if COST ANALYSIS FIGURES for the new high school are tabulated quickly and efficiently by school secretaries, Miss Anna Mary Raab and Mrs. Katherine Foust. EDUCATIONAL LEADERS GUIDE Educational institutions like other public and private enter- prises require efficient and dynamic leadership. In the West- mont Hilltop Senior High School this leadership was provided by Mr. Donald A. Watts, Supervising Principal, Mr. Wilbur C. Wolf, Assistant Supervising Principal, Mr. William F. Shaffer, High School Principal, and Mr. Clyde W. Reighard, Assistant High School Principal. As educational leaders the administrative staff's primary responsibility was to facilitate and improve instruction. To accom- plish this objective, they performed both administrative and supervisory duties. The administrative function involved the organization and operation ofthe high school, while the supervi- sory function was designed to bring about a continui,ng improve- ment in the instructional program. Guiding the educational destinies of more than eight hundred students constituted a tremendous challenge and respon- sibility. By exercising sound professional judgment and leader- ship, the members of the administrative staff discharged their responsibilities efficiently and effectively. 3-1- Q.-l WILLIAM F.
