Campus Problems Solved By Administrative Council Composing the Administrative Council of North High were sixteen faculty members whose proven abil- ities were fully utilized. The main purpose of the Council was to act as faculty advisor to the principal on matters of policy. The Administrative Council was a clearing house for ideas concerning the school. During meetings all school matters coming from Mr. Burton were discussed and decided on before public release. Unique in the PUHS-PC system, Administrative Council enabled the principal to have a representative idea of the faculty members' opinions of problems which were brought before the group. Mr. Stanley Cardon, Boys' Advisor, and Dean of Girls Miss Vera McCormick were responsible for at- tending to problems which concerned the two compo- nents of the North High student body. School activities and student discipline were supervised by Mr. Orville Hamm, an assistant principal at North. Mr. Lynn Fitz- gerald, the other assistant principal, was in charge of registration procedures. L my fi t t Mr. Cardon Mr. Fitzgerald Boys' Advisor A.vs't. Principal fi!

Counselors were invaluable in aiding and directing students toward the realization of their individual needs and objectives. Mr. W. D. Roche and his staff helped freshmen and transfer students, and administered various tests which assisted in placing pupils in the correct group. Counselors were placed among the students' best and wisest friends. Their sound advice helped North students understand how important school was, and why education was imperative to become an active member of adult so- ciety. College catalogues were found in the Guidance Office, and the counselors arranged for representatives from vari- ous colleges to visit our campus and talk to seniors about any specific problems regarding their school. Mr. Harry West assisted students to decide on school courses and Mrs denburg helped students plan sthedules and vocations after graduating from high school. interpret various test results
