Erna R. Chapman Assistant Principal As an assistant principal, Mr. Horn prepares the weekly bulletin of events, presides over assemblies and handles official matters when Mrs. Wells has to be away from school. Always there are detention halls to schedule, lockers to assign, poli- cies to carry out and many details to attend to. At moments he may feel like the old woman in the shoe-he has so many troubles he doesn't know what to do! But, with his ability, troubles have a way of vanishing. The efhcient operation of our school demonstrates that Mr. Horn and Mrs. Chapman lend harmo- nious assistance to Mrs. Wells as she directs our iourney through high school. f 1' Musical compositions have their composers and, when presented in concert, their conductors. So, in the composition of life itself, there are those who help us, who guide and direct us. Chief among them at Roosevelt are our principal and her assistants. For years we have approached Mrs. Chapman with What's Cookin'? and meant it literally. Today we mean it figuratively. As a result of the retirement of Miss Lettie Stewart, we find Mrs. Chapman, our former teacher of home eco- nomics, sitting behind the desk in one oflice of the assistant principal. No doubt she could talk for hours about the maze of duties she has inherited in serving the special interests of all girls at Roosevelt. In ad- dition to special problems of various individuals, she has had schedules and programs to plan, assemblies to participate in and parents to meet. From her happy smile and pleasant manner, we'd say she enjoys every phase of her iob. At any rate, we are grateful to her. She has contributed much to the harmony of our school life.

Before graduation many seniors seek Miss Bromley's friendly advice about college. Howard Hill and Deena Ryckofl strike up a conversation in the hall, while Anita Barzune and Robert Kogok study bulletins in the college room. Selecting the college suited for you isn't an easy iob, Richard Staton, James Collins and Libby Belson seem to be tackling the problem with the right attitude. V 'vw
