Students lnfluence Administration Involvement began with class council and senate. Conferences by students with principal, Mr. Jay Formsma, followed by patience and determination, produced positive results. Teach- ers and groups concerned with planning also sought his advice. Mr. Seymour LeVine was of great assistance to students with ideas for changes and innova- tions. He also helped Mrs. Dorothy Bentley write a booklet entitled The Stevenson Plan and You. Director of Research, Mr. Anthony Aquino, was also concerned with students. He conducted surveys on everything from gradu- ates to drop-outs to student attitudes. The Board of Education carried through with the ideas of the students. Decisions concerning Shared Learning and Minority Group Relations werea few of the problems encountered by them. Mr. Aquino and Mr. LeVine attempted to aid in the scheduling of students and teachers. ...lan- Coordination of ideas from the Board of Education, faculty, and students was the task of principal Mr. Formsma.

The Big Three -vi ,aw 2 - Count at Stevenson Mr. Weipert appears to be wrapped up in his paper work. 4 Ah, 4 Qee eeeee Xi, ' in - T Q f f 3 in i is Jean Kee Dorothy LaVasseur Betty Kushigian Claire Siebenbeodt I've lost my I.D. card. What should I do? Where do I go to sign up for Driver's Ed?', These were familiar questions to the people who staffed the Assistant Principals' Offices. Hardly a day passed when such student emergencies didn't arise, yet the three offices were always pre- pared. One of the most complicated projects of the year was that of scheduling. If a math teacher wound up teaching an English class in the home ec. room, something was wrong somewhere. The task of tangling and untangling this fantastic mix- up fell on Mr. Dale C'oller's office, not once, but twice a year. While Mr. Coller was busy scheduling students into classes, Mrs. Dorothy Bentley was more con- cerned with whether or not the students showed up. The early morning hours were the busiest as the secretaries typed up the list of absent students while the absent students were checking in late. Room 445 was missing a table and two chairs and room 446 had a hole in the wall. Who cared? Mr. Oliver Weipert did. The Business Office's responsibilities included room inventory and re- pairs as well as the purchasing of new equipment. Telephone conferences were only a small part of Mrs. Bentley's many responsibilities while running the atten- dance office. 'Qi
