--I1 que..- ,J ASSISTANT SU PERVISING PRINCIPAL ARTHUR V. TOVVNSEND Our assistant Supervising Prin- cipal, Mr. Townsend, is perhaps the busiest man in our school. On his shoulders tall the respon- sibilities ot business as usual plus the many other tasks which he feels can be most quickly and efficiently done by giving them his personal attention. Mr. Town- send serves as faculty manager of athletics, advisor to the Stu- dent Council and other student organizations, and treasurer for all school organizations. No matter how busy he might be, Mr. Townsend finds time to listen to the problems of faculty members and students, and in et- fect has gained a reputation of being a solver of problems . ATTENDANCE DIRECTOR DAVID G. BEHRERS Perhaps the most talked to man in our administration is Mr. David Behrers. E v e r y school morning he can be seen standing behind the desk listening patient- ly to the reasons of students for b e i n g absent. In addition to checking excuses, Mr. Behrers c h e c k s over each teacher's monthly attendance record, Stu- dents passing room IOS can look in and see Mr. Behrers serving in another capacity, that of being a teacher.
