Student Problems Occupy Registrar and Deans Q Mr. Conrad Quenelle, assistant principal for pupil personnel, has the task of co-ordinating the at- tendance, registration and counseling programs of Catalina. Individual student absences come directly under his jurisdiction. Although he is able to handle most of the pupil registration during the summer, this phase of his job takes the greatest part of his time. Planning student programs and scheduling subjects is a more compli- cated job because of the staggered sessions. Mr. Quenelle feels these are better than split shifts which might destroy school spirit and unity. General supervision of the counseling department keeps Mr. Quenelle busy the rest of the year. Much of the paperwork that keeps the Wheels turning at CHS is done by the registrars. They make out students' schedules with the aid of the addressograph machine. Two metal plates with the studentis name, schedule, address and phone number are inserted in the machine. Then the finished sched- ule card is run off. IBM report cards are issued to all the teachers by the registrars at the end of every six Weeks. Some other duties include registering students for each new school year and filing the permanent records. vw w fp ff 1 15, W f4,4'2 1 9 ' af ada 2,4 ..

High School Principal Scheduling 526 courses for 2390 Catalina students occupied Principal Rollin T. Gridley this year. XYith the opening of Palo Verde High School, eight teachers were transferred. He then had to find fourteen qualified teachers so as to have an efficient, co-operative faculty for this school year. These unusual problems supplemented other duties which are compulsory year after year for Mr. Gridley. As a matter of course, he is in charge of co-ordinating faculty meetings, preparing the school budget, and di- recting the instructional program of the school. From Ianesville, Wisconsin, Mr. Gridley came to Tucson, attended the University of Arizona, and took a position at Tucson High School. He has been in the Tucson School System for 36 years and three generations of Tucson students have been directly or indirectly under his influence. As Mr. Gridley's secretary, Mrs. Lillian Leonard takes dictation, makes appointments, fills out requisi- tions and gives information to both students and teachers. Pausing from making out requisitions and giving information is Mrs. Lillian Leonard, Mr. Gridleyis secretary. Encounters Unusual Tasks -fffffi ai- -' Ai-,if ff ..
