Vice-Principals Mrs. Helen Hoeksema and Dr. James Snell and Dean of Students Barry Conner found many changes in their duties this year. This’ year, Dr. Snell handled scheduling of students through computer programing, relieving some of the clerical load on fac- ulty members. Prior to the computer pro- graming all of the schedules were done by hand by advisors, counselors and Dr. Snell's office. The computer also handled printing names and classes on report cards. Next year AHS is planning to use another computer in the attendance office. Other changes this year came in disci- ee and attendance duties. Mr. Conner andled only the boys’ discipline and at- tendance, while Mrs. Hoeksema took over the girls’. Mr. Bell and Dr. Snell admire the cover of the Acorn. Dr. Snell reads up on data processing.
