ADMINISTRATION I-IE Administrative Department of the Phoenix Union High School consists of the main, office, the Business office, the Registrar's ofiice and the office of the Educational Director, all of which are now located on the first floor of the Administration building. The first of these four offices is that of Daniel F. vlantzen, Principal of the Phoenix Union High School. To him as the head executive, all 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 is the Business Oflice under the direction of Mr. Griswold, Mrs. Carpenter, and IVIr. Bassforcl. 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 oflice. ln 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 office. In the Registrar's Oflice under the supervision of Harold Bargeman, Registrar and his assistants, George Stewart, and Lee Fretz, 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 office, attendance re- ports giving the numbers of the 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 offices is that of the Educational Director, Mr. Grant E. Delph.

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 office for the past year. Probably the most important link in the chain which forms the Ad- ministration of the 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 of the Board, is now chairman of the Corporation Commission of Arizona and is recognized as a national authority on the subject of railroad rates. Mr. Lin B. Orme, the Clerk of the Board, is at present chairman of the Board of Pardons and Paroles of the State of Arizona. Mr. H. C. Baldwin, one of the Valley's leading 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. 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. 26
