Executives Put Their Policies Into Practice Contemplating plans for the future year, Mr. H. Slichenmyer, the superintendent of District 214, looks forward to even greater heights. Supervision of a four Year hlgh School for the flrst mme since 1956 has been a challenge to all those in administra- tive positions. An increase of students meant an increase in problems which administrators had to solve. Under the leadership of Mr. Kenneth E. Dougan, the Board of Education was responsible for the general policies of the high school. Superintendent H. L. Slichenmyer served as a liaison between the administration and the Board of Education. Together, Mr. Slichenmyer and Mr. Oliver organized and directed school procedure. As principal of Arlington High School, Dr. E. Eugene Oliver carried out the plans of the Board of Education, seeing that all teachers, employees, and students were in- formed of these plans and additions or changes in policy. Mr. Bruno W. Waara, assistant principal, had charge of student-teacher activities. From the beginning of regis- tration in August throughout the school year, all changes in students' schedules were supervised by Mr. Waara. Helping these men in the administrative and business offices were the secretaries, who handled students' records, teachers' supplies, tests, payrolls, mail, and the switchboard. I2
