‘P%c tccfral Our principal, Herbert Adams, is al- ways ready to help students get the best values from their high school ex- periences. Each student is encouraged to visit him and talk over any problems. Interpreting the regulations of the Board of Education as they affect the policies of Ames High School is a big job. Many important decisions affecting the school life are made by him. Mr. Adams spends many hours in confer- ence with students seeing that they get into the classes which best meet their needs. He plans the schedule of all classes. This job has become increasing- ly difficult with added enrollment and a sharing of classroom facilities with Central Junior High. Mr. Adams is always on hand to meet new students and to confer with teach- ers and visitors. Throughout the year he sees that our school runs smoothly. Secn£ vtie4- A constant stream of students in and out of the office keeps Mrs. Daisy Flack and Mrs. Ruth Green, Mr. Adams' assistants, busy. Their most important jobs are keeping a confidential record of all the students in high school and sending out transcripts of records for the seniors. Typing daily bulletins and weekly calendars and stamp- ing passes are also some of the many tasks of the secretaries. They keep a complete record of the school's absentees and act as the school's receptionists. Aiding them in the office by col- lecting attendance slips, answering the tele- phone, and doing various other odd jobs are Joan Bachman, Sandy Rouze, Sandy Carpenter, Karen Pratt, and Barbara Kyle. 10 Mrs. Daisy Flack, Mrs. Ruth Green
