administration leads stu- dents toward self-direction with new policies. A chief administrator Mr. Gene Douglas faces problems because G. W. 's schedule is so unusual. One of these problems is the in- creased amount of dirt in G.W. due to excess student movement as compared to that of a traditional school. This year to furthur stress student self-direction, Mr. Douglas instigated the moving of the Commons downstairs, and the construction of the QSA. He is responsible for the addition of labs for independent work, and has turned the library over to research only. Mr. Paul Callahan exclaims that he would never trade a modular-system high school for the traditional type now that he has been at G. W. ! Mr. Callahan's job is to insure the regular attendance of classes by the students. He is also accountable for disciplining students and ordering text books and equipment for the school. The accounts of G.W. are kept by the school's secretary, Mrs. janet Lessley. New to G.W. this year Mrs. Lessley also has the momentous task of managing the oEice, helping the counselors, and of being secretary to Mr. Douglas.

Not only does Mrs. Hammel make the daily attendance report, but she phones the homes of absent students to determine the reason for their absence, and supervises the sign-in sheet.
