Olivia Hakel Head Office Clerk Ruth Kern Office Clerk Janice Toth Office Clerk A dedicated administrative staff provided students with a diversified education. Each administrator combined his experience and knowledge for the duties of enforcing school policy and conducting the numerous opera- tions involved in running a large high school. Both Mr. Michael J. Ferrare, principal, and Mr. Donald DeNardo, assistant principal, completed their sixth year at Academy. Mrs. Bertha Blau and Mr. James Murfree, who shared the administrative positions as assistant principals, completed their third and second years respectively. The staff worked together to insure a meaningful 1971 school year for all . ... , ,, , „ students. Academy office without Miss Hakel s experience and efficiency would be like a ship without a rudder. Office activities range from humorous to serious. Mrs. Kern, office clerk, obligingly writes a tardy slip for Cathy Smith. 2) James Murfree Assistant Principal

Counselors listen . . . help . . . advise Jay Buchanan Guidance Ruth Schoenfeld Guidance Elsie Post Guidance William Pryor Guidance Charles Verdecchia Guidance Donald Zonno Guidance Academy's guidance counselors were always available when needed. Mrs. Schoenfeld, Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Zonno, Mrs. Post, Mr. Verdecchia, and Mr. Pryor gave freely of their time helping students with family or scholastic problems, supplying necessary in- formation, and, in some instances, recom- mending specific colleges geared to meet the needs of the individual student. It was their interest and determination that made possible our successful participation in College Night and in the Kiwanis Day program. Whatever may be the nature of Rosemary Arrington's discussion, Mrs. Post, girls’ guidance counselor, is never too busy to listen attentively. 22
