Johnny and Mary have just come through the com- munity room and are entering the ollice hall. They know that the door of the first olhce 110 always has welcome written all over it. As they step into the room they are greeted with a cheery hello and at once feel at ease. The entire atmosphere ol the room is informal and personal, for it is the man behind the big green desk who makes it so-he is our principal, I. M. Brock. Realizing the need for a building large enough to house 1600 education-seeking students for six hours a day, and necessary equipment to Ht the student lor his future occupation, Mr. Brock compiled available statistics and gave full cooperation and support to concerning the old build- ing and the school program in preparation lor a new plant. Alter actual building plans were on paper he kept constant check trying to bring together or cor- l 1 re ate tie needs of the teacher and student with ideas of practical construction and architectural design. Mr. Brock's school day is taken up with the super- vision ol organization and curriculum, representing the Board ol Education and Superintendent of Schools, discussing and approving various policies which are adopted through him, planning ways to make the school more democratic, and to make more valuable the hours spent at Arthur Hill. Proving his leadership and executive ability, he was elected to the presidenc ol' the 'VI' I ' those seeking information - y . t ic ugan Secondary School Association, to the high school program com- mittee chairmanship oll the state, to the Parent- Teacher State Education committee, to the member- ship ol the directing committee ol Michigan Sec- ondary School Association study, to tl1e vice-presi dency olf Veterans of Foreign Wzirs, to the Y.M.C.A.

Mary may have a little difliculty in Hnding her pals at any one of the one hundred tables in this beautiful dining room where a clock ticks ollf the time, and occasionally an announcement on a radio program will come over the PA system. For gazers, from the spacious windows at either end of the room blocks and blocks of the community may be looked out upon. Always neat and clean is the huge kitchen in the back of the cafeteria where four women and numerous student helpers under the supervision of Miss Ellen Green with the aid of an electric potato inasher, plenty of pots and pans, a large refrigera- tion system and other model kitchen equip- ment serve those healthful, tasty dishes. just off the hall in back of the cafeteria is a private and cozy room with six round tables where tired and hungry faculty members can take their trays and enjoy their lunches away from noisy students. Pots and pans hung up in neat order, con- venient gas ovens, steam oven for keeping food warm, and a modern chopping block should serve as an incentive for those who concoct the good food that emerges from the fully-equipped, well-ventilated kitchen. Down a flight of stairs and into the boys' locker room under their gym, we find ample space for athletic-minded johnny to check his gym clothes in a screened-in cage, and pllt his belongings in one of the lock- ers. Then for the llnal primping there are plenty of mirrors available. When the electrically operated folding wall between the boys' and the girls' gyms is open, the ultra-modern gymnasium has the reputation of being one of the largest in the state with a 135 by go foot floor. The door when not pleated into a wall recep- tacle makes two separate gyms olf regula- tion size. While the rooms in the modern power house back of the main building may look like a massive mix-up contraption of pipes, still each little pipe has a delinite place to go and a dehnite job to dog so arranged that each room of the building receives steam heat and in case it is so desired sec- tions of the building can be heated inde- pendently. 13

AD TDY A knock upon a second door, a pleasant invitation of entre and johnny steps into another room with the same air of friend- liness about it. He, however, should probably be a bit timid and sellf-conscious as he talks to anot.l1er executive, because a person who is in charge ol absence and tardiness is usually one students would rather not deal with too often. But not at Arthur Hill, for Mr. Ray- mond Morrow, is a real friend of the students. Morning line-up in the general ollice Ends late-corners out oi breath from hurrying, pre- sumably, a little shut-eyed, and traces of thought upon their faces, probably wrack- ing their brains for a good excuse. After tell- ing the troubles of late to Mr. Morrow, students step from tl1e ollice with a slip- white or blue-they leel satisfied because they know that i11 all fairness the ap- propriate color was issued. Boys freely talk their problems over with Mr. Morrow who capably Hlls the position of boys' counselor and adviser of the Student Union Cabinet. As Johnny speaks to Mr, Morrow, Mary discovers that she too has need for counsel- ing. Her steps along the hall lead directly to the center olhce 111, where Miss Ethel A. Peterson is busily poring over papers prob- ably concerning scholarships, health, or the activity calendar all of which she directs. She, too, has a full day, for besides being girls' counselor and heading special activities, she teaches three English classes. Assisting Miss Peterson and Mr. Morrow in counseling and guidance are Hlty-two Mrs. Salvner, Room IIS. heads general olhce stail Mr, Morrow, Room ll2, Boys' Counselor home-room advisers with a group ol' these offering still more thorough direction in a new course, Art of Living. Living is one thing but knowing the art of it is another and 368 10B and 12A students have learned a portion of tl1at technique by taking the one-semester required course, Art of Living. By alternating with gym or library, each student had the subject every other day Miss Novack, Room 113, assists in oflice aflairs 1 Miss Peterson, Room 111, is Girls' Counselor studying the 11nits: Entering School, How to Study, Personality, Manners and Etiquette, Educational Program Plan Guidance, Voca- tional Choice Guidance, Health, Recreation and Leisure Time, Character Building, and Entering Into Adult Connnunity Life. Under the direction of Miss Eloise Bacon, who has spent some time studying guidance problems for her master's degree in this field, Mrs. Sallie M. Brown, Miss Margaret Fraser, Miss Mary F. Lewis, Mr. Harve Light, Miss Ethel Peterson, Mr. Maurice C. Schmidt, Miss Helen Spagnuola, and Mr. Arnold E. Wolgast were instructors of the subject. After discussions with the administration both Johnny and Mary walk towards the general oflice. Sounds issuing from a room to the left show that oflice helpers are busy. A peek in finds Miss Elsie Novack, StCl1Og- rapher, busily supervising the mimeograph, at the same time, telling a student helper the steps ol operation. The short walk iinally ends up in the gen- eral oihce where Mrs. Arnold Salvner, secre- tary, is heard answering telephone calls probably after pausing from planning and arranging program cards, or detailed reports for the superintendent's ofhce. It was a pleasant walk for John and Mary. Both agree, as do students, parents, and the en tire community, that the administrative staff is one that wants to efhciently and graciously aid in the organization for study and leadership. 15
