Headmaster New to Administration this year is Headmaster Dennis Gray. Starting off the year with an assembly, he made it known to us how he felt about public relations and communication, we all knew that the Administra- tion was on our side. We're working as one body for the students. Asked what he felt were the strongest points of Judson, Mr. Gray answered, We are located on fantastic Arizona countryside, for one. The solid academics are good and of good variety. Last, I feel the International aspect of it all is great. Meeting and getting to know everybody is very educational in itselff, Mr. Gray's belief in the students and his open mind has helped us make it through the year. He has made it a very educational year, scholastically and socially. Dean of Students Also new to Administration this year, but not new to Judson, is Dean of Students, Ann Karraker. Formerly Head of Girls Residence, where she aided girls in their personal lives, she now helps boys and girls in their academic lives, in which she is very pro- ficient. Asked what her goals were, Miss Karraker replied, I would like to bring the school and the students together. Tighten the communication lines. Keeping herself busy at Judson is what we all know her for. She lets the students know that they have responsibilities as well as herself. If we have problems, she's always there to help. I like to do things for the students and I do my best to get them donef,

For the last twenty years, Miss O'Dono- ghue has been involved in worldwide education, the last five years being in Zambia, Africa. She has an ex- tensive knowledge of schooling situations. It,s not just another job. It gave me the opportunity to work with the students, particularly. She felt that this sort of job was challenging and meaningful for her, although she says, It was hectic and tiring at times, but it still proved rewardingf' Miss O,Donoghue likes the people she's working with, including the counselors, staff, and especially the students. Itis her favorite part of her job. Asked what her main goal was for the year, she re- plied, To create a constant, happy environment and to help the girls to grow into mature women? The year was full of happiness and was good all the year round. 5 - ,Xxx ' Richard Long Richard Long was our new Head of Boys, Residence this year. With his experience in Africa and in the Peace Corps, Mr. Long did an excellent job of keeping things in order. Students are the same all over the world. They all require the same amount of time and under- standing. I found out that at Judson, the students are more cooperative than anywhere else I,ve worked. Mr. Long's goals were fulfilled this year. He wanted to create a home atmosphere and to get the staff to re- spect the students, like the students do them. I want the students to feel wanted and not lonelyf' When it came to accomplishing things for the school, Mr. Long was ifl. He worked day and night to organize and reorganize the clubs and activities on campus. Asked what he liked best about Judson, Mr. Long replied, The international mixture of all the students here is fantastic.
