therefore converted from single administration to an administrative team. The team was instituted so that individuals could become more concerned with the facets of the total Luers community. Thus the administration was divided into six departments. The first was the school administrator, Fr. Donnul. He acted as chairman of the team as a whole, at their weekly review meetings. His jobs consisted mostly of outside activities such as representing Luers at local, area, and diocesan school boards. In addition to this he became involved with the public relations of Luers and the par- ents ' club. Fr. Conan, as the supervisory administrator, was con- cerned with the representation of the students in the administration. His representation entailed a rapport with the Student Congress and the daily routines and opera- tion of the school. Fr. Conan is also responsible for two new committees, the administrative review board and the Concern Committee. Father John headed the third department as the aca- demic affairs administrator. His obligation to the guid- ance and curriculum of Luers consisted of coordinating the tutor system and the student testing, report cards and summer school. As the faculty administrator, Father Joseph ' s job con- cerned the teacher-administration relationship. It also in- cluded faculty meetings and the professional status of teachers. Father Vernon ' s job, as organization administrator, was to coordinate all of the co-curricular and extra-curricular activities at Luers. Included in this is the organization of all clubs, sports, banquets, spring and fall dramas, publi- cations, and all outside use of the school ' s facilities. Father Flavian took care of the financial aspects of Luers. This included a system of expenses and income for both faculty and non-faculty employees, and all of the financial records and reports prepared and sent to the diocesan financial administration mo nthly. As financial administrator, one of Fr. Flavian ' s duties is to collect tuition.

Office Staff Shows Efficiency The office staff at Luers for the 1970-71 school year was comprised of five dedicated men and women. They spent their time keeping the records and the financial and business aspects of the Luers Community running smoothly. Mrs. Hankee has worked as secretary at Luers for seven years. Her responsibilities included compiling the daily list of absentees, answering the phone, and sorting the mail. Assisting Mrs. Hankee with her duties in the office was Mrs. John Stearns. She did the greater part of the typing and compositing for the school newspaper, Knight Lights. Mrs. Powell worked daily in the bookstore before classes in the morning and during the lunch mods. She also helped Sister Maxine in the library and took over Mrs. Stearns ' job when she left. Taking care of the financial aspects at Luers was Fr. Flavian. He organized a system of expenses and income for both faculty and non-faculty employees. Brother Dave, along with teaching typing, helped Fr. Flavian with the bookwork and the financial needs.
