Meeting with faculty members, planning daily schedules, and super- vising the many MHS activities, he has proven himself to be invaluable to teachers and students alike. Mr. Smith’s great enthusiasm is an important factor in the boosting of student morale and school spirit. Assistant principal, Jay Schaff, is an indispensible member of the school administration. With the help of the IBM machine he works out the difficult scheduling of classes. Mr. Schaff competently handles the varied problems of student and teacher. Mr. Norman Ziebell, activity director, schedules club meetings and all extra-curricular functions. The home- coming parade and athletic awards are also under his direction.
