HAZEL KOCH RUTH ANN WHITE Senior Adviser JL1I1i0r Adviser The duties of Miss Hazel Koch, senior class adviser and teacher of English, are both many and varied. Perhaps her biggest task throughout the year is checking individually each senior's program, including the majors, minors, and credits. She helps in selecting the class play and in planning the prom, the mixer, and all other senior activities. ln all of these she tries to arrange it so that every student will have a chance to take a part. Meetings between repre- sentatives of various colleges and seniors who are interested in those colleges are also planned by Miss Koch. Another of her duties is consulting with the pupil, the family, the teacher involved, or the employer about the failure notices a student receives. Finally, she takes care of measuring every senior for his cap and gown and supervises all the commencement activities for the class. Miss Ruth White, English teacher and junior class adviser, concerns herself with helping all juniors to have a happy and successful school year. She not only checks the credits, majors, and minors, CATHARINE NEEDHAM Sophomore Adviser and all subjects elected by the juniors, but she also plans the par- ents' night and helps direct the Junior Prom, their play, and their informal mixer. Besides this Miss White serves as adviser for the National Honor Society and so each year plans and arranges the very impressive National Honor Assembly. One of East High School's music teachers, Miss Catherine Need- ham, is also the sophomore class adviser and serving in that capac- ity gives her a very interesting as well as busy schedule. Helpful aids in arranging majors and minors are found in the Kruder Preference Test which measures interest areas and gives a survey of the subjects offered at East. Planning social activities, partici- pation in class committees for the sophomore party, sophomore honor group, parents' night, and Christmas decorations are just a few of the ways in which Miss Needham helps to adjust sopho- mores to the social groups. As Dean of Boys, Mr. Harry W. Kroll, East High's assistant prin- cipal, has a large group of activities for which he is responsible. Checking the irregular list and the attendance records, giving per- WINIFRED LEDGER Dean of Girls Besides teaching in the Social Studies department, Miss Ledger also serves as dean for all of the East High girls. Her duties as such are many and varied, but they serve to make her job an interesting one. Checking both attendance records and the irregular lists are two things which ,take a great deal of her time each day. Along with this she also issues late admits to those coming tardy to classes, supervises the ROTC sponsors, and gives both help and advice to anyone who is in need of it. Likewise, all of the various school activities must be scheduled by Miss Ledger. In addition to rendering all these services, she also willingly gives much of her time to chaperoning many of the school parties and proms. sonal and helpful guidance to those boys who need it, adjusting the sizes of all of the classes, and assigning lockers to everyone in school are but a few of his many duties. He also arranges for all of East High's competitive sports and contests. Mr. Kroll, like all of our other executives, is always willing to give both his time and service toward furthering our school spirit and activities. HARRY WY KROLL Assistant Principal
