Leonard Raifens- perger and Edna Lenicek advise IIB homerooms in addition to their counseling duties. Information Plea e With a background of a B. S. and M. A. degree from the State University of Iowa, Leonard Raf- fensperger, as vice-principal, assists Principal Charles Hoffman in directing the policies of the school. Scheduling of classes is under his direct supervision. He is director of the testing program and is responsible for putting the results on each student's permanent record. Questions concerning high school credit and other phases of veteran administration are also under his counsel. He directs the entire athletic program including coaching football and acts as chairman of the faculty guidance committee. Miss Edna Lenicek is in the know about all those doings around school that make life interesting and busy for students and teachers because, as co- ordinator of all student activities, she is advisor for student council and its committees, she is the personal counselor for the students, and she is in charge of the extra-curricular program. Her job brings her in contact with more indi- viduals at East high than that of any other teacher. She helps students adjust to high school life when they come here as sophomores and provides a pro- gram of activities which will give them the chance to express themselves throughout their high school days. Miss Lenicek has both a Bachelor of Music and an M. A. degree from the State University of Iowa. Miss Edna May Rittenhouse has charge of attendance records, a position which includes both counselling and guidance. She tries to serve as the intermediary between the parents and students in cases which might lead to juvenile delinquency. Miss Rittenhouse graduated from Iowa State Teachers College with a B. A. degree and has done graduate work at the University of Chicago, Harvard and the State University of Iowa. Juanita Dale and Billie Z3 Jean Brown assist Miss Rittenhouse in writing excuses in the morning and at noon.

Hoffman to suggest that we start con- sidering a commencement speaker, but after weigh- ing the suggestion, we immediately realized the soundness of his counsel. Of course we'll all remember that harrassing week in which we collected payments on announce- ments and cards. Very often we had to take as long as thirty or forty minutes for tabulating and compiling our reports. Later we worked in cooperation with the an- nual staff to distribute ballots and tally the votes for the popularity poll conducted in February. Those eight o'clock meetings in Miss Camp- bell's room resulted in varied plans and activities, always with the best interests of our class at heart - the class of '47.
