THOMAS B. VANCE Principal Cfiice Staff Our well organized and capable office per- sonnel have undertaken duties to supervise and carry out all activities necessary in operat- ing our school efficiently. This centralization of office functions enables our principal, Thomas B. Vance, to devote more of his time to respon- sibilities of major concern to the school and to his newer duties as Territorial Director of the High School Victory Corps. The school office serves many purposes. lt is a contact room between the school and vis- itors from the outside world. Here, any matter of business is taken care of promptly and ques- tions are answered accurately and courteously by any one of the administrative assistants. Student registration, preparation of enrollment data, attendance and absence reports, pro- gram filing, the business of transfers, collection of fees, mimeograph work, supervision of an office training class learning how to handle routine office wprk, and counseling keeps this department the busiest in the school. This year the advisers have assisted our stu- dents in securing part-time employment to bal- ance the pineapple field work programs of the other schools on Oahu. Another important phase of their work has been their guidance of pupils by helping them out of difficulties, aid- ing them in making the proper adjustments, and by holding personal interviews with them whenever the need arises.

FACULTY When school opened in September, many sacrifices in staff members had already been made. The offices of civilian defense, war industries, and the army drafted a few. Substitute teachers, inifing three members of the armed forces, were added as replacements to stabilize conditions and bring our school life somewhat back to normal. We owe our most grateful appreciation to all of our teachers, for through their influence and their good advice we have progressed. They have toiled to put knowledge into our heads. They have aimed to build up in our hearts faith in our democratic ideals. They have been patient, able, and excellent advisers in their efforts to nurture and mold us so that we might find a niche for ourselves in this world. All this they have done well, for they'have not forgotten that it is still their responsibility to pass understanding along and to turn out good citizens.
