' - The phoQnician4y'34,f E I Administration HE Administrative Department of the Phoenix Union High School consists of' the main office, the Business office, the Registrar's oflice and the oHice ofthe Educational Director, all of which are now located on the hrst floor of the Administration building. The first of these four oflices is that of' Daniel F. Jantzen, Principal of the Phoenix Union High School. To him as the head executive, all 1. u school matters are taken for final approval or rejection. Assisting him, as his secretary, is Mrs. Grace Buckingham, who takes care of records, correspondence and appointments for Mr. Jantzen. Next to the Business Office under the direction of Mr. Griswold, Mrs. Carpenter, and Mr. Bassford. Here all the Business of' the High School is transacted and records are kept of all money spent and taken in, as well as that on deposit for each department and activity. All orders and requisitions, and science and athletic deposits are taken care of in this office. In a high school as large as the Phoenix High, there is a great deal of such business to be handled, thus requiring the individual attention of those persons in charge of this oflice. In the Registrar's Oflice under the supervision of Harold Bargeman, Registrar and his assistants, George Stewart, and Verland Haldiman, all details of registration and attendance are cared for. Here students must register and receive schedules for classes. Each time the student is obliged to be absent from school he must obtain an admittance card from the Registrar before he may return to his classes. Each day all teachers are required to send in to the Registrar's oflice, attendance re- ports giving the numbers ofthe students absent from the classes of' that day. In connection with the work of the Registrar, Miss Nell Zetty, credential clerk, keeps the records of all the credits of the students in the school, as well as those of' the former students and graduates. The last of' the four administrative oflices is that of the Educational Director, Mr. Grant E. Delph. Through investigation of school conditions, he decides what changes in administration or courses of study will be of benefit to the school and students. He also compiles statistics showing the growth and efliciency of the school and plans new and beneficial lines of work for the student. Mr. Delph assisted in making the Edu- cational Survey of' the school this year. Ralph Fields, a student in the class of nineteen twenty-four, has been secretary in the Educational oflice for the past year. Probably the most important link in the chain which forms the Ad- ministration ofthe Phoenix Union High School is the Board of Education. The members of the Board are prominent in the activities of Phoenix and Arizona, but even so, willingly devote their time to the needs of' the school district. Mr. A. A. Betts, the President ofthe Board, is now chairman of , the Corporation Commission of Arizona and is recognized as a national T I' authority on the subject of railroad rates. Mr. Lin B. Orme, the Clerk 3' of the Board, is at present chairman of the Board of Pardons and Paroles 131, of the State of Arizona. Mr. H. C. Baldwin, one of the Valley's leading D jj! citrus growers, Mrs. Louie Gage Dennett, one of the leading club women of the State, and Mr. R. C. Stanford, former Judge of the Superior Court, I are the other members of the Board of' Education. The students of' the Phoenix Union High School are to be congratulated on being under the direction of so capable a Board of Education.

I2f' I-if-a i, mrpmmmfae I ii : 7 English Department English department of the Phoenix Union High School offers a full four year course in grammar, composition, and litera- ture. In addition to these courses sub-depart- ments of Journalism and Expression are main- tained. The purpose of the English course is to teach the students how to use their native language accuratelyyand effectively and to ap- preciate the great Works of literature in that language. The first is accomplished through the courses in compositiong the second by the courses in literature. , Q The Journalism division, under the direction of Miss Davis, is re- sponsible for the publication of the Coyote Journal, the weekly news- paper of the High School community. Many of the graduates from this department secure positions in the field ofjournalism, and by their success prove the value of this type of work in the High School. The Expression division is under the direction of Miss Gray. This department is growing in popularity with the students and the patrons. One or two special programs are given each year by this division, and members of the classes are often called upon to represent the High School in an oilicial capacity. Among the activities of the department are found the direction of the work in Debating and Oratory, and the assistance of many school organizations in presenting short plays. It is the hope of the department to build up this phase of our work and to become more helpful to the school. K .ANN.-Klllil. CHANDLER A.B. University of North Dakota.
