Administration Guides Mounties FRANK A PEAKE, Principal Olivet College. A B.; Howard Coltgc, M.A., I.LD. Through the past fifteen years, the cverincreasing heights attained by Shades Valley attest to the administrative abilities of the people who have chartered its course. Heading this able staff is Dr. Frank Peake, who has held the position of principal since the school began in 1949. The year 1963 has brought some changes, however. Hugh Stegall, in his first year at Shades Valley, holds the position of vice-principal. New to the school is the position of business manager, which has been capably filled by Henry Alexander, formerly head of the Industrial Arts Department. Backed by an efficient staff of office personnel, the administration, in a short span of years, has placed Shades Valley in a prominent position, both locally and on a state-wide level. 10

Counselors Pioneer Guidance Program HORTON B. CHAMBLEH Boys' Counselor Howard College. B.S. OUIDA HIGHTOWER Girls' Counselor State Teachers College B.S. B'ham Southern. A.B. LAMOINE KEARCE Sophomore Counselor Oklahoma State Univ., B.S. The Guidance Department of Shades Valley High School was established before the school itself was in operation. Due to the forethought of the first principal. Dr. Frank A. Peake, this essential department was formed even before the curriculum for the school was set up. Throughout the fifteen years of Valley's existence Mrs. Hightower and Mr. Chamblee have endeavored to provide each individual student with the attention he needs. Due to the tremendous pressure from colleges for an increasingly higher quality of education and due to the expanding number of students in our school, the pressure of the counseling office have increased greatly. To provide the students with continued high quality guidance, another counselor and an assistant to the counselors have been added to the staff. Our Guidance Department was a pioneer in the state and was helpful in the organization of the State Guidance Association. 12 ELIZABETH LIVERMORE Assistant Counselor Texas University, B B A.
