72 . . . FACULTY AND '- MAY BOREL Section Editor The 1951-52 school year witnessed several administrative changes designed to meet new needs. Some of the changes were the direct re- sult of faculty-student suggestion and discussion. As co-editors of this section of the Advance, we hope that all graduates will remember the healthy atmosphere which prevailed as well as the progress which we made together. To accommodate Mr. Ralph Davis and the record enrollment at Arcata High School, a new attendance office was built. This office was also designed to house our first counseling service, provided by Mrs. Florence Brown, Mr. Albert Blood, and Mr. Michael Chetlcovich. The advisory periods which had prevailed for many years were discarded and their functions turned over to the social science classes. This change gave the students a few extra minutes in which to reach school in the morning as well as a longer lunch period. The new gymnasium, completed late in May 1951, made it possible to schedule many assem- blies and rallies during the school day and to stage numerous social programs in the evening. One night each week the gym was open to the public for recreational purposes: on Saturday Www! May Borel and Barbara Walter select pictures for the Administra- tion section ot the Advance. STUDENTS MCVE AHEAD TOGETHER gil HARLENE LITTLEFIELD Assistant Section Editor mornings it was available to the students from the elementary school. 'While these changes and new features were being added to the scene, plans were made for next year. When school reopens next Septem- ber, students will see more innovations and more new buildings on campus. ln the field of student government, changes were also made. For the first time in years Song Queens were appointed by the executives. Guided by Miss Ruth Carroll, the Student Coun- cil took an intense interest in all interschool ac- tivities and played an important part in bringing the Sportsmanship Banner and Award to Arcata High School. Guided by Mr. lan Van Hee, the Student Court drew up a new Penal Code which was accepted by the students. The Coordinating Council, initiated last year, was reorganized and discussed mutual prob- lems of the students and administration. The Council was composed of four student repre- sentatives and four faculty members and was presided over by Mr. Clifford Sorem. We feel that Arcata High School has always striven to keep up with the times and that much progress was made in 1951-52 because of the atmosphere of cooperation.
