Directing a modern, new, compre- hensive high school to insure maximum efficiency and economy is a fulltime job. During the past four years Mr. Donald F. Stone, principal, has done just that to guide West Phoenix High School to its coming of age. Prin- cipal Stone has helped West soothe its growing pains as the enrollment soared to over 2,500 students. One of his many attributes is a genuine interest in the welfare and adequate educational growth of West's boys and girls. He is constantly pur- suing his goal for student participation in school government. His door is always open to parents, students, and teachers. No problem is too great or too small to merit Principal Stone's undivided attention. Besides his endless work as director of one of Arizona's largest secondary schools, he is executive secretary of the Arizona Inter-Scholastic Associa- tion, an active pilot, and a regular member of the Kiwanis Club. il4l

As principal's secretary since I949, Miss Glenna Wilson handles all of Mr. Stone's correspondence, keeps his ap- pointments straight and works jointly with Mrs. Lawrence in auditing the school budget, filing requisitions, and perform- ing the thousand and one tasks that keep West High on a clockwork schedule. She and Mrs. Lawrence keep a scrap- book of all West High's activities. At present they have completed four of these valuable documents. Cffice Mrs. Fay Lawrence is one of the at- tractive young women who helps keep the clearing house that is the front office in working order. Although formerly with the dean's office, she has worked with Principal Stone for the past three years. The switchboard occupies much of her time, through it comes every phone call both to and within the school. In her spare moments, she makes' P. A. an- nouncements and regulates the chimes according to the daily schedule. i - ..., 2 4 KL mf K xl .hi , -g4..'f'iz'I.2.. f 5 , ,---...,, II ' A, -s... -f------W f V.w,. - W-wa...
