Thus, the board has done and continues to do an excellent job in the handling of the administrative problems of the district. The job of the supervising principal is one concerned with putting the policies of the board into practice. Despite the time and effort spent in carrying out this work, Mr. Iordan found time to deal with the prob- lems of various organizations and individu- als. Many of his suggestions and policies were well received by faculty, students, and parents. His friendliness and cooperation added to the spirit of the school. Mr. Hollenback was faced with many problems directly concerned with students and their activities. In his own way he man- aged to smooth out many of the tangles which resulted. Busy as he was, he always found time to help an individual student. Because of these things Mr. Hollenback was an important part of the Avonworth spirit. Thus, the Board of Education, Mr. Iordan, and Mr. Hollenback have done what they could to provide an excellent school system for the Avonworth district. Miss Yeck, secretary to the supervising principal, works on school finances. Preparing a transcript is Mrs. Thompson, secre- tary in the guidance office.
