There is really more to getting a reinstate- ment slip, or an early dismissal than there appears on the surface. First of all your at- tendance record is investigated, and if you have been absent four times, a parent must come to school. Each early dismissal, ab- sence, or cut is recorded in an individual folder for each person. Not only does a grade adviser take care of attendance records, but also offers his services in adjusting the problems of the students under his super- vision in regard to program difficulties and numerous other miscellaneous hindrances to a happy school life. Until February of this year, the attendance MR. SPECHT Upon entering Hyde Park in 1940, Mr. john R. Specht assumed the former position of Mr. Archibald W. Smalley. His first task was to confer with pupils who heretofore had been of the Huck Finn type, but who greatly improved after having a few man to man chats with Mr. Specht. He instituted a new plan whereby Fresh- men were automatically assigned to the club of their choice. Additional data reveals that Mr. Specht has been instrumental in revising class registration and the attendance office system. GRADE ADVISERS ofhce was in room 150, but now each class has a separate office, the Freshmen in 150, Sophomores in 216, juniors in 150, and Seniors in 227w. The various grade advisers split the day into various sections, each ad- viser having a set time in the office. The advisers are: Freshmen-Miss Mabel Cur- tiss, Miss Mary Robb, Sophomores-Miss Veronica Whelan, Mrs. Sara Priddy, Juniors-Miss Margaret-Anne Walker, Mr. Frank Williamson, Seniors-Miss Harriet Messelheiser, Mrs. Grace Edgar, Mrs. Iso- lina Flores, and Mrs. Katherine Jensen. Ac- cording to these teachers, the new system planned by Mr. Specht is more efficient. Page l6
