rlfzzzfuzsti'atmts Fl1l'lllillLldf6 olicies OUR PiuNc'lP.,x1,, Mr. Taylor F. Johnston, not only has managed the divergent functions of the school hut also has devised the extended day schedule as a means of accommodating in- creased enrollment. Mr. Johnston enjoys horti- culture as a diversion from his demanding tasks. This year the enrollment necessitated two vice principals. Mr. J. Karl Schwartz and Mr. Harvey Refo, to aid Mr. Johnston. Mr. Schwartz's work consists of supervising disci- pline for juniors and seniors and adjusting ir- regularities in attendance. During vacations Mr. Schwartz likes to travel, and visited the St. Lawrence Seaway last summer. There is no actual cleavage between the work of Mr. Refo and that of Mr. Schwartz. Mr. Refo's main tasks are connected with attend- ance, scheduling, and the supervision of the sophomore class. Away from school. Mr. Refo is a dilettante of photography and woodworking. Mr. J.

These are the teachers re- sponsible for orientating new teachers, ordering and scheduling nlms, attending department and inter-department meetings, and assisting in planning courses of study. Other duties include taking inventories of old equipment and order- ing and checking new equipment. Lack of teaching aids. such phonographs, creates ditliculty arises from the split shifts. some as tilm projectors and a major problem. Another the fact that, because of teachers work from 7:45 a. m. until 3:00 p. nt., and others from 9:15 a. m. to 4:30 p. nt.. thus complicating the task of scheduling meetings. Though heading a department presents many problems, it also gives numerous satisfactions. Some department heads say that being able to view the department as a whole gives a clearer picture of their students' viewpoints. Others feel that the satisfaction of seeing new teachers become experienced is of great importance to them. Other favorable aspects of the position include additional free periods. a slight increase in salary, and a certain degree of prestige.
