Most counselors and secretaries agreed that the ma- chines were no problem. The new smoking policy moved smokers to the patios behind little schools. Assistant principals suspended a number of stu- dents early in the year for violations. Three new counselors joined the staff, leaving Miss Margaret Fowler, who began here in 1961 when the school opened, as the cement that holds the counseling staff together, according to new E School counselor Larry Carpenter. He was in charge of job placement. Other new staffers were Dave Alexander, C School, who ar- ranged college rep visits, and Mrs. Lois lones, D School, in charge of scholar- ship information. A new name appeared in D School with the marriage of Miss Kim Elgin, who became Mrs. lohnston. , iv. 3' 1.-fb ' , i 4, digg Q6 n ,. 'qi' V fs 1 sl w l l l l l 4 l ...J Q0

New Policies Greet Staff After receiving complaints from stu- dents and staff for several years, the administration enforced a new smoking policy last fall. Smoking was banned except on the patios and in the parking lots. Al Twidwell, security officer, ree ported six to eight violations a day until the third week, but the students have done an exceptional job, Mr. Twid' well said. Prices in the cafeteria were raised to 80 cents for students and Sl for teach- ers. Cafeteria director Mrs. Erma Hor- ton said that the two lunch periods were helpful and made the cafeteria less crowded. New head custodian Red lordan had a staff of nine men to maintain the eight permanent buildings and five annexes. Blood pressure tests for staff were taken by newcomer Mrs. Burt Uhlrig, school nurse, and students' eyes and hearing were tested in the fall. After being nurse for the Oakland schools, Mrs. Uhlrig, who was graduated from St. Francis School of Nursing in 1956, came here. I just love it, she said.
