Vice-Principals Serve First Year IAMES MCNAMARA BOYS' VICE-PRINCIPAL .4 'U ii - r . gn X ,- 141. .',-i V .N ,ng Moving up from the post of attendance counselor, well-liked James McNamara served his first year as boys' vice-principal. Due to the district expansion program and the retirement of last year's principal McNamara is the only top level administrator re- maining from last year. Male discipline was the major responsibility of the boys' vice-principal, but his duties entailed far more than that one aspect. Campus supervision, parent conferences, classroom visitation, the study of curriculum revision, and the improvement of in- struction were all part of the dean's daily routine. Mr. McNamara also worked to improve the rela- tionships between home and school and planned fire and civil defense drills. GIRLS VICE-PRINCIPAL MISS DANA CHRISTESEN ...L fi -vyh EW 'fu-' sr A -'s resign! 4.125 5 ,g Q 5' Cooperation, friendliness, and harmony on the campus were three reasons Why Miss Dana Christen- sen liked Anaheim High School. According to her, a friendly and well-groomed campus has helped to make AHS a great school. Miss Christensen states that the high standards and traditions at Anahi dur- ing '62-'63 helped bring forth a better teacher-stu- dent relationship as well as inspiring 'a more spirited student body. Her personal conferences kept her in close contact with the immediate needs of all Connies. Although her major activity was establishing girls' discipline, Miss Christensen had many more jobs in- cluding setting up the entire school's daily schedule. She was also Girls' League sponsor, dress board adviser, and was in charge of the oHice staff. 17

Principal s Fir t Year S eeessful This Annual is an expression of the spirit of Anaheim High School, produced in a form which will constantly recall the activities, achievements, and memories of this very im- portant period of time in students' lives. The spirit one expresses shows in many ways and is a most revealing thing, even in such little things as the expression on one's face while sitting in class or walking down the hall, and friendliness in meeting people or in loudly and loyally supporting a team. It can show an at- titude of success or failure, determination, calm- ness, ever indicating one's innermost feelings. In much the same way as an individual is judged by the way his spirit shows, a school is also judged by the spirit expressed, and the at- titude manifested by its students, whether at school, at home, or in the community. The students of Anaheim are fortunate in having so many opportunities for study, ac- tivity, development, and for expression of their fine spirit. May the seniors of 1965 long remem- ber their alma mater and establish in their own lives high standards of action, and show appre- ciation of the privilege of living in a country where freedom to express spirit is an under- lying principle.

ounselors, Social tudies Teachers Plan For Future During the three years that most students spend at AHS they meet new friends, study under many teachers, and participate in various activities, yet one thing remains constant - their counselors. The counselors administered a variety of tests that were helpful in planning for future occupations. Their aim was that every student would at- tain maximum potential. Their concern, help, and understanding in the forms of programming, per- sonal advice, help with college preparations, or short sessions of just plain talk were appreciated by every Colonist.
