Q5 MRS. HELEN DAVIS MR. RAYMOND KENNEDY Life of High School Deon Has Many Facets In addition to advising the girls at MHS who may encounter difficulties along the route of the turbulent teens, Mrs. Helen Davis also teaches a home economics class. As dean of girls her official duties are at- tendance. She issues blue and occasionally pink slips and checks on the health and welfare of each girl. She is also club co-ordinator, a job which has become quite involved with the increase in clubs and membership. This year she assumed responsibility of the school calendar which entails scheduling and clearing all events held by the school or in the school. Mrs. Davis also serves as secretary of the Teachers Council. 0 Mr. Raymond Kennedy, our new assistant principal, has other titles following his name. He is dean of boys and sponsor of Student Council. , As assistant principal he helps Mr. Brown whenever and however possible. Detentions are meted out and served in his office, and al- though he is kind and has a nice smile, the boys have learned that he can also say without wavering, That will be 25 minutes, and if you're late we'll double it. In his role as dean of boys, he also checks daily attendance of the male students. Sponsoring Student Council also requires a great deal of time as the Council holds such an important role in student government. PAGE NINETEEN

MR. CYRUS GUNN . I xv' - f -l.. MR. WARD BROWN New School Buildings Toke the Spotlight With the completion of the Poston Road Elementary School, the School Board began plans for the construction of another grade school at the end of east Columbus Street. The East School is to be finished by the fall of 1958. Many new students with the aid of Supt. Cyrus Gunn and Principal Ward Brown en- tered into the active life of MHS. Although the enrolhnent continues to increase, the ad- ministration with expert planning has kept the routine on an even keel. In connection with the constant use of the buildings, Mr. Brown suggested a new activities calendar which was installed in the Dean's office. The board ordered research material for the faculty and purchased a bus for the students to be used to transport them to various func- tions. The school administration procured new bookkeeping equipment for the new office which is located at 190 South Jefferson Street.

Effort of Stott Assures Smooth Operation We have a very efficient staff that makes it possible for our school to run smoothly. Al- though they are usually behind the scene, we could not operate without their cooperation, Mr. Baker, our maintenance director, sees to it that repairs and supplies are taken care of. Checking the attendance and assisting ill students to get home from school are the main interests of Mr. Taylor. Mrs. Jean Favour and her assistants carry out the school health program.
