An integral part of the school, the Administra- tion has the task of co-ordinating the work of the faculty and students. Numbered in the Administra- tive Staff are: Mr. Bookhout, Supervising Princi- palg Mr. Bradt, Vice-Principal and Guidance Director, the Misses Parker, Geurtze, and Smith. Secretaries, Miss Humiston, School Nurse, and Mrs. Skillman, Bookkeeper. As we reach each new step of our Stairway to the Stars we meet a fresh problem or a new challenge .... Behind us and the scenes is the Administration .... Keeping the books .... Watching the students' health .... Listening to those tardy excuses .... Filing the endless reports that make up our records here at B.C.H.S .... Guiding decisions for careers and colleges .... Solving the problems of cur- riculum and public relations .... Planning for the future. The Board of Education, a guiding factor in the adminis- tration of Bethlehem Central, with John Glenn, President, led the way in the past year for such improvements as our new busses,the plans for an addition to the present edi- fice and the Elsmere school, and for the construction of a new building in Clarksville. The Board has always listened with a keenly tuned ear to the pulse-beat of Central. Board members are Joseph Killough, Herbert Jones, George Teeling, and George Winegard. AIIMI I TRATIII
