MR. SIMON'S OFFICE HE administrative positions of Hughes are so varied that it is difiicult to classify them into certain divisions. With the varied interests of teachers and pupils situations constantly arise that must be dealt with promptly. The assistant principal must be ready to handle these situations. His IS the immense task of arranging the programs for the coming HD grade. He takes the option cards, which they made out in the eighth grade of elemen- tary school, and by means of information on these cards, he arranges them in classes. He has general supervision of the conduct and class progress of the first-year pupils. When he finds the Freshmen are not making satisfactory grades, he notifies the parents, and by conferences with them seeks to have the delinquents make greater effort. Mr. Simon has charge of the purchase and distribution of all supplies for the school. He makes an inventory at the close of the year of the books on hand, and, where there is a deficiency in the number needed for the ensuing year. he sends an order to the Board of Education for books. Other supplies for students are in stock in the salesroom, and are sold under the assistant principal's supervision. These sales amount to $5,000.00 per year, and the profits are used for the school. The assistant principal has com- plete charge of exams, he receives the questions from the teachers, has them printed and exercises general supervision of the exams. Each year he makes an inventory of all the equipment. va do you still wonder why we see Mr. Simon busy at all tlmes in all parts of the building? ROBERT KOPPENHOEFER. Nine

MR. KIZER AND HIS DUTIES R. KIZER is a busy man. Step into his office any time to see. He intrudes upon our personal aifairs, such as detention dates; our grades, when we try out for athletics. He also invites us down for special exams in his office. He is positively rude, the way he laughs when a pupil tells him the clock at home was slow this morning, or that the Bond Hill Special was late because bandits ran off with a few sections of track! Hughes High records show that the only time Mr. Kizer excused us for being late was the time a cow blocked the track, and necessitated the building of a detour. This autocrat, too, seems especially delighted when you have detention and a promise to meet mother down town-or someone else. Nevertheless, Mr. Kizer helps us out when we lose our locker keys; he writes hundreds of excuses; he arranges our lunch hours, and varies the first, second and third lunch period so that we do not have to starve; and last, but not least, he is our Hughes Club sponsor. He meets with us, is one of us, and gives us his broader experience and his Wholesome advice. Here is to your health and happiness, Mr. Kizer emay you continue to give your valuable services to Hughes. GLEN WILLIS. Ten
