Positions Of Authority.. . decisions and responsibility Mr. Joseph J. Tarallo Principal Miss Katherine B. Creaney Mrs. Marian Leimbach Supervisor Registrar Accompanying the authority of a principal’s position arc hard work, responsibility, and decisions, decisions, deci- sions! These functions are not new to our principal, Mr. Tarallo, for he has had the opportunity to exercise them be- fore as principal of Richard Montgomery High School. What is new to him is the setting in which he is per- forming his familiar duties — Mr. Tarallo is comparatively new to B-CC; he is completing his third year here. He has guided formulation of policy, presided at lengthy meetings, and presented detailed reports to the Board of Education with great efficiency and success. Selection of new teachers and programs and solving of the problems involving anxious parents and students arc only a few projects which occupy the time of our busy principal. Equally busy is Miss Katherine Greancv, who is serving this year as Supervisor of Secondary Education, attached to the Office of Curriculum Development, and as Coordinator of the Secondary School English Program. She is a wel- come figure in our school. 25

Busy preparing a brochure on Mr. Thomas W. Pyle for the Bethcsda-Chevy Chase Educational Foundation are Mr. Tarallo, Miss Young, and Mrs. Lcimbach, registrar. Administrators ... attendance, guidance, supervision Assistant principals arc vital to the operation of our school. Obviously the smooth running of 7 buildings, 104 teachers, and 2190 students cannot be insured by just one person. Needed to help an able principal is a capable and devoted team of administrators, and B-CC is fortunate to have such a team in the persons of Miss Young, Mr. Killen, and Mr. Zimmerman. To Miss Young falls the enormous job of the counseling program. It is she who coordinates the work of the six counselors, provides for testing, and tackles the complexi- ties of devising schedules for every student in the school. Mr. Killen and Mr. Zimmerman divide between them the tremendous responsibilities of supervision, discipline, and attendance. Supervision involves nearly every phase of school life from planning next years calendar to taking care of build- ing repairs. Discipline and attendance deal with the late and the absent, the sick and the delinquent. Mr. Robert J. Killen MUs Dorothy O. Young Assistant Principal Assistant Principal Mr. Ray 0.

Mrs. Margaret Moore Sophomore Counselor Mr. Abell A. Norris. Jr. Senior Counselor Miss Helen Irene Phelps Junior Counselor Schedule And Test Students at B-CC benefit from mature thought as well as new ideas in the counseling offices. New this year are Mr. Alfred Sadusky and Mrs. Margaret Moore. “The only other new things are new problems.” states Mr. Abell Norris, sen- ior counselor. “Every year there is a student with a stranger schedule problem than we have confronted before . . . The main difference in colleges is that they’re more unpredict- able than ever. What happened last year can’t be used to tell much about this year.” B-CC has started many services that have not only been continued through the years but have been copied by other schools. A bulletin board in the cafeteria informs students of scholarship opportunities. Over 150 colleges send rep- resentatives for luncheon conferences; over 350 have cata- logs in the Browsing Room.
